Kwababili kwabesifazane ababi kakhulu abagijimi bezihlalo ezinamasondo, u-Tatyana McFadden no-Arielle Rausin, ukushaya ithrekhi kungaphezu kokuthola izindondo. Laba badlali abasezingeni eliphakeme (abathi, iqiniso elijabulisayo: abaqeqeshwe ndawonye e-University of Illinois) bagxile kakhulu ekunikezeni abagijimi ukufinyelela kanye nethuba lokuthola umdlalo oshintshe izimpilo zabo zombili, ngaphandle kwezithiyo eziningi.

Ukuba nokukhubazeka yisimo sabambalwa emidlalweni eminingi futhi ukuhamba ngesihlalo sabakhubazekile akufani. Kunezithiyo eziningi zokungena: Kungaba nzima ukuhlela imiphakathi nokuthola imicimbi esekela lo mdlalo, futhi noma wenza kanjalo, kuzokubiza njengoba izihlalo zabakhubazekile eziningi zomjaho zingaphezu kuka-$3,000.

Noma kunjalo, laba besifazane ababili abakholekayo bathole ukugijima okuguqukayo kube okuguqula impilo. Baye bafakazela ukuthi abasubathi bawo wonke amakhono bangazuza kulo mdlalo futhi bazakhele ukuqina ngokomzimba nangokomzwelo endleleni...ngisho nalapho kungekho owayecabanga ukuthi angakwenza.

Nakhu ukuthi bayephule kanjani imithetho futhi bathola amandla abo njengabesifazane nabadlali.

Owesifazane Wensimbi Womjaho Wesihlalo Esinamasondo

Kungenzeka ulizwile igama likaTatyana McFadden oneminyaka engama-29 ngenyanga edlule lapho umdlali weParalympian ephula i-tape kwi-NYRR United Airlines NYC Half Marathon, enezela ohlwini lwakhe oluhle lokuwina. Kuze kube manje, usewine i-New York City Marathon izikhathi ezinhlanu, izindondo zegolide eziyisikhombisa ku-Paralympic Games for Team USA, kanye nezindondo zegolide eziyi-13 ku-IPC World Championship. I-ICYDK, lokho kuwina kakhulu emjahweni omkhulu kunanoma yimuphi omunye umuntu ancintisana naye.

Uhambo lwakhe lokuya endaweni yesikhulumi, nokho, lwaqala ngaphambi kwe-hardware enkulu kanye nakanjani ayizange ifake izihlalo zemijaho yobuchwepheshe obuphezulu noma ukuqeqeshwa okukhethekile.

UMcFadden (owazalwa enespina bifida, emkhubaza kusukela okhalweni kwehle) wachitha iminyaka yokuqala yokuphila kwakhe ekhaya lezintandane eSt. Petersburg, eRussia. Uthi: “Ngangingenaso isihlalo esinamasondo. "Bengingazi nokuthi ikhona. Ngishelele phansi phansi noma ngihamba ngezandla zami."

Wamukelwa ngabashadikazi baseMelika eneminyaka eyisithupha, uMcFadden waqala impilo yakhe entsha ezifundazweni enezinkinga ezinkulu zempilo okuwukuthi imilenze yakhe yayingasebenzi kahle, okwaholela ekuhlinzweni okuningana.

Nakuba ayengazi ngaleso sikhathi, lokhu kwaba inguquko enkulu. Ngemuva kokululama, wazibandakanya kwezemidlalo futhi wenza konke abengakwenza: ukubhukuda, basketball, ice hockey, ukubiya… ekugcineni umjaho wesihlalo sabakhubazekile, uyachaza. Uthi yena nomndeni wakhe babone ukusebenza kanzima njengesango lokuvuselela impilo yakhe.

Uthi: “Esikoleni samabanga aphezulu, ngabona ukuthi ngithola impilo yami nokuzimela [ngemidlalo]. "Ngangikwazi ukushova isihlalo sami esinamasondo ngingedwa futhi ngangiphila impilo ezimele, enempilo. Kungaleso sikhathi kuphela lapho engangikwazi khona ukuba nezinhloso namaphupho." Kodwa kwakungelula ngaso sonke isikhathi kuye. Wayevame ukucelwa ukuthi angancintisani emijahweni yama-track ukuze isihlalo sakhe sabakhubazekile singabi yingozi kubagijimi abanamandla.

Kwaze kwaba ngemuva kwesikole lapho uMcFadden angacabanga ngomthelela wezemidlalo kumfanekiso wakhe uqobo namandla akhe. Wayefuna ukuqinisekisa ukuthi wonke umfundi unethuba elifanayo lokuvelela kwezemidlalo. Kanjalo, waba yingxenye yecala elagcina liholele ekuphasisweni kwesenzo eMaryland esanikeza abafundi abakhubazekile ithuba lokungenela umqhudelwano we-interscholastic Athletics.

