Olimpíadas do desânimo

Sylvia Colombo

Quatro dias, nenhuma medalha. E mais, poucas esperanças de que esse quadro mude. O esporte olímpico argentino atualmente é um desastre, desproporcional à abundante cobertura televisiva vinda de Londres. A cada momento em que ligo a TV, é uma nova derrota: “fulano de tal caiu no judô”, “o hóquei perdeu outra vez”, “cordobesa decepciona na natação”, “sem chances na ginástica”, e por aí vai.

Mas não foi sempre assim. Durante o peronismo, nos anos 40, o esporte era altamente incentivado pelo governo e a Argentina era líder na América Latina. Segundo o colunista Ezequiel Fernandes Moores, do “La Nación”, o esporte olímpico argentino sempre foi aristocrata, e a primeira medalha de ouro veio no pólo, em 1924. Mesmo assim, havia um estímulo generalizado, através dos Torneios Evita. Depois da década de 1950, quando o futebol passou a concentrar mais atenção de todas as classes, as outras modalidades passaram a sofrer o abandono, e a Argentina foi superada, primeiro por Cuba, depois pelo Brasil. De 1952 a 2004, o país não ganhou nenhuma medalha de ouro. Curiosamente, naquele ano, em Atenas, quebrou o jejum em dose dupla, ganhando no futebol e no basquete.

Em Londres, as esperanças são ínfimas. “O futebol está fora, o basquete está velho e o hóquei feminino, em fase de renovação. Eram os esportes coletivos em que mais chances tínhamos”, diz Moores. As expectativas estão concentradas em pouquíssimos talentos, como o tenista Juan Martin del Potro, uma das duplas de remo e… ninguém mais. É claro que zebras acontecem, mas, por enquanto, parece improvável.

As TVs, porém, parecem não desistir, e acompanham os argentinos em todas as partes. É uma pena, porque os jogos como um todo são desprezados. Apenas nos flashes dos intervalos pode-se ver a façanha de Phelps, os gols do Brasil ou a espetacular performance dos chineses. OK, toda cobertura de olimpíada é bairrista, e a da TV brasileira não é diferente. O que desanima no caso argentino é que as chances de êxito são mínimas, mas mesmo assim há imagens, replays e comentários de tudo. Os jogos viram uma maratona arrastada e meio deprimente. Que falta faz um Messi!

  2. That makes it the obligation on the particular person currently being slandered through unsubstantiated should certainly disprove these people? I might declare that Steve Kass features nasty traveling by air apes residing inside of his or her butt, and yes it would be the duty to undergo an agonizing community rectal test for you to disprove typically the state. This can be a game liberals like to have fun with, because their very own growing media lapdogs is likely to make anything state they want on page 1 as well as pic a rectification on-page 12 (if on all). In case you include almost nothing within the dude, these kinds of unsubstantiated distortions just present you with the ones such as you possibilities to advertize smudges. You know that that can compare with to promises, nevertheless, you utilize them to try and demolish the many adversaries within your understanding of “the higher fine. micron However I know you are outraged from the requires to get Obama to push out a the college transcripts or perhaps the satisfy his or her guarantees about supervision transparency.
