6x World Champion Wrestler Adeline Gray Draws Inspiration from Tennis Star Naomi Osaka’s Powerful Words

There are various eminent personalities in the annals of women’s freestyle wrestling. Amongst these, Adeline Gray stands still with a stunning record as a six-time world champion. Currently, Gray features being a mom to twins, whom she gave birth on July 23, 2022. Now, Adeline is eyeing achieving every possible milestone as a pound mother. 

The obstacles she faced post-childbirth added an intriguing twist to her comeback, which happened 14 months after giving birth. After overcoming the challenges of motherhood, like sleep and the demands of breastfeeding, Gray is now drawing inspiration from USA’s tennis sensation Naomi Osaka’s powerful quotes as a mother. 

Being a wrestler-mommy

Adeline Gray stunned everyone at the World Wrestling Championships held in Belgrade with exceptional moves. However, she settled for a bronze medal at the Women’s Freestyle event. Recently, she uploaded a story to her Instagram account that comprises a powerful quote from another mother, Naomi Osaka. The quote reads, “Parents, moms in particular, are historically told that the babies will be a barrier to personal goals -that they will stop you from achieving your dreams. But I have discovered that Shai is my ultimate motivator, she makes me want to achieve greatness.” 

Despite facing the challenges of being a mother, Osaka – who is blessed with a daughter – never fails to add feathers of accolades to her cap of honors. Along the same lines, Adeline looks up to Osaka and seems to draw inspiration from her to achieve greatness this year ahead of the Olympics.
