Ma mua o nā pāʻani Paralympic ma Tokyo o ka mahina e hiki mai ana, ua hoʻolaha ka mea ʻauʻau o US ʻo Becca Meyers i ka Pōʻalua ua haʻalele ʻo ia mai ka hoʻokūkū, e kaʻana like ana ua hōʻole pinepine ke Kōmike 'Olumepika a me ka Paralympic o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa i kāna mau noi no "kahi kūpono kūpono a pono" e loaʻa kahi kōkua mālama o kāna koho ʻana, e hāʻawi ana iā ia i "ʻaʻohe koho" akā e hoʻi i hope.

I nā ʻōlelo i kaʻana ʻia ma kāna Twitter a me Instagram, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Meyers - he kuli ʻo ia mai ka wā hānau a makapō pū kekahi - ua pono ʻo ia e hoʻoholo i ka hoʻoholo "gut-wrenching" e haʻalele i nā pāʻani ma hope o kona hōʻole ʻia i ka hiki ke lawe ʻo kāna mea kōkua pilikino, makuahine Maria, i Iapana.

"Ua huhū wau, ua hoʻohoka wau, akā ʻo ka mea nui loa, kaumaha wau no ka lilo ʻole ʻana i moho no koʻu ʻāina," i kākau ʻo Meyers i kāna ʻōlelo ma Instagram, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana aʻe ma kahi o ka ʻae ʻana i kēlā me kēia ʻaleʻale i kā lākou PCA ponoʻī ma Tokyo, 34 āpau. ʻO nāʻauʻau Paralympic - ʻeiwa o lākou i hōʻino maka ʻia - e kaʻana like i ka PCA like ma muli o nā pilikia palekana COVID-19. "Me Covid, aia nā hana palekana hou a me nā palena i nā limahana kūpono ʻole ma kahi," kākau ʻo ia, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana, "ʻo ia nō, akā he PCA hilinaʻi ka mea nui naʻu e hoʻokūkū."

ʻO Meyers, he ʻeono manawa mekala Paralympic, i hānau ʻia me ka maʻi Usher, kahi ʻano e hoʻopili i ka ʻike a me ka hoʻolohe ʻana. I kahi op-ed i paʻi ʻia ma ka Poalua e USA I kēia lā, 'ōlelo ka mea haʻuki 26 makahiki "ua hoʻoikaika ʻia ʻo ia e lilo i ʻoluʻolu i nā wahi ʻoluʻolu ʻole" - me ke komo ʻana i ka pale makakiʻi a me ka hoʻoliʻiliʻi nohona ma muli o ka maʻi maʻi COVID-19, ka mea e kāohi i kona hiki ke heluhelu i nā lehelehe - akā ʻo ka ʻO nā pāʻani Paralympic "i manaʻo ʻia he puʻuhonua ia no nā mea pāʻani me ke kino kīnā, kahi hoʻokahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻokūkū ma ke kahua pāʻani, me nā pono āpau, nā pale, a me nā ʻōnaehana kākoʻo." (Pili: Ke hoʻolālā nei ka poʻe i nā masks maka maopopo DIY no ka poʻe kuli a paʻakikī hoʻi i ka lohe ʻana)

Ua ʻae ka USOPC i ka hoʻohana ʻana o kahi PCA no Meyers mai 2017. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hōʻole ka USOPC i kāna noi "ma ke kumu o nā kapu ʻo COVID-19 e ke aupuni Kepani," ʻo ia ka mea i pāpā aku i nā mea nānā mai nā Pāʻani ʻOlimepika, i mea e hakakā i ka hoʻolaha ʻana o COVID-19 ke piʻi mau nei nā hihia, e like me ka BBC. "Manaʻo nui wau ʻaʻole ka manaʻo o ka hōʻemi ʻana i nā limahana e hōʻemi i ka nui o nā limahana kākoʻo kūpono no nā Paralympians, e like me PCA, akā e hōʻemi ana i ka nui o nā limahana kūpono ʻole," i kākau ai ʻo ia i ka Poalua. USA I kēia lā.

