Mutambi ane mukurumbira Arrhichion anobva kuPhigaleia kumaodzanyemba kweGreece akafa muna 564 BC. Chr. paMitambo yeOlympic mukubata kwemupikisi wake. Zvakadaro, akahwina mutambo wewrestling. Akanga akwanisa kubvarura gumbo rake panguva yekupedzisira. Muvengi wake paakasunungura chibatiso chake mukurwadziwa achibva akanda mapfumo pasi, pakanga patononokerwa neupenyu hwaArrhichion.

Mweya weOlympus: Wakagadzirira Kufira Kukunda Kwako?

Imwe nzvero yakabudiswa muna 1980 yakabvunza vamhanyi vanopfuura zana, kuti: “Unganwa piritsi here kana richigona kukuita shasha yeOlympic asi wofa naro gore gare gare?” Inopfuura hafu yavatambi vakapindura hungu. Ongororo yakafanana ya1993 yevatambi vepamusoro mumitambo yakasiyana-siyana yakawana chinhu chimwe chete (Goldman naKlatz, Rufu muLocker Room II. Chicago, Elite Sports Medicine Publications, 1992, mapeji 1-6, 23-24, 29-39).

Iyo doping scandals inoratidza kuti mhinduro idzi hadzigone kurambwa zvachose. Mumitambo yemakwikwi, vatambi vakawanda vanoda kuisa utano hwavo neupenyu pangozi kuti vahwine. Neiko, ipapoka, Mitambo yeOlympic ichifarikanya mukurumbira wokuva simba rakanaka, retsika munyika ino?

Baron Pierre de Coubertin (1863-1937), muvambi weMitambo yeOlympic yemazuva ano, akati: “Mitambo yeOlympic yezvose zviri zviviri munguva yekare neyazvino uno ine chinhu chimwe chinokosha chakafanana: chitendero. Apo mutambi akaumba muviri wake kupfurikidza nerovedzo yokumhanya somuvezi akaumba chifananidzo, akanga achikudza vamwari. Mutambi wemazuva ano anokudza nyika yake, vanhu vake uye mureza wake. Saka ndinofunga kuti ndaiva zvakarurama kubatanidza kutangwazve kweMitambo yeOlympic nemafungiro echitendero kubvira pakutanga. Ivo vakagadziridzwa uye kunyange kukwidziridzwa nevepasi rose uye democracy inoratidzira zera redu remazuva ano, asi ichiri chitendero chimwechete chakakurudzira vaGiriki vechidiki kuti vaedze nesimba ravo rose mukukunda kwepamusoro pasi pechifananidzo chaZeus ... Chitendero. mune zvemitambo, Religio Athletae, ikozvino zvishoma nezvishoma inopinda mukuziva kwevatambi, asi vazhinji vavo vanotungamirirwa nayo vasingazivi.« (Krüger, A.: »Mavambo eChitendero chaPierre de Coubertin«, Olympians: The International Journal yeOlympic Zvidzidzo, Vol. 2, 1993, peji 91)

Kuna Pierre de Coubertin, mutambo "waive chitendero chine chechi, dzidziso netsika ... asi pamusoro pezvose nemanzwiro echitendero." (ibid.)

Mhemberero dzokuzarura nedzokupfiga dzeMitambo yeOlympic dzinobvumikisa idi iri pasina kupokana kupi nokupi. Ruvara, mapeji, mimhanzi, Olympic Hymn, the Olympic Oath, the Olympic Fire inomutsa manzwiro emufaro wechitendero anopofomadza ziso rakakosha.

Mitambo yeOlympic inoshamisira ya1936 muBerlin, iyo Adolf Hitler akashandisa zvisizvo pakuparadzira kwake, yaive kurudziro yezviratidzwa zvegiga zvemaOlympics akazotevera.

Bhaibheri rinotii?

Murangariro weOlympia wakapesana zvikuru neizvo Pauro anopa zano maKristu ose, kuti: “Musaita chinhu noudyire, kana nenharo dzisina maturo, asi mukuzvininipisa muchirangarira mumwe nomumwe mukuru kwamuri.” ( VaFiripi 2,3:5-12,10 ) “Pakudanana sehama iva nomutsa, iva nomutsa mumwe kune mumwe; mukukudzana tangai kupfuvurana” (VaRoma XNUMX:XNUMX).

