VIDEO: Olympian Lolo Jones Posts Hilarious Reaction to Tokyo 2020 Getting Postponed

With the sports world put on hold indefinitely, teams and leagues set to take the field a few months down the road are left unsure whether they'll even get the chance to suit up this year. Four months out from its anticipated start date, the International Olympic Committee officially postponed the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo early on Tuesday. You'd think the tight-knit community of Olympian athletes around the world would be upset by the delay of the games, but most of them probably saw it coming, at this point, and are relieved they no longer must go to great lengths to train on an uneven playing field. For American hurdler Lolo Jones in particular, she was practically waiting for the news to come to let loose.

Now that the 2020 Olympics have officially been sidetabled for a later date, Jones doesn't have to worry about her training routine and what she eats throughout the day. Instead of starting her Tuesday with a hearty portion of Wheaties, Jones jokingly poured herself an overflowing bowl of candy for breakfast.

Jones was not only waiting for the IOC to take action in response to the spread of COVID-19, but was actively pushing for it to happen. The 37-year-old feared for the health and safety of athletes like herself training in the months leading up to this summer, and apparently, her voice was heard.

Just because the Summer Olympics won't be starting on time doesn't mean they won't happen altogether. Both Jones and the IOC are hopeful that athletes around the world will eventually be able to return to their typical training regimen, and the Olympics will take place as planned next summer.
