Awuzukubona uSasha DiGiulian eNqa kwi-Olimpiki ka-2020-kodwa yinto entle leyo.

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Xa iKomiti yeOlimpiki yaMazwe ngaMazwe ekugqibeleni yabhengeza ukuba ukunyuka kuzakwenza ukuba i-Olimpiki yayo iqale kwiMidlalo yeHlabathi yaseTokyo ngo-2020, kwabonakala ngathi kunikwe uSasha DiGiulian -ngomnye wabona bancinci, uninzi lwabakhweli abahonjisiweyo phaya-bayakube beganasela igolide. (Yonke le midlalo mitsha uza kuyibona kwimidlalo yeOlimpiki ka-2020.)

Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, umntu oneminyaka engama-25 akakhange ahlangane nerekhodi angakwazanga ukulaphula: Wayengumfazi wokuqala waseMntla Melika ukunyuka ibanga le-9a, 5.14d, elaziwa njengelinye lezona zinzima kwezemidlalo ezinyanzeliswayo ngumntu obhinqileyo. ; Ungene ngaphezu kwama-30 kwindawo yokunyuka yomfazi wokuqala kwihlabathi jikelele, kubandakanywa ubuso obungasentla beNtaba ye-Eiger (eyaziwa ngokuba yi "Murder Wall"); kwaye wayengumfazi wokuqala ukukhulula ukunyuka kwe-2,300-foot Mora Mora. Ukuba wayenokukhuphisana kwiiOlimpiki, ngaba kunjalo kuba ukhuphiswano?

Kodwa uDiGiulian, owayekhe wabhala malunga nokuyeka iphupha lakhe le-Olimpiki xa wayeka ukutyibilika ekukhuphukeni, akacwangcisi ukubuyela kwelo phupha ngenxa yokuba ukunyuka kukwiMidlalo ngoku-kwaye uthi yinto entle leyo. Emva kokuphumelela kwakhe (uDiGiulian wayeyiNtshatsheli yeHlabathi yabasetyhini, iPan-American Champion engoyiswanga iminyaka elishumi, kunye nentshatsheli yeSizwe yase-United States yamaxesha amathathu), ukukhwela kukhuphiswano kuguqukele kuhlobo olwahlukileyo lomdlalo oneenkwenkwezi ezintsha, kwaye uyonwabile ukubenza bakhanye.

Enkosi kwinxalenye yokunyuka njengeDiGiulian, ukunyuka kuya kufikeleleka ngakumbi kunangaphambili. Amashumi amane anesithathu amatsha eejimu zokukhwela ezorhwebo avulwe eUnited States ngo-2017, ukwanda kweepesenti ezili-10 kwaye phantse kabini inani leejimu ezintsha ezivulwe kunyaka ongaphambili. Kwaye abasetyhini ngoku bamele iipesenti ezingama-38 zabo bonke abakhuphisanayo, ngokutsho kwe-International Federation of Sport Climbing. UDiGiulian ufuna ukubona la manani enyuka; Kungenxa yoko le nto, eqhubela phambili, efuna ukuzinikela kwiinzame zakhe zokuzisa abantu abaninzi kangangoko kunokwenzeka.

Ngelixa abakhuphisana bakhe bangaphambili babelwela iNdebe yeHlabathi yeHlabathi yeMidlalo yokuKhuphuka kweMidlalo kwiMidlalo yeGoPro, exhaswa yi-GMC, eVail, CO, uDiGiulian wavula malunga nokunyuka kokunyuka kokunyuka, kutheni abafazi betsalwa kakhulu kumdlalo, kunye neenjongo zakhe. ngaphaya kwegolide yeOlimpiki.

Ubume: Ukunyuka kubone ukukhula okunjalo ekuthandeni kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo. Ngaba oko kubulela ekuqatshelweni kwayo yiOlimpiki, okanye kukho enye into edlalwayo?

