U-Apia uphumelele ibronze kwimidlalo yabasetyhini abangatshatanga kumdlalo wokugqibela weNdebe yeHlabathi yeFIFA

UCynthia Appia waseToronto ufumene ubhedu kumdyarho wokugqibela weNdebe yeHlabathi ye-monocoque eSigulda, eLatvia ngoMgqibelo.
U-Apia, oneminyaka engama-32 ubudala, ulingane nomdlali waseTshayina uQingying ngamanqaku amabini kwi-1:47.10. UKylie Humphreys waseMelika ube ngowokuqala kwi-1:46.52 kwaye uKim Kaliki waseJamani ube ngowesibini kwi-1:46.96.
“Ndiphoswe ngumdlalo apha kunyaka ophelileyo ngenxa yokuqhambuka kwe-COVID kwiqela lethu,” utshilo uAppiah. “Ngoko ke ndize apha ndinoloyiko kwaye andizange ndibe neveki yoqeqesho engcono kakhulu.”
“ISigulda ifana kakhulu nomzila we-sledge-skeleton, ngoko ke kunzima kakhulu ukuhamba nge-sledge. Injongo yam kukubaleka ngokucocekileyo kangangoko ndinako, ndisazi ukuba ukuqala kwam, kunye nokubaleka okuhle, kuza kundithatha ndize ndifikelele eqongeni.”
UAppiah uqale ngesantya kuzo zombini iimbaleki (5.62 kunye 5.60) kodwa wasokola ukugqiba ezantsi kwebala.
“Bendisazi ukuba ndinako konke okufunekayo ukuze ndiphumelele umdyarho, kodwa iimpazamo endazenzayo kwi-15 kwimidyarho yomibini zindichithe ixesha elininzi,” utshilo uAppiah. “Ndinethemba lokuba olu hambo luza kubuyela apha kwiminyaka embalwa ezayo.”
“Le ndlela ifana neLake Placid kunye neAltenberg, iindlela ezimbini endizithandayo ukuzikhwela kwaye zihambelana nendlela yam yokuqhuba.”
UAppiah ungowesithathu kwiNdebe yeHlabathi xa efumana iimbasa zesilivere ezine nezebronze kwimidlalo esibhozo.
“Ibilixesha elinzima, kodwa ngokubanzi bekumnandi ukukhwela ihashe kwaye ndifumene uvuyo olungazange lubekho kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo,” utshilo. “Kuvuselele uthando lwam lokuqhuba.”
