I loko o kekahi mau pule i hala iho nei, ua hōʻike ʻia nā wahine loea o ka hui USA ma ke ʻano he mau mōʻī wahine o nā mea haʻuki āpau, e lawe ana i nā mekala i ka nui loa ma nā hoʻokūkū 'Olumepika 2016. ʻOiai nā pilikia a lākou i kū ai i loko o nā pāʻani –– mai ka pāpāho moekolohe i ka hoʻomāinoino ʻana i ka pāpaho pāpaho –– ʻaʻole kēia mau wahine i ʻae i kekahi mea e kāʻili i kā lākou kūleʻa i loaʻa.

Ua lanakila loa ʻo Team USA i ka hoʻokūkū 'Olumepika i ka heluʻai holo' ana, me nā kāne a me nā wahine e lanakila ana i ka 121 mau mekala. Inā ʻoe e helu ana (no ka mea, e nānā kākou, ʻo kākou a pau) ʻoi aku ia ma mua o nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe. Mai loko mai o ka huina mekala, he 61 i lanakila i na wahine, a ua lawe na kane i ka home 55. Aole pela.

Iwakāluakūmāhiku o ko ʻAmelike mau 46 mau mekala gula i ʻāpono ʻia i nā wahine –– me ka hāʻawi pū ʻana i nā wahine i nā mekala gula ma mua o nā ʻāina ʻē aʻe ma waho o Pelekane Nui. I kēia manawa he mea kupaianaha.

Pīhoihoi paha ʻoe i ka ʻike ʻana ʻaʻole kēia ka manawa mua i ʻoi aku ai nā wahine ʻAmelika ma mua o kā lākou hui kime kāne ma ka Olumepika. Ua hana lākou i kekahi mau pōʻino koʻikoʻi ma nā Pāʻani Lākana 2012 pū kekahi, e hōʻiliʻili ana i nā medala he 58 i ka nui, hoʻohālikelike ʻia me 45 i lanakila ʻia e kā lākou kāne kāne.

E like me kā mākou makemake i ka holomua o kēia makahiki ma muli o #GirlPower, aia kekahi mau kumu ʻē aʻe i hana maikaʻi ai nā wahine ʻAmelika ma Rio. No ka poʻe hoʻomaka, ʻo kēia ka manawa mua i ka mōʻaukala ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahine i hoʻokūkū ʻia ma Team USA ma mua o nā kāne. ʻO kēlā ratio ponoʻī i hāʻawi i nā wahine i nā kiʻi hou aku ma ka podium.

ʻO kekahi mea i hoʻohui ʻia nā haʻuki wahine hou i ka papa inoa 2016. Ua hoʻomaka ka pôpeku wahine ma ka 'Olumepika i kēia makahiki, a me ke kolepa wahine. Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo NPR ua loaʻa i nā wahine o ka hui USA ka pōmaikaʻi o nā poʻe ʻaleʻale kū hoʻokahi e like me Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky a me Allyson Felix i lanakila i 13 mau mekala i hui pū ʻia. ʻAʻole e hōʻike ʻia ua hoʻonohonoho pū nā pūʻali koa US a me nā pā kula a me nā kinipōpō hīnaʻi i kā lākou iho moʻolelo.

Ma ke ʻano holoʻokoʻa, ʻaʻohe mea e hōʻole i ka pepehi ʻana o nā wahine o Team USA iā ia ma Rio, a ʻo ka wehewehe wale ʻana i kā lākou hana ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopono iā lākou. He mea kupaianaha ka ʻike ʻana i kēia mau wahine hoʻoikaika i ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻike e pono ai lākou.
