Tennis star Naomi Osaka, the face of these Games, has been eliminated from the women’s singles event. Follow our live Tokyo Olympics coverage:
Australian Owen Wright leads Brazil’s Gabriel Medina narrowly in the bronze medal battle in the men’s surfing. Down to 10 minutes to go in this heat.The two regular bugbears of competitive surfing - poor waves and questionable judging - have been imported wholesale into the Tokyo Olympics.
Igarashi’s narrow win over Medina managed to melt down Brazilian Twitter with cries that Medina was roubado, or robbed. The judging did look a trifle Japan-friendly, but the polarising Medina wins little sympathy outside Brazil. In any case, in conditions that are deteriorating as the afternoon wears on, Medina, fired up after his shock loss, will make it hard for Wright to win bronze.
Curiously her father, former Olympian Richard Fox, is commentating for Channel Seven. He’ll provide plenty of insight I suppose but hopefully there’s no pretense of impartiality!It’s a bit of an anti-climax that Naomi Osaka, the face of these Games and a Japanese national hero, has been eliminated so early in the tennis tournament.Naomi Osaka was eliminated on Tuesday.