Uye Jesu pachake akati: “Kana munhu achida kuva wokutanga, ngaave wokupedzisira pane vose nomuranda wavose!” ( Mako 9,35:9,48 ) “Muduku pakati penyu mose achava mukuru!

“Pindai nesuo rakamanikana! nekuti suwo rakafara nenzira yakapamhamha inoenda kukuparadzwa; uye kune vazhinji vanopinda imomo. Nekuti suwo rakamanikana nenzira nhete inoenda kuupenyu; uye vashoma vanomuwana. ”(Mt 7,13: 14-XNUMX)

Nzira yakapamhama inzira yekuzvida, nzira nhete nzira yekuzviramba: 'Uyo anowana hupenyu hwake acharasikirwa nahwo; uye ani naani anorasikirwa noupenyu hwake nokuda kwangu achahuwana. ”(Mt 10,39:XNUMX)

MuMharidzo yepaGomo, Jesu anotonyanya kutaura kuti: “Kana mumwe munhu akakurova padama rako rorudyi, umupewo rimwe racho.” ( Mateu 5,39:XNUMX ) Kana munhu akakurova padama rorudyi, umupewo rimwe racho.

Uyu musiyano wakakura pakati peOlympian nemweya yechiKristu unobvunza mubvunzo:

Nei vaKristu vakawanda vachitsigira Mitambo yeOlympic?

Muna 1976 Fellowship yeChristian Athletes muUnited States yaive nenhengo dzinopfuura 55. Sangano reAthletes in Action, shumiro yeCampus für Christus, rine vashandi mazana mashanu chete. Pfungwa dzavo dzakadzokera kuMuscular Christianity kuEngland mukupera kwezana ramakore rechi 000 uye dzingadai dzakamborambwa sedzisingafungirwe nemaKristu mazhinji. Thomas Arnold (500–19), mukuru weRugby School muWarwickhire, England, aitenda kuti mutambo wemakwikwi nemakwikwi waive neukoshi hwepamusoro hwemweya. Akanga ari baba vomudzimu vaPierre de Coubertins adudzwa, muvambi weMitambo yeOlympic yemazuva ano. Mitambo yeOlympic yekutanga yemazuva ano yakaitwa muAthens muna 1795.

Ngatitarisei nharo dzinowanzoitwa nemaKristu achifarira mitambo yemakwikwi:

"Mutambo wemakwikwi une hushamwari uye unotamba." Nehurombo, zvakapesana ndezvechokwadi: inorwisa pakadzika kwayo uye kazhinji inouraya yakakomba, kunyangwe ikarwiwa mumweya wehushamwari. Chinangwa chikuru mumutambo ndechekukunda vamwe.

"Mutambo wemakwikwi unokurudzira kururamisira." Zvakaonekwa kuti apo mutambi wepamusoro anokwira, anowedzera maitiro-anoita-maitiro, inonyanya kukosha kuhwina uye kukosha kushoma kwavanoisa pakururamisira. Humwe ufakazi hunopesana nedzidziso yokururamisira: Kunyange kuchikoro, uko mitambo yemakwikwi inomanikidzirwa kuvadzidzi vose, vana vasina tsika dzemitambo vanokurumidza kupedzisira vaita basa rokunze mukirasi yacho yose.

Asi zvakadini nemienzaniso mikuru yomufambiro wakanaka uyo munhu anoona nguva nenguva pakati pevatambi? Pane tsananguro imwe chete yeizvi: Mitambo yemakwikwi haiumbe hunhu, asi inouburitsa. Makwikwi haapi kurudziro yetsika. Pasinei nekupisa kwehondo, vamwe vatambi vanongogara vakavimbika kune hunhu hwavaive nahwo. Zvisinei, izvi hazvitauri nezvemitambo yemakwikwi, asi inotsanangura chete kuti sei mutambo wacho usati wazviparadza zvachose. Asi tiri kuswedera pedyo nepfundo iroro. Nekuti tsika dzechivanhu dziri kuderera kuMadokero.

