Ayibobo!
Why didn’t you wear the face masks of all the woman those men raped.
Such an over rated athlete, let’s see how she does after two babies and a 20 + year career....
We love you Naomi-chan!!!
Better to thank the ones that sold your ancestors because if they had not your win would not be possible? They say your 'homeland' is a reflection of who you are and your blood is like the 'homeland'? The struggles living in a civilized country are impossible like the 'homeland'?
I am sure all of Japan are proud of you !
Oh please.
I really appreciated on ur that positivity speech
Great nobody cares
✊🏿🇭🇹
Didn’t her ancestors surrender on the USS MISSOURI
Funny thing- Not 1 single Japanese pers. is interested in knowing her!
🤦🏼♂️ ridiculous! It was YOUR hard work, practice, dedication, commitment and love/support from family/friends/fans! That’s what helped you win and persevere! naomiosaka congratulations 🎉 well deserved!
Like the ancestors that killed thousands at Pearl Harbor, slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Chinese or other innocent civilians in the Pacific?!?
Very proud...we’ll talk about that boy friend....
Someone should remind her she’s also half Japanese.
It’s not your blood that makes you win. It’s your skill. God is colorblind.
Everytime I take a breath id like to thank my ancestors because if they had not breathed I would not be here

✊🏻I feel the same way about my bowel movements. 💩 I’ve yet to be disappointed.✊🏻
Our girl is a Champ, congratulations Naomi 🔥♥️🏆💐
MathiasPierre00 WOW, She is a real patriot. I know where this came from...Thanks Nao.
She’s an inspiration. 🌴🐶🐶
It wasn't the training, the dedication and the years of work - it was becasue some people she never met fucked and had babies.
We all have one common ancestor.
Wut
Go back with them
Can I thank my grandfather for shagging my Nan?
