• Uphengululo lwe

Uninzi lwethu lunexesha elaneleyo lokukhulula isuti yokuqubha ehlotyeni okanye ukuya kwiipesenti ze-100 zingenamntu omtsha kwigumbi lokulala-kodwa iimbaleki ze-ESPN iNkcazo yeQumrhu leMagazini ziyaqhubeka nokuhamba zize zibonwe lihlabathi lonke . Aba badlali bakumgangatho wehlabathi bakwimo engakholelekiyo, kwaye banokwenza izinto ezikhuthazayo ngemizimba yabo, kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba abakhuselekanga kwimiba yembonakalo yomzimba.

UChristen Press, iqela lesizwe lebhola ekhatywayo labasetyhini base-US phambili, ngomnye wabadlali kumbandela walo nyaka, kwaye unyanisekile ngokupheleleyo malunga nokungakhuseleki kwakhe: uthe ebesoloko efuna "umzimba ogqibeleleyo" kodwa waqonda ukuba oko kube sisiphumo sokuzithelekisa. kumaqabane akhe, ngokutsho kwe-ESPN. (Sicinga ukuba ulunge kakhulu njengoko-jonga nje ividiyo yethu ye-Q&A kunye naye.)

"Ndichithe ixesha elininzi ndingazithembi ngomzimba wam, kodwa ndenze into eninzi kum. Sisixhobo sam, isitya sam somsebenzi wam, "I-Press itshele i-ESPN. "Ndiyabulela kakhulu ngendlela endiziva ngayo xa ndidlala. Ndiziva ndinamandla kakhulu, ndiziva ndikhawuleza, ndiziva ndingenakunqandwa, kwaye kungenxa yomzimba wam." (Singo konke malunga nesi simo sengqondo. Yiyo loo nto idale iphulo #LoveMyShape.)

Imithombo yeendaba ijoyine ezinye iimbaleki zabasetyhini ekubambeni amaphepha omcimbi walo nyaka: U-Emma Coburn (waseRio onethemba lokubaleka), i-Courtney Conlogue (i-pro surfer), u-Elena Delle Donne (umdlali we-WNBA), u-Adeline Grey (oboshwe eRio) Wrestler), uNzingha Prescod (i-fencer eboshwe eRio), ngo-Epreli Ross (oboshwe eRio ngebhola yevoli yaselwandle), uAllysa Seely (paratriathlete oboshwe eRio), uClaressa Shields (umlo wamanqindi oboshwe eRio). (Qala ukulandela ezi kunye nezinye iimfuno zokubukela iRio ngethemba kwi-Instagram.)

Press ayingowokuqala U.S. Umdlali webhola ekhatywayo yabasetyhini ukulahla iimpahla zakhe ngalo mbandela kwaye afumane inyani malunga nokungakhuseleki komzimba; U-Ali Krieger wabonakala ekusasazeni konyaka ophelileyo kwaye wavuma ukuba unothando-nolwalamano nentiyo kunye namathole akhe amakhulu (kwaye omelele!) Ngoku u-Abby Wambach osele esidla umhlala-phantsi wayekho kumcimbi we-Olimpiki ka-2012, kwaye wathi unethemba "ukubonisa abantu ukuba kungakhathaliseki ukuba ungubani, kungakhathaliseki uhlobo lomzimba onalo, luhle." Shumayela, ntombazana! Kodwa umdlali webhola ekhatywayo wokuqala owayisusa yonke into yayinguHope Solo kwimiba ye-2011 xa wayenyanisekile malunga nokuziva njengowesifazane: "Abafana babenokuthi, 'Jonga loo misipha! Ungandikhaba iesile!' Andizange ndizive ndingumfazi. Kodwa loo nto itshintshe kule minyaka mine idlulileyo. Ndabona unxibelelwano phakathi komzimba wam nezinto endizenzileyo. (Ukuba ucinga, "yassss," ke uya kuzithanda ezinye iikowuti ezikhuthazayo malunga nokuba nomzimba oqinisekileyo.)

Ngaba ufuna ngaphezulu? Hlala ubukele umba opheleleyo (kunye nemifanekiso emihle yazo zonke iimbaleki zethu esizithandayo) nge-6 kaJulayi.
