Why is there a person with a different uniform from rest on each of these volleyball teams? Team captain?

They are known as the LIBERO.

"The libero is a player specialized in defensive skills: the libero must wear a contrasting jersey color from their teammates and cannot block or attack the ball when it is entirely above net height".

Fitting Naomi goes out on an unforced error. Brutal performance out of her. Marketa did exactly what she had to do, and let Naomi beat herself.

Hometown pressure?
Probably didn't want to be there anyway...she played like it

Osaka's played in 6 tournaments in 7 months before the Olympics, and she was out before the 2nd round in half of those tournaments. She has to play more to get it back in gear. She was moving and serving out there like she hadn't played in months.