USasha DiGiulian (SD): Kubekho le ntengiso inkulu inyukayo kwiindawo zokuzivocavoca eziye zavuleka kwihlabathi liphela. Kutolikwe njengolu hlobo lolunye uhlobo lokuqina: Kulula ukuzibandakanya, kuyanxibelelana kwaye kuyentlalontle, yamkela zonke iintlobo zomzimba kunye nobukhulu, kwaye yinto elungileyo yokusebenza komzimba wonke. (Olu qeqesho luya kunceda ukulungiselela umzimba wakho ukunyuka.)

Kwaye ukunyuka kwakuyimidlalo elawulwa yindoda, kodwa kukho abafazi abaninzi kunanini ngaphambili. Ndicinga ukuba abasetyhini baye baqonda ukuba ungaba ngumfazi kwaye ube ngcono kakhulu kunabafana kwindawo yokuzivocavoca. Ndiyathetha, ndingu-5'2 `` kwaye ngokucacileyo ayisiyonto enkulu, indoda enemisipha, kodwa ndenza kakuhle ngobuhlakani bam. Konke kumalunga nomlinganiselo wamandla ukuya kubunzima bomzimba, nto leyo eyenza ukuba ibe lo mdlalo wamkelekileyo ngokwenene, owahlukileyo.

Ubume: Xa kukho amabhinqa amaninzi anyukayo ngokomsebenzi, ngaba izinto ziye zaba nokhuphiswano ngakumbi?

SD: Uluntu olonyukayo lusondele kakhulu. Le yenye yezinto endizithandayo malunga nokukhwela. Sonke sijongene namava afanayo kwaye sichitha ixesha elininzi sikunye, ngoko ngokuqinisekileyo siba ngabahlobo bokwenene. Xa uqhagamshele ngakwinkanuko engaphaya, ndicinga ukuba ikutsala ukuba ube nokufana okuninzi apho unokunxibelelana kakuhle.

Ndicinga ukuba eyona nto ibamba abantu basetyhini kwezemidlalo ngamanye amaxesha kukungazi nokuzama. Ndandingumfazi wokuqala waseMntla Melika ukunyuka ibanga le-9a, i-5.14d, ngelo xesha, yayiyeyona ndlela inzima yokunyuka eyasekwa ngumfazi ehlabathini. Ngoku, kule minyaka isixhenxe idlulileyo, bekukho abanye abafazi abaninzi abangakhange bayifeze loo nto kuphela, kodwa bayithatha ngakumbi-njengoMargo Hayes, owenza i-5.15a yokuqala, no-Angela Eiter, owenza i-5.15b yokuqala. . Ndicinga ukuba isizukulwana ngasinye siza kutyhala imida yoko kufezekisiweyo. Abafazi abakhoyo, kokukhona imigangatho siza kuyibona ityumkile.(Naba abanye abakhweli bama-rock ababhinqileyo abangalunganga abaya kukukhuthaza ukuba uzame lo mdlalo.)

UbumeUziva njani ngokunyuka ekugqibeleni kufakwe kwiiOlimpiki?

SD: Ndonwabile kakhulu ukubona ukunyuka kwiiOlimpiki! Umdlalo wethu ukhula kakhulu, kwaye andinakulinda ukubona ukunyuka kwela qonga. Xa ndandisesikolweni samabanga aphakamileyo, ndandingomnye wabantwana abambalwa ababekwazi ngokwenene ukuba yintoni enokunyuka esikolweni sam. Emva koko ndabuyela ndaza ndathetha esikolweni sam kunyaka ophelileyo kwaye kwakukho malunga nama-220 abantwana kwiklabhu yokukhwela. Ndafana, "Yima, nina aniyazi into endiyenzayo emva koko!"

