Japanese tennis player Naomi Osaka became the main star of the opening ceremony of the Olympics.
The colorful opening ceremony of the Games in Tokyo ended with the lighting of the Olympic flame. The right to open the Olympics was won by the world athlete, tennis player Naomi Osaka. Who is she and why was she entrusted with this honorable duty? Explaining.
The opening of the Games is always not only a holiday but also an exciting event for everyone. Not only the participants and directors of this show are preparing for it, but also athletes, as well as organizers of the competition. For example, in tennis, where the tournament starts the next day, the matches of the players who are entrusted to carry the flag of their country are not scheduled for the starting day. It was known that the best tennis player in Japan, Naomi Osaka, would not carry the flag of the host country of the Games at the ceremony, and therefore it is not surprising that the opening match of the tennis tournament should have been exactly the match with Osaka’s participation. However, on the eve of the Opening Ceremony, the schedule changed – the meeting of the second racket of the world with the Chinese woman Zheng Sisaiwas postponed to Sunday. Japanese journalists immediately concluded that Osaka would be entrusted with some important role in the main show of the Olympics. And they were not wrong.
