Njengenjwayelo, ama-Olympics abegcwele ukunqoba okuthinta inhliziyo nokudumazeka okukhulu (sibheke wena, Ryan Lochte). Kepha akukho okusenze sazizwa sizizwa njengabaphikisi ababili bamathrekhi abasizanayo ukweqa umugqa wokuqeda phakathi nomjaho wabesifazane wamamitha ayi-5 000.

Uma kwenzeka uyigeja, u-Abby D'Agostino weThimba USA noNikki Hamblin waseNew Zealand bashayisane nemijondolo emine nengxenye esele kulo mjaho kanti bobabili abagijimi bagcine ngokulala emzileni. Esikhundleni sokusheshisa imbangi yakhe ewile, u-D'Agostino wema ukuze asize uHamblin futhi amjabulise. Khona-ke, umzuzwana nje, ubuhlungu bokulimala kwangaphambilini bashaya u-D'Agostino, futhi wawa okwesibili. Ngalesi sikhathi, kwakunguHamblin owamisa umjaho wakhe ukuze athathe omunye umgijimi. Laba bagijimi ababili, ababengakaze bahlangane ngaphambili, bangana entanjeni futhi bashiya umhlaba wonke bekhihla isililo ngesimo sabo sengqondo sokunqoba akuyona yonke into. (Psst ... Nayi Izikhathi Ezikhuthazayo Kakhulu Zemidlalo Yama-Olimpiki Ka-2016 EseRio.)

Kodwa akusithina sodwa esihlatshwe umxhwele ukubonakaliswa kwabo okumangalisayo kwezemidlalo. Ngaphambi kokuphela kwale Midlalo, bobabili uHamblin no-D'Agostino bathole umklomelo we-Fair Play ovela kwi-International Olympic Committee (IOC) kanye ne-International Fair Play Committee. Umklomelo we-Fair Play, okuyindathane yokuthola okunzima ukwedlula iGolide, uyawubona umoya wokuzidela nokuba yisibonelo kwezemidlalo kubadlali bama-Olimpiki. Njengowukuphela komklomelo walolu hlobo etafuleni lama-Olimpiki, kuyilungelo elikhulu ukuthola. I-IOC ibuye inikeze indondo kaPierre de Coubertin-enikezwe izikhathi eziyi-17 kuphela emlandweni-ukukhombisa ngenhla nangaphezulu kwezemidlalo, kanti nezikhungo eziningana zezindaba zibika ukuthi u-D'Agostino noHamblin nabo bangathola le ndondo.

"Ngicabanga ukuthi ikhetheke kakhulu ku-Abbey kanye nami. Angicabangi ukuthi phakathi kwethu oke wavuka wacabanga ukuthi lokho kuzoba usuku lwethu, noma umjaho wethu, noma iMidlalo yethu yama-Olympic," kusho uHamblin esitatimendeni. I-IOC. "Sobabili singabantu esincintisana nabo ngokuqinile futhi besifuna ukuphuma lapho senze konke okusemandleni ethu kuthrekhi." Kuphephile ukusho ukuthi izenzo zika-Hamblin no-D'Agostino zisikhuthaze sonke ukuthi silethe konke okusemandleni ethu etafuleni, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi siyawuthola yini umklomelo ngakho noma cha.
