Olympic athletes learned some tough news this week, as Japan's Prime Minister Abe Shinzo and International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach officially postponed this summer's games to next year. Athletes have been training relentlessly for the coming months so there's some disappointment. But it was clearly the right move given the current circumstances and some athletes actually expressed a bit of relief.
Including American hurdler Lolo Jones.
After missing the 2016 Games because of hip surgery, the 37-year-old was set to make her return to the Olympic track but after learning of the news, all Jones seemed to really care about was ordering a pizza.
Yes, a pizza.
Guess she'll have another year now to rehab the hip?
Jones could be 39 by the time she competes in in 2021, so she made sure to poke fun at her relatively older age. Someone get this Olympian a mic for stand up!
jokes aside, Jones made sure to note that the proper decision was made.
Jones is still searching for her first Olympic medal so we'll have to wait and see if she can get it done. In the meantime... enjoy that za!
