I fully believe that if there WERE people in the stadium when Osaka was revealed, there would have been an audible gasp, and likely a lot of murmuring. I doubt there would’ve been anyone booing, since that really isn’t a Japanese thing.

I did watch the whole shebang, and I noted that she didn’t even really look like she was even a little bit excited. She seemed to move in a manner that felt ‘lazy’.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a bunch of Japanese call for the firing of whoever made the decision to name her.

That’s a good point, there’s no way they would have picked her if the stadium was full.

In fact this whole BLM kneeling nonsense would have never happened without COVID.

Of course not, she hates Japan.

I don't think it was the Japanese's call, I suspect they were under pressure from the IOC.
