SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. – The International Olympic Committee announced on Tuesday that the Tokyo Games has been postponed to some time next year due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Seminole County resident and four-time Olympian Chaunte Lowe had mixed feelings about the announcement. "It has been an emotional roller coaster these past couple of days," the bronze medalist in high jump said. "As much I had wanted to go and how much I was working, it didn't seem like a wise decision for it to continue." Lowe had been preparing for the Games in 2020, despite being diagnosed with breast cancer last year. “I’ve been training for it since chemotherapy and now I have to wait another year,” she said.
