Ngesikhathi u-Jessie Diggins ewina isicoco somhlaba sokuqala emlandweni wokushushuluza eqhweni ezweni lase-US ngoLwesibili, waqaphela ukuthi bonke ochwepheshe baseMelika kapharafini babephuthuma emzileni ukuzomjabulisa. Ayemaningi amazwi kangangokuthi wayengakwazi ngisho nelilodwa ukuzwa.
“Ngikhumbula ngesinye isikhathi ngacabanga ukuthi angazi nokuthi kwakungubani,” kusho uDeakins etshela umsakazi waseNorway, i-NRK, ngemva kwalokho wahlengezela izinyembezi zenjabulo. “Bayahlanya, umuzwa omnandi kanje. Uma usesimweni esihle ngempela, kusebuhlungu, kodwa uzizwa sengathi ungaziphusha kakhulu.”
Ngesitayela sakhe sokusayina, uDeakins uwine i-10K World All-Around Freestyle Championship ngo-23:40 ePlanica, eSlovenia. Uqede imizuzwana engu-14 ngaphambi kukaFrida Karlsson waseSweden. Omunye waseSweden, u-Ebba Andersson, uwine indondo yethusi emjahweni wokuvivinya umuntu ngamunye oyimizuzwana engama-30.
UDeakins ubesele ngemuva kwezinsuku ezimbili kubashwibi baseNorway nabaseSweden emqhudelwaneni weqembu, lapho awina khona ithusi noJulia Kern, owaqala i-10km ngomzuzu elandela uCarlsen, oqala ngo-2021. Umqhudelwano wokugcina womhlaba wonyaka wawina indondo yesiliva.
Ngemizuzu emine yokuqala, uDeakins ubehamba ngemizuzwana emithathu ngaphambi kukaCarlsen. UDeakins ugcine ehola ngendlela efanayo esigabeni ngasinye esingu-7.7km, okwenza umjaho uqinile. Kodwa emizuzwini eyisithupha yokugcina, walahla isando sakhe washelela waze wayoqeda ngaphandle kokungabaza, wawa eqhweni eduze kukaKarlsson, ehefuzela.
“Angikwazanga ukukhala ngemuva komjaho,” kusho uDeakins, ogibele amafidi angu-1 263 emjahweni wamamayela angu-6.25, cishe ubude be-Empire State Building. “Ngacabanga, ‘Angikwazi nokukujabulela lokhu ngoba angiboni. Ngikhalile. Kodwa ikhetheke kakhulu.”
Abashwibi baseMelika sebenqobe izindondo eziyi-13 zama-Olympic noma World Championship kusukela ngo-1976, kodwa ngoLwesibili kube igolide lokuqala ngabanye.
U-Deakins usevele ephethe irekhodi lase-US lezindondo eziningi zama-Olympics ekushushuluzeni eqhweni (eyodwa yombala ngamunye), izindondo Zomqhudelwano Womhlaba (manje oseziyisithupha), kanye nezicoco zeNdebe Yomhlaba ngayinye (14).
"Kuhle ukuba nenkawu emhlane wakho, ngisho nomsubathi ofana noJesse," umqeqeshi waseMelika uMatt Whitcomb etshela i-NRK. “Angase angakwazi ukukutshela zonke izibalo ngaye. Angakutshela nje ukuthi umnika izifundo ezinje futhi uyazi ukuthi okungenani uzoba ne-draw. Lena ikhwalithi ephawuleka kakhulu kaJesse. futhi sihlupheke.”
U-Deakins uthi izinyembezi zibangelwa umzamo weqembu wabakhi be-wax, abaqeqeshi, abelaphi bomzimba, izazi zokudla okunomsoco kanye nabelaphi bemasaji. Yingoba ubengekho ekhaya isizini yonke, futhi ikakhulukazi kude nomyeni wakhe omusha.
UDeakins wayibiza ngokuthi inkathi yokukhuphuka nokwehla. NgoZibandlela, walingana futhi wephula irekhodi leNdebe Yomhlaba Yase-United States elaqoshwa owayenguzakwabo weqembu le-Olympian u-Kikkan Randall.
Kodwa ngaphambi kokuqala kweNdebe yoMhlaba, ozakwabo bavuka ngoNovemba bamthola ezisonge phansi endlini yokugezela. UDeakins ukholelwa ukuthi uthole igciwane lomkhuhlane wamahora angama-24 ngemuva kokuhambela eYurophu.
Kuthe eTour de France, okuyiTour de France, njengeTour de France, ebanjwa ngobusuku baNcibijane, waqeda endaweni yama-40, 30 kanye nama-40. Welulekwa ngabezindaba baseScandinavia ukuthi ahoxe emqhudelwaneni awunqoba ngo-2021.
UDiggins uqhubekile nomjaho, ebeka isikhathi esisheshayo sokujaha ukushushuluza ngaphambi kokuqeda endaweni yesihlanu esigabeni samanqamu esinzima, u-10km ukhuphuka iSemis Alps yase-Italy.
