Kwesi siqendu sokuqala se-In Ulwazi: Ubude obugqithisileyo , sadibana no-Olympian u-Anthony Watson, owathi, emva kokulimala kakubi kwamadolo okuphelisa umkhondo wakhe kunye nomsebenzi wakhe, akazange acinge ukuba uya kuba nomsebenzi wezemidlalo kwakhona.
Ekuqaleni, waziva enyanzelekile ukuba anikezele. Kodwa nasemva kokuzama ukulandela ezinye iinkalo awayenamandla kuzo, uWatson akazange akwazi ukuyishukumisa imvakalelo yokuba ufanele abe yimbaleki.
Ukuba yimbaleki yeOlimpiki, kum, yiyo yonke into, uWatson uxelele kuLwazi. Eyona nto inkulu efunekayo ukuze ufike apha kukuzinikela.
Emva kophando oluthile, uWatson wafumana umdyarho wamathambo-umdlalo ogqithisileyo ongenakubangela uxinzelelo olukhulu edolweni, kwaye usenokondla ubume bakhe bokukhuphisana.
Iimbaleki zamathambo sprint ngelixa betyhala izileyi zabo zeeponti ezingama-70 malunga ne-40 ukuya kwi-50 yeemitha ukuya encotsheni yekhosi, engumkhondo onomkhenkce. Emva koko iimbaleki kufuneka zipakishe imizimba yazo (intloko-kuqala) ngokuqinileyo nangokufanelekileyo kwi-sled, ngokuqhelekileyo zigcina ibunzi labo kufutshane nomkhenkce namehlo phezulu ukuze bazi apho baya khona.
Ngokungafani ne-bobsleds, i-skeleton sleds ayinayo indlela yokulawula, oku kuthetha ukuba abadlali kufuneka balungise amadolo kunye namagxa ukuze balawule i-sled. Izileyi zihamba ngesantya esiphakathi kwe-75 kunye ne-85 yeemayile ngeyure.
Ngumdlalo ogqithisileyo ofuna ukuchaneka okuninzi, amandla kunye nesantya.
UWatson ungene kumdyarho wamathambo kuba, kunye ne-bob sledding, yayikuphela komdlalo weOlimpiki owawuvumela ukuzama. Kodwa nasemva kokuchitha iminyaka emithathu yoqeqesho neQela lase-USA, yayingeyondlela yokuphila emnandi.
Kuxabisa phantse i-100,000 yeedola ukukhuphisana ngexesha lonyaka, utshilo uWatson. Kuba nzima kakhulu. Kwakukho iintsuku endandingenayo indawo yokulala, kwakufuneka ndithengise imoto yam ukuze nditye imali.
Kwakungonelanga ukunqanda uWatson ekubeni aqhubeke. Emva kokubeka elinye iqela kwisekethe yaseMntla Melika, iJamaica - apho uWatson enabemi ababini - wamqesha ukuba abe yimbaleki yabo yokuqala yamathambo.
Yayiyinto yonke endandinethemba lokuba iya kuba yiyo.
Izinto zaba ngcono nangakumbi: uWatson wamenywa ukuba akhuphisane kwiiOlimpiki zaseBusika zowama-2018 egameni leJamaica, nto leyo eyamenza ukuba abe ngumdlali weqonga. Imbaleki yokuqala ukumela isizwe saseCaribbean kwezemidlalo.
Eyona mvakalelo ilungileyo yakha yaba kukulandelayo emgceni, ukuva ilizwe lakho libizwa, kwaye emva koko uphume phambi kwakhe wonke umntu, utshilo uWatson. Awukwazi nokuyibeka ngamazwi.
UWatson ugqibile ukungena Indawo ye-29 kwi-heats nganye yokuqala emithathu kwaye yafikelela kwisantya esiphezulu se-75.4 yeekhilomitha ngeyure. Ixesha lakhe lilonke limenze wangamfanelanga kugqatso lokugqibela.
Ukuqonda indlela olukhuphisana ngayo kunye nokuchaneka komdyarho wamathambo: Ixesha likaWatson laliyimizuzwana eli-10 kuphela emva koMzantsi Korea. Yun Sung bin , owaphumelela imbasa yegolide.
UWatson akakagqibi. Ukwenza imbali kanye njengommeli wokuqala waseJamaican kugqatso lwamathambo kwakunganelanga. Njengomntu onethemba leOlimpiki zasebusika zika-2022, ufuna ukwenza uphawu lwakhe kwakhona.
Ngoku emva kokukhuphisana kunye nokumela iJamaica kwi-Olimpiki, ndimele ilizwe likamama wasePuerto Rico ukuba ndibe ngumdlali wokuqala we-Olympic skeleton kunye namathambo ePuerto Rico ngokunjalo, uWatson uthe. Ukufumana ithuba lokumela omabini amacala obuzwe bam kwelona qonga likhulu leembaleki yinjongo entsha kum.
Ukuba uyonwabele eli nqaku, unokuphinda ufune ukujonga le spearfisher ehamba kude kakhulu ukubamba ukutya kwayo .
