Emidlalweni efana nokubhukuda, engadumile kubabukeli, kungaba nzima nakakhulu. Kodwa izolo, u-Alia Atkinson waseJamaica oneminyaka engama-25 ube ngowesifazane wokuqala omnyama ukunqoba isicoco somhlaba ngokubhukuda kumaFINA World Short Course Championships eDoha, eQatar futhi abantu bayakuqaphela lokhu.

U-Atkinson uqede i-100m breaststroke ngesikhathi semizuzu engu-1 nemizuzwana engu-02.36, okuyishumi nje lesibili lomzuzwana ngaphambi kukaRuta Meilutyt, owayeyena ophethe irekhodi lomhlaba kulo mjaho.