“Ngiyazi ukuthi ngisesimweni esihle, ikakhulukazi [ngokuhlukunyezwa],” kusho uDeakins ngoLwesibili. “Kodwa uma sikhuluma iqiniso, sithwele kanzima nge-ski wax, kufanele ube nakho konke ukuze ungenele umjaho wokuncintisana. Yingakho uma siwina siwina njengeqembu.”
U-Deakins uqede ngokuqeda kathathu kwenkundla emijahweni yakhe emihlanu yokugcina eyedwa ngaphambi kweWorld Championships wabe esegijima ngamandla emjahweni weqembu wangeSonto.
Ube esengena emlandweni, enethemba lokusiza iThimba laseMelika ukuthi liwine indondo yalo yokuqala ye-relay ngoLwesine. U-Deakins uyilungu leqembu lase-USA futhi uqede endaweni yesine noma yesihlanu emqhudelwaneni ngamunye kwemihlanu edlule.
“Zonke izingcezu ziyahlangana—umzimba wakho, ubuchopho bakho, ijubane lakho, amasu akho, ukushushuluza kwakho eqhweni nesimo sezulu,” kusho yena. “Ikhethekile.”
U-Summer McIntosh oneminyaka engu-16 waseCanada uphule irekhodi lakhe lomhlaba labancane ngoLwesine ngokuwina i-200m butterfly emcimbini we-Pro Series Swimming e-Fort Lauderdale, eFlorida.
UMcIntosh, owawina izicoco ku-200m sweep kanye ne-400m individual medley kuWorld Championships ngoJuni odlule, wathinta udonga ngo-2:5.05.
Emiqhudelwaneni Yomhlaba e-Budapest, wehlise irekhodi lakhe lomhlaba labancane ngo-15% futhi manje usengumgijimi osheshayo we-11 kunoma yisiphi isigaba seminyaka.
UMcIntosh, obeqeqeshwa eSarasota, ube nombango othembisayo noKatie Ledecky ku-400 metres freestyle, okungazange kubhukude ngoLwesine.
U-Ledecky akazange angenele eminye yemicimbi yakhe emikhulu ngoLwesine, kodwa walala isibili ku-freestyle yamamitha angu-100 futhi akazange angenele umqhudelwano omkhulu.
U-Abby Weitzeil uwine ngesikhathi esingu-53.38, okuyisiqalo esihle sesizini emqhudelwaneni ojulile waseMelika. U-Weizeil, umpetha wama-Olympic Trials ka-2020 ku-50m kanye ne-100m freestyle, wehlule izimbangi, okuhlanganisa nabane abaphambili, kuma-Olympic Trials ngoLwesine.
Ubuya naseqenjini eliphuthwe yiNdebe yoMhlaba nyakenye. UWeitzeil ubengowesikhombisa ekuqokweni kwangonyaka odlule, kodwa ngoLwesine uzobe elele isibili ohlwini lwabazokhethwa ngo-2022 ngemuva kukaTorrey Haske owadla ubhedu emhlabeni, ongagijimi eFort Lauderdale.
NgoLwesine futhi, u-Nick Fink wehlule uMichael Andrew ngephesenti elilodwa kumdlalo we-100m we-breaststroke phakathi kwabadlali ababili baseMelika abahamba phambili ngonyaka odlule. Isikhathi sikaFunk besiyimizuzwana engama-59.97.

Ababhukudi balungiselela iMiqhudelwano yase-US ekupheleni kukaJuni kanye neMiqhudelwano Yomhlaba eFukuoka, eJapan ngoJulayi.
Kule ngxubevange eyinkimbinkimbi yemithetho, izimiso nezincazelo ezilawula uhlelo lomhlaba wonke lokulwa ne-doping, akekho obona lesi sixwayiso: qaphela izidakamizwa zezinja.
Kwakuwukwengamela okuqondakalayo, kodwa kwaholela ohambweni lophenyo lwezinyanga ezintathu olwagcina lukhulule i-Olympian yezikhathi ezinhlanu nge-doping, ngenkathi yengeza inkanyezi abanye abayibheka njengengenasidingo.
U-Katerina Nash, umgibeli webhayisikili lezintaba kanye nomshushuluzi onqamula izwe omele i-Czech Republic kuma-Olympics amabili Wasebusika kanye nama-Olympics amathathu Ehlobo, ugweme ukuvinjelwa kwe-doping iminyaka emine. Iziphathimandla zanquma ukuthi lapho elahla umuthi emphinjeni wenja yakhe egulayo, eyaziwa nangokuthi uRuby, le nto yafika lapho ngesikhumba sakhe.
Yize bekungekho unswinyo, ukungenela kukaNash neziphathimandla ezimelene nokusetshenziswa kwezidakamizwa bekuse embikweni wangoLwesine, okuwumkhiqizo wemithetho osekunesikhathi eside idinga noma yikuphi ukwephulwa kwe-doping - ngisho "Ukuthola Okubi Kokuhlaziya" okungahlosile. .