Ukunyuka kukhule kwaye kwavela kakhulu nokuba ndiphumelele ubuNtshatsheli beHlabathi ngo-2011-ifomathi kunye nesitayile sitshintshe ngokupheleleyo. Ndiyakuthanda ukubona ukuqhubela phambili, kodwa andikaze ndenze ezinye zezinto eziya kudingwa yiOlimpiki, njengokunyuka kwesantya [abakhweli kuzakunyanzeleka nabo bakhuphisane kulwalwa kunye bakhokele bakhwele]. Ke ndicinga ukuba iphupha leOlimpiki lingaphezulu kwesizukulwana esitsha esikhulayo ngale fomathi intsha.

Ubume: Ngaba bekunzima kuwe ukuba uthathe isigqibo sokuba uza kukhuphisana okanye uza kukhuphisana?

SD: Kwakunzima ukwenza isigqibo. Ngaba ndifuna ukubuyela kukhuphiswano kwaye ndizinikele ngokwenene kwiminyaka embalwa ezayo ekunyukeni kweplastiki kwindawo yokuzivocavoca? Okanye ngaba ndifuna ukulandela nje indlela endivakalelwa ngokungathi ndifuna ukuyenza? Into endiziva ndiyithanda kakhulu kukunyuka ngaphandle. Andifuni ukuyekelela ekubeni ndingaphandle, kwaye ndenza olu nyuko lukhulu ndilucebileyo, ukuba sejimini noqeqesho. Ukukhuphisana kwi-Olimpiki, kuya kufuneka ukuba ndijolise kwi-tubular kwaye ndilungelelanise izinto eziphambili ngokubaluleka. (Nazi iindawo ezili-12 zokukhwela ilitye ngaphambi kokuba ubhubhe.)

Kodwa yonke into kwikhondo lam lomsebenzi, nokuba yeyiphi na impumelelo ebendinayo, ibisenziwa kukuba ndenza le ndifuna ukuyenza kwaye ndilandela le ndiziva ndiyithandayo. Andiziva ndinomdla wokunyuka kwindawo yokuzivocavoca, kwaye ukuba andinalo uthando, ngoko andiyi kuphumelela. Andiziva ngathi ndiyaphoswa, nangona kunjalo, kuba ndibone eli phupha-lokunyuka ukuba kwi-Olimpiki-liza neziqhamo. Ndiyazingca ngomdlalo wethu ngokwenza oko.

Ubume: Njengoko iiOlimpiki zingekho etafileni, luluphi usukelo olufikelelayo ngoku?

SD: Eyona njongo yam iphambili kukwenza ukuba abantu abaninzi kangangoko banokwazi ngokunyuka njengomdlalo. Imidiya yoluntu ibe yinqwelo eyoyikekayo yaloo nto. Ngaphambi koko, yayiyimidlalo enjalo; vele uhambe uyokwenza into yakho. Ngoku, i-adventure nganye esiyithathayo ifumaneka kubantu.

Ndineeprojekthi ezinkulu zokunyuka ngaphakathi kwiindawo ezithile endifuna ukuzifezekisa-ndingathanda ukwenza ukunyuka kokuqala kwilizwekazi liphela. Kodwa ndifuna ukwenza umxholo ongaphezulu wevidiyo ngokukhwela njengale ndlela kwezinye izinto ebomini, njengamava enkcubeko endinawo xa ndihamba. Ndifuna abantu baqonde ukuba ukunyuka kunokuba le nqanawa yokubona ihlabathi. Rhoqo, konke esikubonayo zezi vidiyo zemveliso yokugqibela, apho isikali sonyuka intaba ethile emangalisayo kwindawo ephawulekayo. Umntu obukeleyo ushiyeka ezibuza, "Ufika njani apho?" Ndifuna ukubonisa abantu ukuba ndingumntu nje ophakathi. Ndiyayenza, ukuze nawe wenze njalo. (Qala apha ngeeNgcebiso zokuNqamla iDwala kubaqalayo kunye neGear yokuNqamla iRock eyimfuneko ekufuneka ungene eDongeni.)
