Nelly Korda's Paris Olympics gesture—misunderstood yoga or just a champion's stretch?

A recent incident that caught the attention of fans was Nelly Korda’s strange move at the Paris Olympics. Was it a yoga pose, a stretch, or something else? While Nelly Korda is now recognized for her intense workouts, her link to yoga is still ambiguous. On the other hand, her sister Jessica Korda is a very active yoga enthusiast. This connection has created speculation, but does it prove anything? Now, it is time to shed light on the truth about Nelly Korda’s fitness routine and this moment.

Nelly Korda is an American professional golfer, famous for her hard work and rigorous training. Yet, yoga is not something she has personally endorsed, unlike her sister Jessica Korda, who often posts her yoga sessions on social networks.

Jessica’s Instagram, @thejessicakorda, features a post with the caption, “🌞 Good morning Yoga in my new Statement Collection 🌞“. This raises questions: Does Nelly Korda also include yoga in her fitness routine?

While Jessica Korda is obviously enthusiastic about yoga, the situation with Nelly Korda is more doubtful. Nelly Korda has made no information from social media or any public statement implying she does yoga. Still, since her sister is so into it, it cannot be ruled out completely. People went through Nelly Korda’s Instagram profile and there were multiple workout posts, but no yoga, which again, contributes to the curiosity.

Is Nelly Korda in a family of fitness enthusiasts?

What’s your perspective on:

Have an interesting take?

The Korda family is sporty, as it has been mentioned before. Tennis is in her DNA since her father Petr Korda used to play tennis (A former Tennis Player) and her brother Sebastian Korda is a budding Tennis player. Based on this background, it is not astonishing that fitness remains an integral aspect of Nelly Korda’s life.
