I haere mai a Michaela Shiffrin ki ngā Ōrimipia me ngā tumanako nui, ā, he nui ngā whakaaroaro i mahia e ia i muri i tana korenga i toa i tētahi mētara, me te korenga i whakaoti i ētahi o ana whakataetae takitahi e toru i ngā Tākaro o Beijing i te tau kua hipa.
"Ka taea e koe te whakamanawanui i te meka i ētahi wā kāore ngā mea e haere ana i te ara e tino hiahiatia ana e au," te kī a te kaitākirikiri o Amerika. "Ahakoa e kaha ana taku mahi, e tino kaha ana taku mahi, ā, ki taku whakaaro kei te mahi tika ahau, i ētahi wā kāore e mahi, ā, koinei te āhua. Koinei te ao. I ētahi wā ka hinga koe, i ētahi wā ka angitu koe. . He nui ake tōku whakamarie i ngā pito e rua, ā, tera pea ka iti ake te ahotea whānui."
He pai te whai huatanga o tēnei huarahi whakamamae i te ahotea mā Shiffrin, nāna nei i wawahi ngā rekoata i te wā o te Ipu o te Ao.
Engari kua whakaroahia te rapu rekoata mō tēnei putanga – i hipa atu a Shiffrin i a Lindsey Vonn mō te nuinga o ngā wikitoria o te Whakataetae Wahine o te Ao i roto i te hītori, ā, kotahi anake te tāpiri e hiahiatia ana hei taurite i te tapeke 86 a Ingemar Stenmark – i te mea kua tahuri a Shiffrin ki tētahi atu wero: te haere ki tana huihuinga nui tuatahi mai i Beijing.
Ka tīmata te Whakataetae o te Ao Reti Hikoi Ā-Alpine i te Rāhina i Courchevel me Méribel, Wīwī, ā, ka noho anō a Shiffrin hei kaitono mētara i ngā whakataetae e whā ka taea e ia te whakauru atu.
Ahakoa kāore pea e tino arohia, inā koa i te Hononga o Amerika, he rite tonu te whakatakotoranga o ngā whenua o te ao mō te kaupapa reti reti whenua o ngā Olympics.
"Kāore rawa," te kī a Shiffrin. "Mēnā he mea kua akohia e au i te tau kua hipa, ko te mea he mīharo ēnei huihuinga nui, he kino, ā, ka ora tonu koe. Nō reira, kāore au e māharahara."
Hei tāpiritanga, i kī atu a Shiffrin, 27 tau te pakeke, i tētahi atu rā tata nei: "He pai ake ki ahau te pēhanga, ā, ka urutau ki te pēhanga o te kēmu. Pērā ai ka tino pārekareka ahau ki te tukanga."
Ahakoa kāore a Shiffrin e toa i te Ipu o te Ao i te whakataetae whānui, he mea whakamiharo anō hoki tēnei mō āna mahi toa o te ao.
I te katoa, e ono ngā koura kua riro i a Shiffrin me te tekau mā tahi ngā mētara i roto i ngā reihi tekau mā toru i roto i te tuarua o ngā whakataetae retihuka nui rawa atu mai i ngā Olympics. Ko te wā whakamutunga kāore ia i whiwhi mētara i ngā whakataetae o te ao i waru tau ki muri i a ia e taiohi ana.
Nō nā tata nei ia i kī ai "e tino mōhio ana" ia kāore ia e whakataetae iho i te hekenga. Ā, kāore pea ia e uru atu ki ngā huihuinga taha nā te mea he uaua tōna tuara.
Ko te huinga i toa ai ia i te Whakataetae o te Ao whakamutunga i Cortina d'Ampezzo, Itari i ngā tau e rua ki muri, ka tīmata i te Rāhina. He reihi tēnei e whakakotahi ana i te super-G me te slalom.
Ka tū te Whakataetae o te Ao ki ngā wāhi e rua, e 15 meneti te tawhiti tetahi i tetahi, engari e honoa ana e ngā ararewa me ngā pari hukarere.
Ka tū te reihi wāhine ki Méribel i te Roque de Fer, i hangaia mō ngā Tākaro o te tau 1992 ki Albertville, ko te reihi tāne ia ka tū ki te ara reihi hou o l'Eclipse i Courchevel, i tīmata tuatahi i te whiringa toa o te Ipu o te Ao i te wā kua hipa.
He tino pūkenga a Shiffrin ki te slalom me te slalom nunui, ko tana hoa tāne nōwei a Alexander Aamodt Kilde he tohunga ki te heke whenua me te super-G.
He toa whānui o mua o te Ipu o te Ao, he toa hiriwa (whānui) me te toa parahi (super G) mō ngā Ōrimipia o Beijing, kei te whai tonu a Kielder i tana mētara tuatahi i te Whakataetae o te Ao, i ngaro atu ia i te whakataetae o te tau 2021 nā te whara.
Whai muri i te wikitoria o ngā tīma tāne me ngā tīma wāhine o Amerika i te kotahi mētara i Beijing, e tumanako ana te tīma kia nui ake ngā mētara i tēnei whakataetae, kaua ko Shiffrin anake.
Ko Ryan Cochran-Seagle, i toa i te hiriwa o te whakataetae Super-G o te tau kua hipa, kei te noho tonu hei tūmomo mōrearea mō ngā mētara i roto i ngā momo whakataetae. Hei tāpiri, i tuatoru a Travis Ganong i te reihi heke whakamataku i Kitzbühel i tana wā poroporoaki.
Mō ngā wāhine, i tuarua a Paula Molzan i muri i a Shiffrin i te marama o Tīhema, koinei te wā tuatahi mai i te tau 1971 i toa ai te US i te Slalom o te Ipu o te Ao mō ngā Wāhine, 1-2. Kua eke a Molzan ki ngā whakataetae slalom wāhine e whitu o runga. Hei tāpiri, kei te ora tonu a Breezy Johnson rāua ko Nina O'Brien i te whara.
"He maha ngā mētara e hiahia ana koe ki te toa, e kōrero tonu ana te iwi mō te maha o ngā mētara e hiahia ana koe ki te toa? He aha te take? He aha tō nama waea? Ki taku whakaaro he mea nui kia reti reti mātou i ngā wā katoa e taea ana," te kī a te Kaiwhakahaere o te Whare Reti Reti o Amerika, a Patrick Riml.) i kī ia i utua anō ia e te tīma whai muri i tētahi mahi whakarihariha i Beijing.
"Kei te arotahi ahau ki te tukanga - puta atu, tahuri, kātahi ka whakaaro ahau kei a tātou te pūmanawa ki te toa i ētahi mētara," te tāpiri a Riml. "Kei te harikoa ahau mō te wāhi kei reira tātou me te āhua o tā tātou anga whakamua."
