The difficult journey to Olympic success
For Jessica Morgan, a young athlete from New Zealand, a typical day starts early. Most mornings, she gets up at 4:30 a.m., while her family is still in bed, and trains before school. As an elite rower, she is one of the best in her country, and she aims to compete in the next Olympic Games.
Jessica’s weekly schedule is grueling. She trains twice a day, six days a week, and competes in rowing events on the weekends. However, she’s also a normal schoolgirl, and like every other sixteen-year-old at high school, she regularly does her homework, too.
Jessica’s motivation is impressive. She never hangs out with friends or takes a vacation. She isn’t only an amazing athlete – she usually gets good grades in school, too. Of course, it isn’t easy to become successful. Being the best at your sport requires hard work, determination, and the help of family and coaches.
Young athletes’ relationships with their family and coaches can influence their success in the future. Jessica’s parents usually spend hours every week taking her to training and competitions, and they help her to eat a healthy diet. Her coach plans her training and enters her for competitions. But both parents and coach must offer emotional support, too – for example, when Jessica loses a competition or she gets an injury. Luckily for Jessica, she has a good relationship with both her coach and family. But in other cases, these relationships can place too much pressure on young athletes. For this reason, some of them lose their motivation to do well.
For Jessica, the most important factor in her future success is her own desire to win. “I know talented young athletes who give up because they feel lonely without their friends,” she says. “But I prefer not to think negatively.” Jessica believes she is responsible for securing her future success. “It’s my decision to train every morning and go back to it again every afternoon. It’s my decision not to have a social life, and never to take a vacation.” Not everyone can cope with this kind of lifestyle. But each day Jessica moves one step closer to achieving her Olympic dream.

O piscinão da Torre Eiffel
Os termômetros neste início de verão europeu cravaram temperaturas inéditas, insufladas por uma massa de ar quente vinda direto do Saara.
Calejados que estão pela inclemente temporada de calor de agosto de 2003, que varreu a Europa e, só na França, deixou 15000 mortos, vários países ativaram o alerta laranja – o número 3 na escala do perigo que vai até 4. No rol dos mais castigados estão Espanha, Bélgica, Alemanha e França, que deve experimentar o mesmo sufoco de 1947, cujo recorde (médias de 40 graus no dia) nunca foi ultrapassado. E eis que, voilà, os parisienses acharam um jeito de fazer do “inferno”, como definiu a meteorologia local, uma festa. Muita gente se banhou nos chafarizes belle époque e em piscinas temporárias, como a que deu graça ao cartão-postal da Torre Eiffel, para amenizar a canícula . A prefeitura ainda espalhou um arsenal de bebedouros e vaporizadores de água pelos bulevares e, em espaços internos públicos, instalou salas climatizadas. Carros mais antigos e poluentes (algo aferido por um adesivo afixado ao veículo) não podem circular até segunda ordem. Espera-se para os próximos dias temperatura de 40 graus ou mais, e sensação térmica ainda pior. Paris concentra relativamente pouco verde em relação ao tanto de pedras e concreto que acumula, o que faz da cidade uma apoteose arquitetônica de distintos estilos – e uma estufa ao mesmo tempo. Os cientistas veem nessas ondas de calor cada vez mais frequentes, precoces e intensas, um sintoma dos novos tempos de aquecimento global. Enquanto isso, os parisienses reclamam, mas também aproveitam.
