Naomi Osaka becomes the first Black female athlete to appear on a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover Naomi Osaka just made history as the first Black female athlete to pose for a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover. Osaka, who will be representing Japan at the 2021 Olympics, was photographed by Yu Tsai for one of three covers for the magazine’s swimsuit issue. She posed in Norma Kamali swimwear and earrings from Beads by Cowrie. “I wouldn’t have thought that I would have been the first one,” Osaka said of being the first Black female athlete on a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover in a conversation with Tyra Banks. Banks was the first Black woman to star on the cover of the magazine alone. “I’m glad that this barrier is being broken,” Osaka told Banks. “I hope there are many, many more people to come, and I’m sure there will be,” she added. Osaka, 23, released her American citizenship in 2019 so she could compete for Japan in the 2021 Olympics.

Joe Biden says getting vaccinated ‘gigantically important’

HiIndia• Newsdesk NATIONAL EDITION | Volume 13 Issue No. 628 JULY 23, 2021 | THE COMMUNITY FIRST | hiindia.com - News Update 24X7 Sania Mirza and Rohan Bopanna have slammed the Indian tennis association (AITA) for denying the country “a very good shot at a medal” and for “misleading the players, the government, media and everyone else” by stating there is still a chance for Bopanna to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics. Bopanna said in a social media post on Monday that the International Tennis Federation (ITF) did not accept any entry request for him and Sumit Nagal, who qualified for the men’s singles event. He said this was in contradiction to AITA pairing him with Nagal for the men’s doubles competition by withdrawing Divij Sharan’s nomination. Bopanna and Sharan were not able to directly secure a place for the men’s doubles event at Tokyo Olympics. AITA Secretary General Anil Dhupar, meanwhile, hit back at Bopanna’s allegations, saying qualification for the Olympics should not have been left at the mercy of withdrawals.
