Igra
Doskoro je u Riju vrila krv najbo- ljih sportista. Došli su sa snovima, sa željom da se upišu u istoriju. Ipanema, poznata brazilska plaža, kao da je simbol Igara, Olimpijada u malom. Na njoj se stalno igraju odboj- ka, fudbal, ljudi džogiraju, brzo hodaju… A voda se, kao i sportska sre- ća, stalno menja. Nekad je svetlopla- va, nekad tamnozelena, ponekad mut- na. Ime Ipanema znači reka bez ribe. Baš kaš što su se i neki sportisti vra- tili bez medalje. Ali to je igra. Neki su uhvatili ulov, neki ne. Važno je da se Igre nastavljaju. Za turiste odmah, za paraolimpijce od 7. do 18. septembra u Riju, a za olimpijce u Tokiju za četi- ri godine.
Game
Until recently, the blood of the best athletes pumped through Rio. They came with dreams, with a de- sire to inscribe their names in the history books. Ipanema, Brazil’s famo- us beach, was like a symbol of the ga- mes, the Olympics in miniature. On it, volleyball and football are played con- tinuously, with people jogging, fast walking etc. And the water, like spor- ting fortunes, changes constantly. So- metimes it is light blue, sometimes dark green, and occasionally cloudy. The name Ipanema means river wit- hout fish – just as some athletes also returned without medals. But that is the game. Some caught in the hunt, some didn’t. It is important that the games continue – for tourists, for Pa- ralympic athletes from 7 th to 18 th Sep- tember in Rio, and for Olympians in Tokyo in four years.
