Olympic pole vaulter Alysha Newman says there's a silver lining to the coronavirus pandemic -- yeah, it sucks that the Games are postponed, but it's uniting the world like never before.
The 25-year-old Canadian -- who competed at the '16 Games -- had been hardcore training for Tokyo 2020 until COVID-19 stopped the sports world in its tracks.
But Newman says she's trying to focus on the positive -- and spelled it out to TMZ Sports.
"I'm going to get a whole another year of training and competition under my belt. Another year of growth as a person," Newman says.
