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!

I seriously trust & wish that you simply each is prosperous in cases like this and the the courtroom procedures usually are are living and so the RIAA can be exposed for any Shylocks that they can and their lawyers/advisers tend to be.
