Iqela lase-USA lifuna ukuba uncede iMbaleki yeOlimpiki

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Umdlali we-Olympian uyaziwa ngokwenza nantoni na ukuze afikelele usukelo lwakhe, kodwa kukho umqobo omnye onokuthi nkqu nomgijimi okhawulezayo unobunzima bokuwoyisa: imali efunekayo ukukhuphisana kwinqanaba lehlabathi. Ngelixa iimbaleki zisenokuba kulo uzuko, kuthatha ngaphezulu kunekratshi ukuhlawulela uqeqesho, izixhobo, ukhenketho kunye neendleko zokhuphiswano.

Esinye isisombululo yinkqubo entsha eqalwe yiKomiti yeOlimpiki yaseUnited States (USOC), evumela iimbaleki ukuba "zibhalise" kwiimfuno ezithile uluntu olunokukhetha ukuzithengela.

Irejistri yeQela lase-USA inika abaxhasi ithuba lokunceda iimbaleki ngokuhlawulela nantoni na ukusuka kwisigcina-ntloko esitsha sebhayisekile ukuya kwimirhumo yemithwalo ukuya kwigrosari (okuthi, ngesantya la manenekazi kunye neejents zitshisa iikhalori, sicinga ukuba zongeza ngokukhawuleza). Kwaye ezo zizinto onokuzilindela. Ukuskena okukhawulezileyo kuluhlu lweembaleki ezinqwenelekayo kubonisa izinto eziya kubeka nowona mtshato unobuchule okanye ubhaliso lomntwana ehlazweni. Ngeedola ezingama-250, ungathenga nje ukuphatha kwehashe lepomel kwiqela lamaGymnastics e-U.S. Ukuba uziva uchitha imali encinane, i-$15 iya kuthengela umdlali wombhoxo into yokuba umlomo ibe ngumkhuseli kwaye i-$50 iya kuhlawulela inja yokuxhasa umdlali okhubazekileyo. Kwaye ngeedola ezili-1, ungathenga imbaleki iseti (yexabiso eliphantsi) yemikhono yoxinzelelo. (Kuvakala njengenye yezinto zethu ezi-8 zokuSebenza zoMsebenzi zibiza kakhulu ukuba zingcolise.)

Abantu abaninzi bacinga ukuba yi-Olimpiki kuthetha ukuba sisityebi kwaye oko kunokuba yinyani kwiimbaleki ezifumana inkxaso-mali emva kokuphumelela igolide. Kodwa uninzi lwabadlali beOlimpiki bazabalaza kakhulu ukuzalisekisa iphupha labo. Uhlalutyo lweForbes lufumanise ukuba ixabiso eliphakathi linethemba Nangona I-$ 40,000 ngonyaka-ithebhu edla ngokuthathwa yintsapho yabo. Indadi ebalaseleyo uMichael Phelps abazali bathe bahlawula malunga ne-100,000 yeedola ngonyaka ngomsebenzi ongaphezu kwesigidi seedola ukuze bamgcine equleni. Ayimangalisi ke into yokuba iintsapho ezininzi, ezinjengezo zikaRyan Lochte kunye nomlingisi womzimba uGabby Douglas, kuye kwafuneka babhengeze njengongenamali, bancama yonke into abanayo ukuxhasa i-Olimpiki yabo yexesha elizayo. (Yintoni eyenza iMbaleki yeOlimpiki ibalasele?)

Xa kufikwa ekufumaneni imali ngokwabo, iiOlimpiki ezinokubakho zikwimeko enzima.Iintengiso zentengiso kunye nenkxaso-mali zilungile, kodwa iimbaleki zibophelelwe yiwebhu edidayo yemithetho malunga nemali abangayithatha kubaxhasi beenkampani kunye nendlela esetyenziswa ngayo-imeko enzima ngakumbi kwiimbaleki ezingaziwayo okanye ezidlalayo imidlalo engathandwayo. Kwaye akufani nokuba banokuthatha umsebenzi wosuku, nabo. Phakathi kweeyure kwindawo yokuzivocavoca kunye nexesha lokubuyisela elifunekayo, uqeqesho lweeOlimpiki ngumsebenzi osisigxina. Phakathi kwenkxaso kunye nemisebenzi, i-avareji yethemba le-Olimpiki ifumana nje i-20,000 yeedola ngonyaka-isiqingatha sobuncinci bengxelo yeForbes abayidingayo.

"I-Olimpiki ayisiyonto uyenzayo ukuze ube sisityebi. Wenza ukuze ukwazi ukumela ilizwe lakho lidlala kumdlalo owuthandayo," utshilo uShannon Miller, olilungu leqela le-gymnastics yabasetyhini abaphumelele imbasa yegolide ngo-1996 kwiABCNews.com .

Nangona kunjalo imali kufuneka ivele kwenye indawo. I-USOC inemali encinci yokuyisebenzisa ukunceda iimbaleki ezisencinci, kodwa njengenye yekomiti yeOlimpiki yesizwe engenankxaso kurhulumente, imali iyoma ngaphambi kwexesha lokuyidinga. Ke ngoku i-USOC iguqukela kuluntu ukunceda ukuxhasa ii-Olympians kunye neParalympians esithanda ukubukela kakhulu. Ukunceda kulula njengokuya kwiRejista yeQela laseMelika kunye nokwenza umnikelo-ungakhetha nokuba yeyiphi na into ongathanda ukuyinikela kwiqela elithile. Kwaye nge-Rio 2016 sele ikufutshane, ixesha lokuqinisekisa ukuba omthandayo ufumana ithuba egolideni ngoku. Kwaye mhlawumbi xa bephumelele, benxibe inkqubo yokucinezela imikhono oye wayinceda ukuhlawulela, uya kuziva ngathi uphumelele!
