Kwababini kwezona mbaleki zikhohlakeleyo zesitulo esinamavili, uTatyana McFadden kunye no-Arielle Rausin, ukubetha umzila kungaphezu kokufumana iindebe. Ezi mbaleki zikumgangatho ophakamileyo (abathi, into eyonwabisayo: baqeqeshwe kunye kwiYunivesithi yaseIllinois) bajolise kwilaser ekunikezeni iimbaleki ukufikelela kunye nethuba lokufumana umdlalo otshintshe ubomi babo bobabini, ngaphandle kwemiqobo emininzi.

Ukuba nokukhubazeka yimeko encinci kwimidlalo emininzi kwaye ukuhamba ngesitulo esinamavili akufani. Zininzi izithintelo ekungeneni: Kunokuba nzima ukuhlela uluntu kunye nokufumana iminyhadala exhasa ezemidlalo, kwaye nokuba uyayenza, iyakubiza njengoko uninzi lwezihlalo ezinamavili zibaleka ngaphezulu kwe- $ 3,000.

Sekunjalo, aba bafazi babini bamangalisayo bafumanisa ukuba ukubaleka okuguquguqukayo kunokutshintsha ubomi. Baye babonisa ukuba iimbaleki zazo zonke izakhono zinokuzuza kulo mdlalo kwaye bazakhele i-grit yabo ngokomzimba nangokweemvakalelo endleleni ... nangona kungekho mntu wayecinga ukuba angayenza.

Nantsi indlela abayaphule ngayo imigaqo kwaye bafumana amandla abo njengabafazi kunye neembaleki.

Umfazi wentsimbi woMdyarho wamaWheelchair

Usenokuba uvile igama likaTatyana McFadden oneminyaka engama-29 kwinyanga ephelileyo xa iParalympian yaphula iteyiphu kwi-NYRR United Airlines NYC Half Marathon, esongeza kuluhlu lwakhe olunomtsalane lokuphumelela. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, uphumelele iMarathon yesiXeko saseNew York amatyeli amahlanu, iimedali ezisixhenxe zegolide kwimidlalo yeParalympic yeQela laseMelika, kunye neembasa zegolide ezili-13 kwi-IPC World Championship. I-ICYDK, yeyona nto iphumeleleyo kugqatso olukhulu kunaye nawuphi na omnye umntu okhuphisana naye.

Uhambo lwakhe oluya eqongeni, nangona kunjalo, lwaqala ngaphambi kwentsimbi enobunzima kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo khange ibandakanye izitulo zomdyarho wobugcisa obuphezulu okanye uqeqesho olukhethekileyo.

UMcFadden (owazalwa enespina bifida, emkhubaza esinqeni ezantsi) wachitha iminyaka yokuqala yobomi bakhe kwikhaya leenkedama eSt. Petersburg, eRashiya. Uthi: "Andinaso isitulo esinamavili," utshilo. "Bendingazi nokuba ikhona. Ndityibilikise emgangathweni okanye ndahamba ngezandla zam."

Wamkelwa sisibini saseMelika eneminyaka emithandathu ubudala, uMcFadden waqala ubomi bakhe obutsha emadodeni eneengxaki ezinkulu zempilo ngenxa yokuba imilenze yakhe yayibuhlungu, nto leyo eyakhokelela kutyando oluninzi.

Nangona wayengazi ngelo xesha, olu yayilutshintsho olukhulu. Emva kokuchacha, uye wazibandakanya nezemidlalo kwaye wenza konke anako: ukuqubha, ibhola yomnyazi, ihoki yomkhenkce, ukubiyela…emva koko ekugqibeleni umdyarho wesitulo esinamavili, uyacacisa. Uthi yena nosapho lwakhe babone ukuba kuyasebenza njengendlela yokuvuselela impilo yakhe.

Uthi: “Kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo, ndabona ukuba ndifumana impilo nokuzimela geqe [ngemidlalo]. "Ndandikwazi ukutyhala isitulo sam esinamavili ndedwa kwaye ndandiphila ubomi obuzimeleyo, obunempilo. Kungoko ndandinokuthi ndibe neenjongo kunye namaphupha." Kodwa kwakungasoloko kulula kuye. Wayehlala ebuzwa ukuba angakhuphisani kwimidyarho ukuze isitulo sakhe esinamavili singabi yingozi kwiimbaleki ezinamandla.

Zange kube kusemva kokuphuma kwesikolo apho uMcFadden wayenokubonakalisa ifuthe lezemidlalo kumfanekiso wakhe kunye namandla akhe. Wayefuna ukuqinisekisa ukuba wonke umfundi unethuba elifanayo lokugqwesa kwezemidlalo. Ngenxa yoko, waba yinxalenye yetyala elathi ekugqibeleni lakhokelela ekuwisweni kwesenzo eMaryland esanika abafundi abakhubazekileyo ithuba lokukhuphisana kwiimbaleki ze-interscholastic.

