Japan athlete's Olympic gold medal to be replaced after mayor bites it amid COVID-19

Japanese athlete Miu Goto will have her medal replaced with a fresh one after the mayor of her hometown was seen biting it amid COVID-19, Tokyo 2020 organisers said. Mayor Takashi Kawamura was criticised on social media for disregarding coronavirus etiquette. He had earlier apologised, saying, "I forgot my position as Nagoya mayor and acted in an extremely inappropriate way."
