Njengomfana odlala ibhola lasemgwaqweni, ngangikwazi ukugijima! Kodwa ngolunye usuku, usuku engathola ngalo izicathulo zami ezintsha, ngavula ngempela amajethi! Ngalolo suku abangani bami bangiteketisa ngalo Inkanyezi enomsila kaHalley, ngemva kwaleyo edumile (ungakhathazeki ukuthi igama lami libhalwe kanye L). Kuyamangaza ukuthi lezo zicathulo ezintsha zenzani engqondweni yami.
Ngendlela efanayo, izingubo zamehlo zomncintiswano ka-Elexis (Lex) Gillette zimnikeze isivumo sokholo esisha. U-Lex ungumpetha womhlaba we-long jump oqhudelana ekilasini le-T11 lama-Paralympics. Manje, ngenxa yolwazi lwedizayini yeqembu le-NXT le-Nike elisebenza kakhulu, u-Lex usemoyeni ngemfashini yeqhawe elimangalisayo!
Izimpumelelo zikaLex Gillette kwezokusubatha ziyamangalisa ngempela. Utuswa njengomdlali waseMelika oyimpumputhe ohamba phambili nokathathu emlandweni wesizwe. Yize engaboni kahle kodwa uyindoda ebonayo. Ukuze uthole okwengeziwe ngendaba yakhe vakashela lapha.
Ikhono lika-Lex kwezokusubatha lidonse ukunaka kuka-Nike owaqala ingxoxo no-Lex mayelana nokuklama izingubo zamehlo zomncintiswano. Umgomo bekungekona nje ukufeza imfuneko ye-Paralympic Class T11 yokuthi bonke abasubathi bagqoke izibuko ezikhanyayo noma imaskhi yamehlo, kodwa ukuklama izingubo zamehlo ezihlanganisa umfaniswano wakhe futhi zigqamise isitayela somuntu siqu sika-Lex.
Nakhu okwashiwo uLex ekuqaleni kwephrojekthi.
“Lapho ngithinta okuthile futhi ngikubone ngeso lengqondo,” kuchaza uGillette, “ngiyakwazi ukukukala futhi ngenze isithombe engqondweni yami. Ngiyakwazi ukucabanga, 'Ngingakwazi ukunyakazisa lokhu. Kungabukeka kumnandi ngenyufomu yami.'”
Lokhu kuqonda kanye nezinye izindlela zokuklama kuqhubekisele phambili imizamo yokuthuthukisa yethimba le-NXT.
Imibandela yokuklama yayihlanganisa:
- Yehlisa iziphazamiso u-Lex kwesinye isikhathi ahlangabezana nazo ngenxa yokuhlikihlwa kwemaski yendwangu kuzinkophe nokulingana okungahambisani.
- Vikela amehlo esihlabathini esifutha phezulu lapho ufika emgodini.
- Ngaphandle komubi - “Bazizwa bebabi nje. Ngifuna ukubukeka ngipholile uma ngenza lokhu.”
- Yiba nesici sefomu lezingubo zamehlo kanye nesakhiwo
- Faka izimfanelo ezihlukahlukene "zokuthinta".
Lihlome ngezinhloso zokuklama kanye nokuskena kwe-3D kwekhanda lika-Lex iqembu lalinakho konke elalikudinga ukuze lenze ama-prototypes ambalwa asheshayo. Abaklami bandize baya esikhungweni sokuqeqesha sika-Lex eChula Vista, CA ukuze uGillette asebenzise igiya elisha ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
Isixazululo sokuklama, ifomu elibaziwe legobolondo eliqinile elimnandi elinokuxhumana okuncane kobuso. Kusetshenziswe isiphetho se-patina esiyingqayizivele ukuze kunikeze impendulo ethintekayo futhi kunanela kokubili isitayela esinesibindi sezingubo zamehlo kanye no-Gillette ngokwakhe.
Ngaphandle kokungabaza u-Elexis Gillette udlala isethi ebanda kunazo zonke zezibuko emhlabeni wethrekhi nenkundla!
