From Running Star to Champion for Peace

  是誰帶領了百年奧運史上最特殊的一支隊伍?

  「Peace, unity through sports,」 a woman from Kenya (肯亞) wrote on a mural at the Olympic Village in Rio。 The barely five-foot-tall woman managed to give an Olympic home to athletes who had none of their own。 She was Tegla Loroupe (泰格拉•洛魯普), the leader of a group of ten displaced athletes, known as the Refugee Olympic Team (難民代表團)。

  一名肯亞女性在里約奧運村的牆上寫道「通過體育實現和平與團結」。這位僅僅五尺高的女性成功地給予了那些無家可歸的運動員一個奧運之家。她就是一支十人的無家可歸的運動員隊,即難民代表團的領導者泰格拉•洛魯普。

  Perhaps no one represents hopefulness in international sport more resolutely than Loroupe。 In the running world, she was celebrated as the winner of the New York City Marathon in 1994 and 1995, the first woman from Africa to win a major marathon, a former world-record holder at the distance of 42.195 km。

  洛魯普在國際體育中帶給人們的希望無人可比。在賽跑界中,她是1994年和1995年紐約馬拉松的冠軍,是第一位贏得重大馬拉松比賽的非洲裔女性,也是此前42.195千米馬拉松的世界紀錄保持者。

  However, Loroupe』s running has been overtaken by her goodwill and activism。 Under the banner of the Tegla Loroupe Peace Foundation, she has organized peace races among tribal rivals (敵對部落), trying to settle conflicts with conciliation (調解) instead of weapons。

  然而洛魯普的賽跑成就已經被她的善舉和行動所取代。在泰格拉•洛魯普和平基金會的組織下,敵對部落間開展了和平競賽,試圖通過調節而非武器來解決爭端。

  In 2014, Thomas Bach (托馬斯•巴赫), president of the International Olympic Committee (國際奧委會), presented Loroupe with an idea of entering a refugee team in the Rio Olympics。 She said, 「I think I have the strength to prove that even small people can do something big。」

  在2014年,國際奧委會主席托馬斯•巴赫向洛魯普表達了在里約奧運會加入一個難民組的想法。洛魯普說:「我認為我有能力證明即使渺小的人類也能做些大事。」

  As a result, five of the refugee Olympic athletes prepared for the Rio Games at a training camp operated by Loroupe in the hills outside Nairobi (內羅畢), the Kenyan capital。 Yiech Pur Biel, an 800-meter runner who escaped from South Sudan (南蘇丹), said, 「Madam Tegla is our mother as well as our leader。 Most of us run because of war。 Madam Tegla gives us a chance for other people to know the history of our lives。 And we can forget what happened before。 We can celebrate。 We can have hope, like everyone else。」

  在她的努力下,在肯亞首都內羅畢外的山上,五個難民奧運選手就在洛魯普運營的訓練帳中備戰里約奧運。從南蘇丹逃離的800米跑步者Yiech Pur Biel說:「泰格拉女士是我們的母親也是我們的領袖。我們中的大多數因為戰爭而奔跑。泰格拉女士給了我們一個機會讓其他人了解我們生活的歷史。然後我們能夠忘記此前發生的不幸。我們可以慶祝。我們可以像其他人一樣擁有希望。」

  On August 5, the refugee Olympians marched in the opening ceremony, carrying the Olympic flag, serenaded by the Olympic anthem (會歌)。 Thanks to Loroupe, they did not disappoint us even though they did not win gold medals。

  在8月5日,難民奧運選手們舉起奧運旗幟,伴著奧運會歌行進在開幕式上。多虧洛魯普,這些運動員儘管未獲金牌卻沒有讓我們失望!
