Lindsey Vonn and Naomi Osaka
American skiing great Lindsey Vonn has spoken in support of Japanese tennis star Naomi Osaka, who received a lot of backlash after she refused to attend press conferences at the French Open to protect her mental health.
Vonn felt that Osaka has shed light on mental health, a topic which is overlooked. Talking about the choice and the reasons that led Osaka to retire from Roland Garros earlier this year, Vonn told Forbes magazine: “I think we are a lot farther along in the process of making mental health more a topic that can be talked about. I think that what Naomi has done is shine a huge global light on issues of mental health and support, and towards normalising it.”
