U-Liukin wabelane ukuthi uyaqonda ukuthi uhlobo lomzimba wakhe lungabonakala kanjani "ludala" kwabanye, ikakhulukazi abantu abanenkinga yokudla. Noma kunjalo, lokho akumele kusho ukuthi kufanele afihle ukuthi ubukeka kanjani ngokwemvelo, uqhubeke. "Ngiyaxolisa uma umzimba wami ubangela kuwe," ubhale kanje. "Angikholelwa ukuthi kufanele ngikufihle ngoba ngisaba ukucasula. Ngikhuthaza okwangempela, ngiphromotha eluhlaza, futhi ngikhuthaza iqiniso." (ULukin ungomunye wama-Olympian amaningi aziqhenyayo ukukutshela ukuthi kungani bethanda imizimba yabo.)

Ngokudabukisayo, lesi akukhona okokuqala uLiukin kufanele avale ama-troll ngokukhuluma izinto ezinenzondo ngomzimba wakhe. Ngemva kokuyeka umsebenzi wokuzivocavoca ngo-2012, wazuza amakhilogremu angu-25 futhi wahlaselwa ngokushesha ngamazwana ambiza ngokuthi "isidudla." Ngemuva kwalokho, ngemuva kweminyaka embalwa, waqala ukuthola imiyalezo eyayimhlazisa ngokuthi "uzacile kakhulu" futhi "akanampilo."

Manje, yonke le minyaka kamuva, uLiukin usalokhu elwa le mpi efanayo. “Lona MINA,” eqhubeka nokubhala ekhasini lakhe le-Instagram. "Lokhu kungumzimba wami. Ngenkathi ngihlale ngizacile, angikaze ngihlale nginamandla. Ngiyaziqhenya ngokusho ukuthi senginamandla ngempela manje kunakuqala." (Udinga ubufakazi?

NjengoLiukin, abazivocavoci bama-Olimpiki babe nomlando wokukhethelwa ngaphandle imizimba yabo. Ungase ukhumbule emuva ngo-2016, uSimone Biles wadubula wabiza abakwaTroll ababembiza ngokuthi "mubi" ngemuva kokuthi efake isithombe sakhe ku-getup omuhle ngenkathi eseholidini. "Ningahlulela umzimba wami ngakho konke enikufunayo, kodwa ekugcineni kosuku ngumzimba WAMI," wabhala kuTwitter ngaleso sikhathi. "Ngiyayithanda futhi ngikhululekile esikhunjeni sami."

Kwesinye isigameko esalandela ama-Olimpiki aseRio ngo-2016, uBiles nozakwabo, u-Aly Raisman noMadison Kocian bonke bahlazekile ngemisipha yabo ngemuva kokuthi uBiles efake isithombe sabo begqoke amabhikini ebhishi. Kusukela lapho, u-Raisman uqhubeke waba ngummeli onentshisekelo yokuqina komzimba futhi usejoyine imikhiqizo eqhubekayo efana ne-Aerie ukukhuthaza abesifazane ukuthi bazizwe bekhululekile esikhunjeni sabo.

Ngokubambisana, lezi zintokazi ze-badass zikhombisile ukuthi kubaluleke kangakanani ukuzimela nokuqeda ukuhlazeka komzimba. "Wonke umzimba kumele uthandwe - futhi kungani umzimba wami ungafanele uwele kulokho, nawo?" U-Liukin wabhala eposini lakhe ngaphambi kokukhuluma ne-troll yakhe ngokuqondile.

"Ngiyaxolisa nganoma yini obhekene nayo ekwenze wacabanga ukuthi ukungibhalela le nothi bekungalungile nganoma iyiphi indlela," esho ehlanganyela. "Ngiyethemba uzolulama ekuhlukumezeni kwakho njengoba nami ngiphilise okwami ​​futhi ngiqhubeka."