"Sivele sicabange ngalokho umuntu ngeke ngikwazi yenza, "esho." Akukhathalekile ukuthi ukwenze kanjani, sonke siphumile ukuyogijima. Ezemidlalo ziyindlela engcono kakhulu yokulwela ukumela nokuhlanganisa wonke umuntu,”

UMcFadden uqhubeke nokufunda e-University of Illinois ngomfundaze we-basketball oguqukayo, kepha ekugcineni wakunikeza lokho ukugxila ekusebenzeni ngokugcwele. Waba umsubathi webanga elifushane oqinile futhi umqeqeshi wakhe waphonselwa inselelo yokuzama umjaho webanga elide. Wenza kanjalo, futhi sekuwumlando oqopha umlando kusukela lapho.

"Ngangigxile kakhulu kuma-marathoni lapho, ngaleso sikhathi, ngangenza imitsi engu-100-200m," esho. "Kodwa ngikwenzile. Kuyamangaza ukuthi singayiguqula kanjani imizimba yethu."

I-Hot New Up-and-Comer entsha

Umgijimi wesihlalo esinamasondo u-Arielle Rausin ube nobunzima obufanayo bokuthola ukufinyelela kwezemidlalo eziguquguqukayo. Ukhubazekile eneminyaka eyi-10 engozini yemoto, waqala ukuncintisana kuma-5Ks nase-cross-country egijima nozakwabo afunda nabo esihlalweni sabakhubazekile sansuku zonke (aka, engakhululekile neze futhi esebenza kahle.)

Kodwa ukungaphatheki kahle okudlulele kokusebenzisa isitulo esingajahile akukwazanga ukuncintisana nokunikwa amandla ayekuzwa egijima, futhi abaqeqeshi abambalwa bejimu abakhuthazayo basize ukukhombisa u-Rausin ukuthi angaqhudelana-futhi awine.

“Ukukhula, uma usesihlalweni uthola usizo lokungena nokuphuma embhedeni, izimoto, noma yikuphi, futhi engakuqaphela ngokushesha ukuthi ngiba namandla,” usho kanje. "Ukugijima kunginikeze umqondo wokuthi mina can ukufeza izinto nokufeza izinhloso namaphupho ami. "(Nakhu abantu abangakwazi ngokuhlala uphilile esihlalweni esinamasondo.)

Ngesikhathi sokuqala uRausin ebona omunye umgibeli wesihlalo sabakhubazekile wayeneminyaka engu-16 ngesikhathi se-15K nobaba wakhe eTampa. Lapho, wahlangana nomqeqeshi wokugijima oguquguqukayo we-University of Illinois owamtshela ukuthi uma amukelwe esikoleni, uzoba nendawo eqenjini lakhe. Yilokho kuphela okuyisikhuthazo ayesidinga ukuze aziphoqe esikoleni.

Namuhla ugibela amamayela aphakeme angu-100-120 ngeviki elungiselela isizini ye-spring marathon, futhi ungamthola e-Australian merino wool, njengoba ekholelwa ngokuqinile emakhonweni awo okufakazela ukunuka nokusimama. Kulo nyaka kuphela, unezinhlelo zokugijima ama-marathoni ayisithupha kuya kwayishumi, kufaka phakathi iBoston Marathon njengomgijimi weBoston Elite ka-2019. Ubuye futhi wabona ukuthi uzokwazi yini ukuncintisana kuma-Paralympic Games ka-2020 eTokyo.

Sikhuthazana

Selokhu azikhulule emjahweni wesigamu we-NYC eceleni kweMcFadden ngoMashi, uRausin ugxile kwelaser kwiBoston Marathon ngenyanga ezayo. Umgomo wakhe ukubeka nje phezulu kunalokho akwenza ngonyaka odlule (wayeneminyaka engu-5), futhi une-ace ekhuthazayo azoyikhipha lapho amagquma eba nzima: UTatyana McFadden.

"Angikaze ngihlangane nowesifazane onamandla njengoTatyana," kusho uRausin. "Ngimbona ngeso lengqondo ngenkathi ngiqwala amagquma e-Boston noma amabhuloho eNew York. Istroke yakhe iyamangalisa." Ngokwakhe, uMcFadden uthi bekumangalisa ukubuka uRausin eguquka futhi abone ukuthi usheshe kangakanani. "Wenza izinto ezinhle kulo mdlalo," esho.

Futhi akahambisi nje umdlalo phambili ngokwenza kwakhe ngokomzimba; URausin ungcolisa izandla zakhe enza imishini engcono ukuze abagijimi besihlalo sabakhubazekile bakwazi ukwenza kahle kakhulu. Ngemuva kokuthatha ikilasi lokuphrinta le-3D ekolishi, uRausin wakhuthazeka ukuthi aklame igilavu ​​yezihlalo zabakhubazekile futhi selokhu waqala inkampani yakhe Ingenium Manufacturing.

Bobabili u-Rausin noMcFadden bathi ugqozi lwabo luvela ekuboneni ukuthi bangaphusha kude kangakanani ngabodwana, kodwa lokho akubathinti imizamo yabo yokuhlinzeka ngamathuba engeziwe esizukulwaneni esilandelayo sabagijimi bezihlalo ezinamasondo.

“Amantombazane amancane yonke indawo kufanele akwazi ukuncintisana futhi athole amakhono amasha,” kusho uRausin. "Ukugijima kukunika amandla amakhulu futhi kukunikeza umuzwa wokuthi ungenza noma yini."
