Eminyakeni eyandulela ama-Olimpiki asehlobo ka-2012 nango-2016 - nangesikhathi semidlalo uqobo - umvocavoci womzimba u-Aly Raisman ukhumbula ukuchitha izinsuku zakhe enza izinto ezintathu nje: ukudla, ukulala nokuziqeqesha. "Kwakukhathaza ngempela, futhi kwakunjengokuthi yonke into izungezwe i-gymnastics," etshela Umumo. "Kunengcindezi enkulu, futhi ngikhumbula nje nginokukhathazeka ngaso sonke isikhathi."

Uhlobo oluqinile lwalungenazo izinsuku zokuphumula, futhi. Kuyo yonke le Midlalo, uRaisman uthi yena nozakwabo bebejwayele ukuzijwayeza kabili ngosuku, futhi kwesinye isikhathi, bebezokwenza umkhuba owodwa nje - obuthathwa njengowokuchitha isikhathi. I-Cat nap bekuyithuluzi eliyinhloko lika-Raisman lokutakula, kodwa ukuzinika yonke i-R&R ayeyidinga phakathi kwemincintiswano yokubuyela emuva nezinqubo kwakungelula. "Uma ukhathele [ngokomzimba], kwesinye isikhathi ukhathala nasemqondweni," usho kanje. "Awuzethembi kangako, futhi awuzizwa njengawe ngempela. Ngicabanga ukuthi enye yezinto okungakhulunywa ngayo kakhulu ukuthi enye yezingxenye ezinzima kakhulu ukuzizwa uphumule futhi ulungele umncintiswano."

Okwengeza inkinga ukuthi uRaiman wayengenazo izinsiza ezanele zokunakekela impilo yakhe yengqondo, futhi akazange aqaphele ukuthi wayedonsa kanzima kangakanani nakho, uyachaza. "Bengizothola ukwelashwa okuhlukile ngemuva kokuzivocavoca, kodwa bengingaqondi ukuthi ngidinga ukunakekela ingxenye engokwengqondo - hhayi nje ukubamba unyawo uma ngilimele eqakaleni," kusho owathola izindondo ama-Olympic izikhathi eziyisithupha. "Ngicabanga ukuthi njengoba abasubathi abaningi bekhuluma, kulapho kuzokwakha khona amathuba okuthi nabanye abasubathi baxhaswe [ngokwengqondo], kodwa empeleni bekungekho okuningi kithi ... ngifisa sengathi ngabe nginamathuluzi amaningi enginawo manje. " (Omunye umsubathi okwamanje ozwakalisa ukukhathazeka kwakhe: uNaomi Osaka.)

Noma ukuphela kweMidlalo kuhlala kufika ngokukhululeka okukhulu kanye nesikhathi sokuphumula, u-Raisman, owathatha umhlalaphansi ngokusemthethweni ku-gymnastics ngo-2020, uthi ukutubeka kwakhe akukapheli ngokuphelele. “Ngisazizwa sengathi selokhu ngaqala ukuphinde ngiziqeqeshele ama-Olympics ngo-2016, umzimba wami awukaze uzizwe ngendlela efanayo,” usho kanje."Ngicabanga ukuthi bengimatasa kakhulu - futhi bekunezinye izinto eziningi ngaphandle kwenani loqeqesho ebengilwenza - ngakho-ke manje sengizama nje ukuzinika isikhathi sokululama nokuphumula. Impela inqubo leyo." (Ngo-2017, u-Raisman nabanye abavocavoca beza ngaphambili beveza ukuthi bahlukunyezwe ngokocansi udokotela wangaphambili weqembu le-USA Gymnastics u-Larry Nassar.)

Kulezi zinsuku, u-Raisman uthatha kalula phambili kokuqina, egxila ekunwebeni, ethatha uhambo lokushona kwelanga, nasezikhathini ezingandile yenaukhetha ukujima, enze ama-Pilates - ukujika okungu-180-degree kusuka enkambisweni ekhathazayo yomsebenzi wakhe wokuzivocavoca. “Angikwazi ukwenza [i-Pilates] nsuku zonke, ngendlela engingathanda ngayo, ngenxa yokuthi anginawo amandla okukwenza,” usho kanje. "Kodwa i-Pilates ingisize ngempela ngokusebenza kwami ​​​​nangokwengqondo, futhi, ngoba ngithanda indlela engingagxila ngayo ezingxenyeni ezahlukene zomzimba wami, futhi ingisiza ngizizwe nginamandla futhi ngizethemba."

Noma uRaisman engakutholanga konke ukwesekwa abekudinga kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe wokuzivocavoca, uyaqiniseka ukuthi isizukulwane esilandelayo siyakwenza. Kuleli hlobo usebenza njengoGymnastics Program Designer eWoodward Camp, lapho eqeqesha khona abasubathi abasha futhi esiza ukucabanga ngohlelo lokuzivocavoca. "Kube mnandi kakhulu futhi kumangalisa ukukwazi ukuxhumana nezingane - ezinye zazo zingikhumbuza ngami ngisemncane," kusho uRaisman. Ngaphandle kwezemidlalo, u-Raisman uphinde ahlanganyele no-Olay, okhuthaza amantombazane e-1,000 ukuhlola imisebenzi ye-STEM ne-Million Women Mentors, ukusabalalisa izwi ngokubaluleka kokuqeqeshwa.

Futhi ku-ajenda kaRaisman: Ukuthola ukuthi ungubani ngaphandle kwama-gymnastics, ukuthi angaba kanjani yinguqulo yakhe engcono kakhulu, kanye nemikhuba eqondile ezomnika amandla nokucindezela akudingayo, uyachaza. I-Olympian isasebenza ngemibuzo emibili yokuqala ekhona, kepha kuze kube manje, ukucisha i-TV nokufunda ebhavini ngaphambi kokulala, ukusika ushukela ekudleni kwakhe, nokuchitha isikhathi nomntwana wakhe uMylo benze iqhinga lokugcina . "Ngicabanga ukuthi lapho ngizizwa ngikhululeke kakhudlwana, ngiba ngokwengeziwe nami, ngakho-ke ngizama nje ukuthola ukuthi ngifika kanjani lapho ngokuvumelana ngokwengeziwe."
