'Of course I am disappointed that it won't happen this year, but we'll all be ready to go stronger than ever in 2021,' Naomi Osaka said
on Instagram Friday said that she had been “thinking about how to articulate my thoughts on this for a couple days now.”
“Everyone knows how much the Olympics means to me and how proud I will be to participate in my home country,” said Osaka, who previously announced she would be representing Japan in the Olympics. “Of course I am disappointed that it won’t happen this year, but we’ll all be ready to go stronger than ever in 2021.”
“I support Prime Minister Abe’s brave decision and the IOC 100%. Sport will eventually unite us again and be there for us always, but that time is not now,” the athlete continued. “This is the time for people from all countries, backgrounds and races to rally together to save as many lives as we can. To me, that is the Olympic spirit.”
Osaka added, “To the people of Japan: stay strong, hang in there, and let’s show the world our beautiful country when the time is right in 2021. Stay safe everyone, take care of each other, be kind and we will make it through.”
