-Delile
Emasontweni ambalwa edlule, abesifazane abanekhono beTeam USA bakhombise ukuba yizindlovukazi zazo zonke izinto zezemidlalo, bathatha izindondo eziningi kuma-Olimpiki aseRio ka-2016. Ngaphandle kwezingqinamba ababhekane nazo kuyo yonke le midlalo - kusuka ekusakazweni kwabezindaba zocansi kuya ekuhlukunyezweni kwezokuxhumana- lawa makhosikazi awazange avumele lutho lususe empumelelweni abayisebenzele kanzima.
Ithimba lase-USA lawulawula ngokuphelele ama-Olimpiki ngokushaya amagoli wonke, nabesilisa nabesifazane bathola izindondo ezihlanganisiwe eziyi-121. Uma kwenzeka ubala (ngoba ake sibhekane nakho, sonke siyikho) okungaphezu kwanoma yiliphi elinye izwe. Ebalweni sezindondo ezingu-61, abesilisa bagoduke nezingu-55.
Izindondo zegolide ezingamashumi amabili nesikhombisa kwezingu-46 zaseMelika nazo zigunyaziwe kwabesifazane –– ngokubambisana banikeza izintokazi izindondo zegolide eziningi kunanoma yiliphi elinye izwe ngaphandle kweGreat Britain. Manje lokho kuyahlaba umxhwele.
Ungamangala kakhulu ukuthola ukuthi akusikho okokuqala abesifazane baseMelika bedlula amalungu eqembu labo besilisa kuma-Olimpiki. Benze umonakalo omkhulu emidlalweni yaseLondon ngo-2012 futhi, bathola izindondo ezingama-58 sezizonke, uma kuqhathaniswa nezingama-45 ezitholwe ngozakwabo besilisa.
Njengoba nje sifisa ukuthi impumelelo yalo nyaka ibe ngenxa ye- #GirlPower, kunezinye izizathu ezimbalwa ezenze ukuthi abesifazane baseMelika benze kahle kangaka eRio. Okokuqala, lokhu kungokokuqala emlandweni ukuthi iTeam USA ibe nabesifazane abaningi abaqhudelana kunabesilisa. Lokho isilinganiso uqobo kunikeze abesifazane isibhamu esiteji.
Okunye ukuthi imidlalo emisha yabesifazane ingezwe ohlwini luka-2016. Ibhola lombhoxo labesifazane ligcine liqalile ukubonakala kuma-Olympics kulo nyaka, kanjalo negalofu labesifazane. I-NPR iphinde yaveza ukuthi izintokazi zeThimba laseMelika zizuze abasubathi abavelele abafana noSimone Biles, Katie Ledecky no-Allyson Felix abawine izindondo eziyi-13 zihlangene. Ingasaphathwa eye-U.S. ama-track and field kanye namaqembu e-basketball nawo azibekela amarekhodi awo.
Sekukonke, akunakuphikwa ukuthi abesifazane beThimba le-USA bayibulala ngokuphelele eRio, futhi ukumane ubhale lokho abakufezile akubenzi ubulungiswa. Kuyamangaza ukubona laba besifazane abagqugquzelayo ekugcineni bethola ukuqashelwa okubafanele.
