Manje, u-Ohashi usebenzisa inkundla yakhe ukuze ayinamathisele kuwo wonke ama-body-shamer owake wahlulela kanye/noma abajikijeli besifazane abangabafuni.

U-Ohashi uhlonishwe kuma-ESPYs ka-2019 ngoLwesithathu, ethole umklomelo "we-Best Viral Sports Moment," kanye nokuqokwa kwe-"Best Play," kodwa ngenkathi u-Ohashi aziwa ngesimo sakhe senjabulo esithathelwanayo nezindlela zokudlala, kwaba njalo. inkulumo yakhe yokwamukela ebaluleke kakhulu—eyethulwe njengenkondlo—eyanakwa kulokhu. Ngenkathi esesiteji, wathinta ukuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi nokuhlazeka komzimba okugcwala kuma-gymnastics abesifazane njengamanje, kufaka phakathi namazwana alimazayo awatholile uqobo.

U-Ohashi uqhubeke wabonga abazali bakhe nabaqeqeshi ngokumeseka futhi wazwakalisa ukubonga nge-inthanethi ngokwenza ama-ESPY akhe aphumelele. Ukhulume nezixhwanguxhwangu ku-inthanethi futhi waveza ukuntuleka okukhulu kwenhlonipho emizimbeni yabesifazane ku-inthanethi nakucansi.

"Njengowesifazane kwezemidlalo, abesifazane baphawula izinto ezinjengokuthi 'kufanele ube ekhishini,' ngibika ngokudabukisayo. I-skimpy leos yenza kube lula ukubonakala, futhi abantu bakuthatha njengomsebenzi wabo ukungehlulela," kusho u-Ohashi, enezela ngokuthi. uthole ukuphawula mayelana nomfaniswano wakhe "uveza kakhulu," ukuthi umzimba wakhe "ukhuluphele kakhulu" futhi "ujiyile."
