TennisWorthy 2022: Martina Navratilova, Sacrifice for Something Greater 

This story allows makes me sad. To be put into that situation to sacrifice so much. Martina’s story is something out of a movie. Truly inspiring. ❤

Martina Navratilova is without question the GOAT of women's tennis!!!. No other player could have gone through what she went through and win everything she did and for so long. She's a global icon and role model and someone like Martina comes along once in lifetime. Her achievements will never be equalled never mind beaten!!!.

Martina great champion

Growing up in former Czechoslovakia, to me this video pretty much comes down to what Hana Mandlikova said here so clearly: "She didn't know whether she would ever see her parents again." It was a crime by national law to leave the country or stay abroad longer for which you were sentenced to several years in jail (in your absence). Your parents and siblings were automatically disadvantaged or spied on in the better case. Now imagine this 18-year old (lesbian) girl who defects because she feels this huge potential and decides to follow her dream, carrying this heavy bag into the unknown. Respect for Martina and her family and shame on communists for putting people in this position.

Always think of you as a great champion Martina

🐐