“Kuyashaqisa ukucabanga ukuthi uma ngingazigezi izandla zami kuzongonakalisa wonke umsebenzi wami njengomsubathi iminyaka engu-30,” uNash, 45, etshela i-Associated Press. Izindlela ezihlukene zokunakekela inja yami. Kodwa ekugcineni, ngangisebenzisa lesi sidakamizwa nsuku zonke amasonto amathathu.”
UNash uhlala eCalifornia futhi uhlolwe yi-US Anti-Doping Agency. Imiphumela, evele emahhovisi e-USADA ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva, ibimangaza. Umchamo kaNash wabonisa amanani okulandela umkhondo (0.07th billion wegram per milliliter) wento ebizwa ngeCamorelin. Nakuba kwakungabalulekile, kwakwanele ukubangela ukuvuleka okungekuhle. Nakuba i-capromorelin ingashiwongo ngokuqondile ohlwini lwezinto ezivinjelwe, isawela esigabeni "sezinye" izinto ezivinjelwe ezihlobene ne-hormone yokukhula komuntu.
Njengasezimweni ezidlule, ngemva kokuthola ukuthi imithi yokuvikela ilanga etholakala ngaphandle kwekhawunta yabonisa imiphumela emihle, amalungu eqembu lesayensi lase-USADA aqala ukusebenza.
Okokuqala, bathole ukuthi i-Camorelin ikhona ku-Entyce, esetshenziselwa ukwandisa ukudla ezinjeni ezigulayo. Khona-ke isazi Esiyinhloko se-USADA uDkt. Matt Fedoruk nabanye baqala ukugcoba umuthi esikhumbeni sabo. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva banikeza umphumela omuhle. Lesi isibonelo sakamuva sobuhle nobubi bokulwa ne-doping ngamathuluzi azwela kakhulu ukuthola amanani amancane ezidakamizwa.
"Inkinga nge-anti-doping ukuthi ukuzwela sekuye kwaba kuhle kangangokuthi manje sesinokuhambisana phakathi kwe-doping kanye nokuchayeka kwemvelo esingabhekana nakho njengabasubathi," kusho uFedoruk.
Izibonelo eziyinhloko zezinkinga ezingadalwa ukuhlolwa okubucayi yizimo ezimbalwa eziye zayekiswa eminyakeni yamuva nje zabasubathi abahlolelwa ukuthi banegciwane ngemuva kokuqabulana noma ukuya ocansini nophathina obenento evinjelwe ohlelweni lwabo.
Kwezinye izimo, abasubathi badle imikhondo yento evinjelwe ngenkathi bedla inyama engcolile. Kwezinye izimo, imithetho emelene ne-doping ishintshiwe ukuze kumiswe imingcele ephansi yokuhlolwa okuqondile.
“Lezi zinkinga kumele zidingidwe kabanzi,” kusho uGreene. “Ukunikeza inkululeko yokwenza esimemezelweni esidlangalaleni kungaba yisizathu esihle sokuthatha isinyathelo, kulula ukusilungisa. Usengathola imiphumela engenawo amaphutha, kodwa akudingekile ukuthi ishicilelwe.”
Ngesikhathi icala lisaqhubeka, uNash uvinjelwe okwesikhashana ukudlala umdlalo wakhe nokuba ngumongameli we-International Cycling Federation's Athletes' Commission. Uthe wazi kahle ukuthi abanye abantu bazobona igama elithi “doping” eduze kwegama lakhe bese becabanga okungalungile.
“Kuyaxaka kakhulu ngoba ngikuthatha ngokungathi sína,” kusho uNash, owama-Olympic akhe okuqala ngo-1996. “Angiwathathi ama-supplements. Ngokwengxenye enkulu, ngimane nginamathele kulokho [inkampani ye-candy bar] ekwenzayo ngoba iphumelela futhi ngiyazi ukuthi yenziwa kuphi. inja.”
Ngeshwa, umuthi awuzange umsindise uRuby. Cishe ngemva kwenyanga uNash enze isinqumo esibuhlungu sokudedela inja, wathola ucingo lwakhe lokuqala oluvela e-USADA mayelana nokuhlolwa. Ngandlela thize, waba nenhlanhla yokuthi i-USADA yayizimisele ukusebenzisa izinsiza ukuze ithole ukuthi i-capmulin emzimbeni wakhe ivelaphi—utshalomali obeluzogcina uNash Emidlalweni Yasendaweni Ekakhulukazi.
Uthe iminyaka engu-15 wayegcwalisa wonke amafomu achaza ukuthi ukuphi, waphumelela kuzo zonke izivivinyo, futhi akazange athole umphumela omubi. Kodwa-ke, imithetho idinga ukuthi igama lakhe livele esitatimendeni sabezindaba sase-USADA ngoLwesine. Ukukhishwa kwabezindaba bekunesihloko esithi “Imithetho ye-WADA Must Change”, kubhekiselwa ku-WADA engenzi lutho ngemuva kokwethulwa kwemininingwane yecala.
“Kuwuhlelo olunonya,” kusho uNash. “Lolu wuhlelo oluthuthuke kakhulu, futhi lukhona ngesizathu. Kodwa lokho akumele kusivimbe ekuthuthukiseni uhlelo ngokuzayo.”
