Olympian Monica Abbott Gets Heartfelt Sendoff From Home as Tokyo Games Kick Off
But, as Monica's Instagram shows, there has been little to no time for sightseeing as they keep up with their rigorous training schedule. Since landing in Japan's capital, Monica said they have seen Miyajima, Fushimi Inari and Mount Fuji,, "Or at least we paused to take a selfie in front of pictures of them… and then we got back at it and focused on the main thing."
This is Monica's second time participating in the Olympics. She pitched for Team USA during the 2008 Summer Games in Beijing, China, taking home the silver medal. Their loss against Japan marked the first time Team USA did not take home the gold medal since softball became an Olympic event in 1996.Monica and the rest of Team USA sat out the 2012 Olympic Games in London, as well as the 2016 Rio Games, after the International Olympic Committee voted to discontinue softball and baseball.
