Julius Ssekitoleko, a Ugandan weightlifter who was reported missing in Japan ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, was located in Yokkaichi City.
Hisako Ueno and Motoko Rich of the New York Times reported Tuesday that Ssekitoleko, who'd left a note in his hotel room saying he wanted to seek employment in Japan, was located around 100 miles from his team's training camp in Osaka.
Uganda's Ministry of Foreign Affairs released a statement saying arrangements were being made for the weightlifter to return home as early as Wednesday:
