Osaka, Biles, Pignatiello and mental health

Nadia Podoroska competed in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in women’s singles and in mixed doubles. While resting in the face of the cement tour of the United States, Argentina referred to the topic of the moment: Mental health.

“Those who love sports follow us and are awaiting our results: please, before writing something about any athlete in a social network, think that we are people who feel and suffer things like the rest, and that we do our best to give the best, because nobody but us suffers the consequences of a bad result. Hate messages on social networks cause a lot of damage and have no justification “, was the beginning of Podoroska’s letter on her social networks.

“From the sport that I play professionally, Naomi Osaka brought up the issue of mental health. In # Tokyo2020 the whole world could hear a star like Simone Biles. In Argentina we have a luxury athlete like Delfina Pignatiello who is suffering constant attacks. Why? Sport has the incredible ability to unite us and train healthy people for society. Let’s not destroy it! “, Added the Rosario.

In closing, he thanked: “Thanks to all my team (current and past) for helping me and guiding me to fulfill one of my dreams. Thanks to all the Argentine delegation for these beautiful days of coexistence. Thank you family, for always being with me despite the distance. And thanks to those who follow me with respectful and loving messages. “
