According to NHK, Naomi Osaka is the winner of the four-time women's singles Grand Slam champion of the Tennis Open, the first Asian player to reach the first place in the world ranking of tennis singles, and at the same time, she also lit the main torch at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympic Games on the 23rd, making her one of the most watched athletes at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Seeing the defeat of Naomi Osaka, some netizens felt sorry for her, saying, "I would like to see (Naomi Osaka) win the gold medal, which is a pity." Osaka doesn't look good, and the opponents are doing well." ↓
However, because Osaka Naomi is a mixed-race child, living in the United States since she was 3 years old, some Japanese netizens have a very mean attitude towards her, and some Japanese netizens insulted, "Before you prepared the big task of lighting the main torch, there is no more humiliating ugliness than (stopping the third round), hurry back to the United States." If you can, don't come back to Japan" ↓
Some Japanese netizens sneered, "It is because I can't sing 'Junnodai (Japanese national anthem)' and deliberately (avoid the gold medal)." ↓
Not only did Japanese netizens make unbearable hate remarks about Naomi Osaka's defeat, but even the Japanese media "Tokyo Sino-Japanese Sports" was suspected of deliberately using "ugly pictures" to smear Naomi Osaka when it reported that Naomi Osaka was eliminated. ↓
"Tokyo Sino-Japanese Sports": "My God", "Even cheekily lost", Naomi Osaka stopped the third round to bring impact to the Internet... Will you be interviewed later?
In response to the pictures used in "Tokyo Sino-Japanese Sports", some Japanese netizens commented that they "felt the malice (towards Naomi Osaka)." ↓
Naomi Osaka said during the French Open in May that she would rather quit the tournament than attend a post-match press conference, and confessed that she had been plagued by depression since the 2018 US Open. Toshiro Endo, a professor at Yamanashi University in Japan and an expert in sports psychology, said in an interview with the Mainichi Shimbun that Osaka was booed and applauded at the 2018 US Open awards ceremony, which may lead to depression. Top athletes are often considered "mentally strong," but they also often fall into self-denial, which in turn leads to depression.
After the match, a calm Japanese netizen said, "The reports (comment column) related to Naomi Osaka were filled with hate speech every time, which was discouraging. The Olympic Charter emphasizes 'diversity', but it can be seen from this incident that it does not exist in the Japanese mind. It's sad".
Naomi Osaka was born in Osaka, Japan in 1997 to a Haitian father and a Japanese mother. Her mother's last name is pronounced exactly the same as "Osaka", and "Naomi" is a transliteration of her English name naomi. Naomi Osaka, 23, won her first Grand Slam title at the US Open in 2018, followed by another us open in 2020 and a women's singles title twice at the Australian Open in 2019 and 2021.