"Ngokuzenzekelayo sicinga ngento umntu ngekhe yenza, utshilo. "Ayinamsebenzi nendlela oyenza ngayo, sonke siphumile ukubaleka. Imidlalo yeyona ndlela ilungileyo yokunyanzela ubhengezo nokuzisa wonke umntu kunye, "

UMcFadden uqhubeke nokuya kwiDyunivesithi yaseIllinois kwimfundo yokufunda ngebhasikithi, kodwa ekugqibeleni wayinika ukuba ijolise ekusebenzeni ngokusisigxina. Waba yimbaleki eqinileyo kumgama omfutshane kwaye wacelwa umngeni ngumqeqeshi wakhe ukuba azame umdyarho. Wenjenjalo ke, kwaye ibiyimbali yokuseta irekhodi ukusukela ngoko.

“Ndenze ingqwalasela emandla kumdyarho weembaleki xa, ngelo xesha, ndandisenza i-100-200m ibaleka,” utshilo. "Kodwa ndiyenzile. Iyamangalisa indlela esinokuyiguqula ngayo imizimba yethu."

I-Hot New Up-and-Comer

Imbaleki yesihlalo sabakhubazekile iArielle Rausin ibinobunzima obufanayo ekufumaneni ukufikelela kwimidlalo eguqukayo. Ukhubazekile eneminyaka eyi-10 kwingozi yemoto, waqala ukukhuphisana kwii-5Ks kunye nokunqumla ilizwe ebaleka kunye nabafundi afunda nabo abanobuchule kwisitulo esinamavili semihla ngemihla (aka, akakhululekanga kwaye kude nokusebenza kakuhle.)

Kodwa ukungakhululeki okugqithisileyo kokusebenzisa isitulo esingengomdyarho akukwazanga ukukhuphisana nokuxhotyiswa ayeziva ukuba uyabaleka, kwaye abaqeqeshi abambalwa abakhuthazayo banceda ukubonisa uRausin ukuba angakhuphisana-kwaye aphumelele.

Ukukhula, xa uhleli esitulweni, ufumana uncedo lokungena nokungena ebhedini, ezimotweni, naphina, kwaye into endayiqaphela kwangoko kukuba ndomelela, utshilo. "Ukugijima kwandinika ingcamango yokuba mna unako fezekisa izinto kwaye ndifezekise iinjongo kunye namaphupha am." (Nantsi into abantu abangayaziyo malunga nokuhlala kufanelekile kwisitulo esinamavili.)

Ngethuba lokuqala uRausin wabona omnye umqhubi we-wheelchair wayeneminyaka eyi-16 ngexesha le-15K kunye noyise eTampa. Apho, wadibana nomqeqeshi obalekayo weYunivesithi yaseIllinois owamxelela ukuba wamkelwe esikolweni, uya kuba nendawo kwiqela lakhe. Yayiyiloo nto kuphela intshukumisa awayeyidinga ukuze azinyanzele esikolweni.

Namhlanje ulogisha iimayile eziphakamileyo eziyi-100-120 ngeveki elungiselela ixesha logqatso lwentlakohlaza, kwaye unokumfumana eAustralian merino wool, njengoko ekholelwa ngokuqinileyo kwizakhono zabo ezinukayo kunye nozinzo. Kulo nyaka uwodwa, unezicwangciso zokubaleka imidyarho emithandathu ukuya kwali-10, kubandakanya noMbaleko weBoston njengembaleki yeBoston Elite yowama-2019. Ukwanazo izinto azimiseleyo zokukhuphisana kwiMidlalo yeParalympic yowama-2020 eTokyo.

Ukukhuthazana

Ukusukela ukukhululeka kwi-NYC yesiqingatha semarathon ecaleni kweMcFadden ngo-Matshi, uRausin ujolise kwilaser kwi-Boston Marathon kwinyanga ezayo. Injongo yakhe kukubeka nje phezulu kunonyaka ophelileyo (wayekwi-5th), kwaye une-ace ekhuthazayo yokukhupha xa iinduli ziba nzima: UTatyana McFadden.

"Andizange ndadibana nomfazi onamandla njengoTatyana," utshilo uRausin. "Ndimbona njengombono wakhe ngelixa ndinyuka iinduli eBoston okanye kwiibhulorho eNew York. Kwelakhe icala, uMcFadden uthi kuyamangalisa ukubukela uRausin etshintsha kwaye abone ukuba ukhawuleze njani. "Wenza izinto ezintle kwezemidlalo," utshilo.

Kwaye akahambisi nje umdlalo phambili ngemidlalo yakhe yomzimba; URausin ufumana ukungcola kwezandla zakhe esenza izixhobo ezingcono ukuze iimbaleki ezinamavili ezinamavili zikwazi ukwenza kwinqanaba lazo. Emva kokuthatha iklasi yoshicilelo ye-3D ekholejini, uRausin waphefumlelwa ukuba ayile iglove yomdyarho wesitulo esinamavili kwaye ukusukela ngoko waqala eyakhe inkampani i-Ingenium Manufacturing.

Bobabini uRausin noMcFadden bathi inkuthazo yabo ivela ekuboneni ukuba banokuzityhala kangakanani na umntu ngamnye, kodwa loo nto ayiwagqubutheleli amaphulo abo okubonelela ngamathuba angakumbi kwisizukulwana esilandelayo sababaleki besitulo esinamavili.

"Amantombazana aselula kuyo yonke indawo kufanele ukuba akwazi ukukhuphisana kwaye afumane izinto ezintsha ezinokubakho," utshilo uRausin. "Ukubaleka kuxhobisa kakhulu kwaye kukunika imvakalelo yokuba ungenza nantoni na."
