GAUFF WITHDRAWS
Rising tennis star Coco Gauff has withdrawn from the Tokyo Olympics after testing positive for Covid-19.
Gauff, 17, would have been the youngest tennis player to play at the Olympic Games since 2000.
And she would have been the second youngest US tennis player to play at the Games, behind Jennifer Capriati, who won gold at Barcelona in 1992 at the age of 16.
Gauff said: "I am disappointed to share the news that I have tested positive for COVID and won't be able to play in the Olympic Games in Tokyo.
"It has always been a dream of mine to represent the USA at the Olympics, and I hope there will be many more chances for me to make this come true in the future.
"I want to wish TEAM USA best of luck and a safe games for every Olympian and the entire Olympic family."
TOKYO THRIFT
Tokyo is a city full of famous buildings and iconic architecture, writes ETIENNE FERMIE.
And its Olympic and Paralympic Village comes across as a homely, if slightly sterile, home for athletes that will descend upon it next month.
Athletes will sleep in single beds, with decoration kept to a minimum within the Covid-19 secure bubble.
The Tokyo 2020 pads possess a clean feel, while tenants will be ordered to eat alone.
Rio's 2016 Olympics was a Tinder hotspot, with matches having rocketed up 129 per cent in the area during the games.
Sex is set to be BANNED at this summer's edition - but precautions have been taken anyway.

MANHUNT
Ugandan weightlifter Julius Ssekitoleko has gone missing from his nation's Olympics training camp, writes DAVE FRASER.
Ssekitoleko, 20, was part of the Uganda squad who were training in Izumisano, Osaka.
But while in Japan, the weightlifter failed to qualify for the Games and - along with his coach - was due to fly back to the African nation on Tuesday.
However, he was discovered missing from his room, with reports claiming he left behind a note saying he wants to stay and work in Japan rather than return to Uganda.
A train station close to Uganda's training camp confirmed Ssekitoleko had purchased a bullet train ticket to Nagoya - roughly a 50-minute journey.
After hearing the news, Ugandan Weightlifting Federation president Salim Musoke slammed Ssekitoleko and the camp's security - who should have been keeping an eye out as part of the Games' strict Covid-19 protocols.

Ten members of Team GB are self-isolating at the troubled Tokyo Olympics after being designated as ‘close contacts’ of a positive Covid case, writes ROB MAUL and MARTIN LIPTON.
The British Olympic Association confirmed that six athletes and two staff members from the athletics team remain in isolation after an individual tested positive on their inbound flight from London on July 15.
And SunSport understands that another two staff members were locked in their hotel rooms in the Olympic village after coming in contact with a positive case two days before.
Everyone involved – and their names have been withheld from the public – has tested negative several times since arriving in Japan.
The BOA say that the athletics team are not at fault and the infected individual is not from the Team GB delegation.
