Fox News
In an essay in Time magazine’s Olympic preview issue, Naomi Osaka wrote that she hopes “we can enact measures to protect athletes, especially the fragile ones."
"I want to thank everyone who supported me," the 23-year-old wrote. "There are too many to name, but I want to start with my family and friends, who have been amazing. There is nothing more important than those relationships. I also want to thank those in the public eye who have supported, encouraged and offered such kind words. Michelle Obama, Michael Phelps, Steph Curry, Novak Djokovic, Meghan Markle, to name a few." In the issue, which hit newsstands on Friday, Osaka said athletes should be allowed to skip media obligations without punishment, especially if they are going through a trying time.More Related News
