Pensé en comenzar esta columna elogiando a la gente amigable y de mente abierta de Brasil, la belleza natural de nuestro paisaje y la delicia sin igual de las galletas Globo. Pero quizá el sarcasmo no sea la mejor respuesta para aquellos que me culpan por escribir solo cosas malas de mi país, arruinando la imagen de nuestra amada tierra de la samba y las caipirinhas.
La gente me dice que he criticado abiertamente nuestros problemas. Me reclaman que “la ropa sucia nunca debe lavarse en público” y que sería mejor decir solo cosas positivas de Brasil.
Después de escribir hace poco un artículo en el que criticaba muchos aspectos de la organización de las olimpiadas, me sentí abrumada por la indignación patriótica.… Seguir leyendo »
The Rio 2016 organising committee in Brazil has given a flagrant two-finger salute to the Paralympics, due to begin in just over two weeks’ time. The Games will, sadly, be remembered for abject failure — save for the sensational performances of the athletes, no doubt, who will be forced to compete in adversity with venues closed and service levels slashed.
Parlous planning and a lack of understanding and interest in the Paralympics has resulted in pathetic 12 per cent ticket sales, lack of sponsors and a Games fighting for its life, with many nations unable to attend through the non-payment of travel grants.… Seguir leyendo »
I thought of beginning this column by praising Brazil’s friendly and open-minded people, the natural beauty of our landscape and the supreme delight that are Globo biscuits. But perhaps sarcasm isn’t the best response to those who blame me for writing only bad things about my country, ruining the image of our beloved land of samba and caipirinhas.
People tell me I’ve been overly critical about our problems. They claim you should “never wash your dirty linen in public,” and that it would be better just to say positive things about Brazil.
After I wrote a recent article criticizing many aspects of the preparation for the Olympics, I was overwhelmed by patriotic outrage.… Seguir leyendo »
There have been few moments in my life as memorable as competing in the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. The chance to represent my country was a distinct honor, as was being part of the community of the Olympics — an event with the rare power to unite the world in the common spirit of competition and athletic excellence.
The attention, hopes and energies of the global community uniquely fall into sync during the 17 days every two years when the best athletes in the world gather to compete. It’s what makes the Olympic Games so special to so many.… Seguir leyendo »
"Y así, por ambas partes, la verdad es acallada". Me sirven de excusa los versos de Shakespeare para hablar de Cervantes. Para dejarme guiar por las sabias reflexiones de un Quijote visionario -al que dicen loco- que comparte con tantos deportistas el anhelo de justicia allá donde estuviere. Y a pesar de que seamos nosotros quienes tengamos que decirnos al cuello de la camisa, no muy alto, para no enrojecer de vergüenza, "largo nos lo fiáis, amigo Sancho".
Se acaban de inaugurar unos Juegos Olímpicos que nos hacen a todos, a los que no competimos, citius, altius, fortius; porque somos nosotros, los ciudadanos de a pie, los que cosechamos en albardas propias el esfuerzo ajeno.… Seguir leyendo »
Every Olympics seems to bring with it a doping scandal, and the Rio games are no different. Well before Friday’s opening ceremonies, state-sponsored doping in Russia, widespread doping on the Chinese swim team, and questions about a Rio drug-testing lab have renewed worries about whether a “clean” Olympics will ever be possible.
It might be tempting to throw up one’s hands and see these revelations as nothing more than the latest in a series of sordid stories about athletes seeking an edge. After all, pro sports from cycling to baseball are rife with similar tales of performance-enhancing substances. But the recent Olympic doping scandals are symptomatic of something more significant: the return of semi-rogue countries determined to bypass international norms and conventions in a systematic way not seen since the cold war.… Seguir leyendo »
This summer, when the Olympic Games are held in Rio de Janeiro, marathon swimmers, sailors and triathletes will be asked to compete in the highly polluted waters of Guanabara Bay and off nearby Copacabana Beach. Any athlete coming into contact with these waters has a high probability of becoming ill. Members of the United States junior national rowing team and competitive sailors have become sick with diarrhea, vomiting and flulike symptoms after training and competing around Rio, and they experience only “incidental contact” with the water. Marathon swimmers and triathletes will ingest this water — and the consequences could be deadly.… Seguir leyendo »
It's true, things are not pretty in Rio de Janeiro, even as the Olympic torch arrived Tuesday in Brazil, with three months until the opening ceremony of the Games.
There's the raw sewage in Guanabara Bay, slated for sailing events. The doubts over whether the subway line connecting the Olympic venues will be finished in time. The horror of the collapse of a recently built $12 million seaside bike path (two dead, three injured), calling into question the integrity of the other structures the city has built for the Games -- for which, by the way, ticket sales are still hovering at only about 62%.… Seguir leyendo »
