- ‘Our life is public but not all our emotions have to be’
- Mental health of elite athletes has been under scrutiny
Two-time Olympic champion Simone Manuel has called for a halt to interviews immediately after athletes have suffered disappointing performances.
The American swimmer made the remarks on Twitter on Friday evening.
Please stop interviewing athletes right after a disappointing performance before they have any time to process anything. Trust me. They gave it their all. Nothing else people need to know at that time.