Ua hoʻohui ʻo Meyers i ka Pōʻalua pehea ka hiki wale ʻana o PCAs ke ʻae i nā mea pāʻani me ke kino kīnā e hoʻokūkū i nā hanana nui, e like me Paralympics. "Kōkua lākou iā mākou e hoʻokele i kēia mau wahi haole, mai ka papa wai ʻauʻau, ka poʻe ʻimi a loaʻa i kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke ʻai. Akā ʻo ke kākoʻo nui loa a lākou e hāʻawi ai i nā mea ʻaleʻale e like me aʻu nei, ke hāʻawi nei iā mākou i ka hiki ke hilinaʻi i ko mākou wahi - e manaʻo i ka home no ka manawa pōkole aia mākou i kēia wahi hou, kamaʻāina ʻole, "i wehewehe ai ʻo ia. (Pili: E nānā i kēia mea holo kolohe ʻike maka ʻole i kāna ala mua Ultramarathon)

Kinohi ua kiʻi aku i kahi lunamakaʻāinana no ke Kōmike 'Olumepika a me Paralympic o ka US ma ka Pōʻakolu akā ʻaʻole i hoʻolohe. I kahi ʻōlelo i hāʻawi ʻia i USA I kēia lā, ua ʻōlelo ke kōmike, "ʻAʻole maʻalahi nā ʻōlelo hoʻoholo a mākou i hana ai ma ka ʻaoʻao, a kaumaha mākou i nā ʻalapa i hiki ʻole ke loaʻa i kā lākou mau kōkua kākoʻo ma mua," me ka hoʻohui ʻana, "hilinaʻi mākou i ka pae o Kākoʻo mākou e hāʻawi iā Team USA a nānā i mua i ka hāʻawi ʻana iā lākou i kahi ʻike haʻuki maikaʻi i nā manawa ʻoi loa ʻole. "

Ua loaʻa ʻo Meyers i kahi kahe o ke kākoʻo ma luna o ka pāpaho kaiapuni mai nā haʻuki haʻuki, nā luna politika, a me nā pono kīvila. Ua pane aku ka mea pāʻani kinipōpō ʻo US ʻo Billie Jean King ma Twitter ma ka Pōʻakolu, e noi ana me ka USOPC e "hana i ka mea kūpono."

"Kūpono ke kaiāulu kīnā i ka mahalo, ka noho ʻana, a me nā hoʻololi e pono ai lākou e kūleʻa i ke ola," i kākau ʻo King. "He hilahila kēia kūlana a maʻalahi hoʻi e hoʻoponopono. ʻOi aku ʻo Becca Meyers i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi."

ʻO ke kiaʻāina ʻo Larry Hogan o Maryland, ka mokuʻāina home o Meyers, ua like me ia mau manaʻo like i ke kākoʻo ʻana iā Meyers ma Twitter. "He mea hilahila ia ma hope o ka loaʻa ʻana o kāna wahi kūpono, ua hoʻonele ʻia ʻo Becca i kona hiki ke hoʻokūkū ma Tokyo," i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ʻo Hogan i ka Poalua. "Pono ke Kōmike 'Olumepika & Paralympic o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e hoʻololi koke i kāna hoʻoholo."

Ua loaʻa iā Meyers ke kākoʻo mai nā senatoa ʻelua o Maryland, ʻo Chris Van Hollen lāua ʻo Ben Cardin, me ka Senator o New Hampshire ʻo Maggie Hassan a me ka mea hana kuli ʻo Marlee Matlin, ka mea i kapa ʻia "he mea hoʻopūʻiwa," me ka ʻōlelo ʻana he maʻi ahulau "AOLE he kumu e hōʻole ai i ka poʻe [kīnā ʻole] kuleana o nā kānaka ']. (Pili: Ua lanakila kēia wahine i kahi mekala gula ma ka paralympics ma hope o ka noho ʻana i kahi moku ʻona.

A ʻo Meyers hoʻi, ua hoʻopau ʻo ia i kāna ʻōlelo Instagram ma ka Poalua e wehewehe ana ʻo ia "e kamaʻilio ana no nā hanauna hou o ka poʻe ʻālapa Paralympic me ka lana o ka manaʻo ʻaʻole lākou e ʻike i ka ʻeha aʻu i hele ai. Ua lawa." Hoʻomaka ka pāʻani Paralympic ma ʻAukake 24, a eia ka manaʻolana e loaʻa iā Meyers ke kākoʻo a me nā wahi noho e pono ai e hui pū me kāna mau hoa ʻauʻau ma Tokyo.
