E like me ka manawa mau, ua piha ka 'Olumepika i nā lanakila hoʻoluʻu puʻuwai a me kekahi mau mea hoʻopōʻino nui (ke nānā aku nei mākou iā ʻoe, e Ryan Lochte). Akā ʻaʻohe mea i manaʻo iā mākou e like me ke ʻano o nā hoa paio ʻelua i kōkua kekahi i kekahi e hele i ka laina hoʻopau ma ka heihei wahine he 5,000 mau mika.

Inā ʻaʻole ʻoe i poina, ua hui pū ʻo Abby D'Agostino o ka Hui USA a me Nikki Hamblin o New Zealand me ʻehā a me ka hapa mau ʻāpana i koe i ka heihei a ua pau nā kukini ʻelua ma ke ala. Ma mua o ka holo wikiwiki ʻana mai kāna hoa hoʻokūkū hāʻule, ua kū ʻo D'Agostino e kōkua iā Hamblin a hoʻohauʻoli iā ia. A laila, i kahi manawa wale nō ma hope, ua kū ka ʻeha mai kahi ʻeha ma mua iā DʻAgostino, a ua hāʻule ʻo ia i ka lua o ka manawa. I kēia manawa, ʻo Hamblin ka mea i hoʻōki i kāna heihei e kiʻi i kona hoa kukini. ʻO nā kūkini ʻelua, i hui ʻole ʻole ma mua, ʻapo i ka laina hope a haʻalele i ke koena o ka honua i ka waimaka i kā lākou lanakila-ʻaʻole-nā ʻano āpau. (Psst...Eia nā Manawa Hoʻohihi loa mai ka 2016 'Olumepika ma Rio.)

ʻAʻole naʻe ʻo mākou wale nō ka poʻe i mahalo i kā lākou hōʻike haʻuki weliweli. Ma mua o ka pau ʻana o nā pāʻani, ua loaʻa iā Hamblin lāua ʻo DʻAgostino ka makana o ka Fair Play mai ke Kōmike 'Olumepika'Āina (IOC) a me ke Kōmike Pāʻani Pāʻani Pāloko. ʻO ka makana Fair Play, he ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī o ka loaʻa ʻana ma mua o ke gula, ʻike i ka ʻuhane o ka manaʻo ʻole a me ka hoʻokūkū hoʻohālike i nā mea haʻuki 'Olumepika. ʻOiai ʻo ia wale nō ka makana o kona ʻano ma ka papa ʻaina no ka poʻe ʻOlumepika, he hanohano nui ke loaʻa. Hāʻawi ka IOC i ka mekala Pierre de Coubertin-i hāʻawi ʻia he 17 mau manawa i ka mōʻaukala-no ka hōʻike ʻana ma luna a ma waho o ka haʻuki, a ke hōʻike nei kekahi mau nūhou iā D'Agostino lāua ʻo Hamblin e loaʻa pū kekahi i kēia hanohano.

"Manaʻo wau he mea nui loa ia no māua ʻelua ʻo Abbey a me aʻu iho. ʻAʻohe oʻu manaʻo i ala aʻe kekahi o mākou a manaʻo ʻo ia nō ko mākou lā, a i ʻole ko mākou lāhui, a i ʻole ko mākou mau Pāʻani 'Olumepika," wahi a Hamblin i loko o kahi ʻōlelo i ka IOC. "He mau hoʻokūkū ikaika mākou ʻelua a makemake mākou e hele i laila a hana i kā mākou maikaʻi loa ma ke ala." Palekana ia e ʻōlelo i nā hana a Hamblin lāua ʻo DʻAgostino i hoʻoikaika iā mākou āpau e lawe i ka mea maikaʻi loa i ka papaʻaina, me ka nānā ʻole inā loaʻa ʻole kahi makana iā ia.
