PROFESSIONAL DELAY
She had intended to turn professional after the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, but had to delay her plans after the Games were postponed until 2021. "That was my plan. Right after the Olympics, 'Boom, I'm turning pro'. Now I've got to wait a whole other year. But I can wait 14 more months. Just train harder. I'll get wiser and a little older, you know."