Urongwa hwaMwari kuvanhu hwaiva kubatana, kwete makwikwi. Nekuti makwikwi anogara achiburitsa vanokunda uye vanokundwa.

"Mutambo wechikwata unokurudzira kubatana." Uyewo kubira bhangi pamwe chete. Kana vavariro huru inopesana naMwari, kushandira pamwe kwose hakubatsiri.

"Tinoda makwikwi kuitira kuti tidzidze kuve vakakundwa zvakanaka." Mwari akasika mumwe nomumwe wedu ane gadziriro yakasiyana yemano. Saka hazvina musoro zvachose kuti tizvienzanise. Tinofanira kuvandudza unyanzvi hwedu kuti tigone kushumira Mwari zviri nani, kwete kuita shasha.

"Iwe haugone kunzvenga makwikwi." Asi: makwikwi emitambo chero ipi zvayo. Makwikwi muhupenyu hwehupfumi, kune rumwe rutivi, haafanire kunge ari makwikwi. Kumhanyisa bhizinesi rangu zvine hutsika, ndisina chishuwo chekukunda vamwe, hausi makwikwi. Budiriro haisi menduru inogona kuhwina mutambi mumwe chete kana timu. Makwikwi anoitika chete kana vaviri kana vanopfuura vanhu kana zvikwata zvinoedza kuve vakundi vega.

"Makwikwi chinhu chakasikwa zvachose." Izvi zvinobuda pachena, asi kune vasina kutendeuka chete.

"Mitambo yemakwikwi inowanzova yekuzvidira, nekuda kwemufaro wemutambo uye kufamba." Kune vamwe, spoilsport yakashata kupfuura murashiki akaipa. Naizvozvo, sarudzo yekutamba kazhinji haisi yekuzvidira sezvatinofunga. Mitambo yakadaro pakati peshamwari inowanzorwiwa zvakatonyanya kudarika makwikwi akarongwa.

Chokwadi kurovedza muviri kunoita kuti ugare wakagwinya. Asi izvi zvinogonawo kuwanikwa pasina makwikwi. Ngozi yekukuvadzwa kwemuviri, kukuvadzwa kwepfungwa uye kwepfungwa kunobva kwadzikira kakawanda.

makwikwi akakamurwa. Anokunda anodada, akakundwa akaora mwoyo. Makwikwi akanyanya, anonakidza uye anoburitsa yakawanda adrenaline. Asi izvozvo hazvifaniri kuvhiringidzwa nomufaro. Munhu wose anogona kugoverana mumufaro chaiwoiwo.

"Muapostora Pauro anoshandisa makwikwi sechiratidzo chekuva muKristu." Muna 1 VaKorinte 9,27:2; 2,5 Timotio 4,7:8; 12,1:6,2-3 naVaHebheru XNUMX:XNUMX Pauro anotaura nezvemakwikwi emuKristu. Anomufananidza nemumhanyi akamirira chishongo chemuchero. Zvisinei, kuenzanisa kunongoreva kuzvipira uye kutsungirira izvo vatambi vanounza kuti vawane chinangwa. Zvisinei, muhondo yechiKristu yokutenda, hapana anokunda nokurasikirwa kwomumwe. Wese munhu anogona kuhwina kana akasarudza kudaro uye oramba aine sarudzo yake. Uye pano vamhanyi vanobetserana zvomenemene mukuwirirana nenheyo inoti: “Takuriranai mitoro yenyu.” ( VaGaratia XNUMX:XNUMX-XNUMX , NW )

Mweya weOlympic munhoroondo

Nepo mitambo yorudzidziso nemitambo zvaiita rutivi rukuru murudzidziso rwavaGiriki, hatiwani chinhu chakadaro pakati pavaHebheru kana kuti vaJudha. Dzidzo yechitendero neyetsika yainyanya kuitika mumhuri.

Basa rezuva nezuva rakanga riri chimwe chinhu chinosimudzira, asi kuvaGiriki chakanga chiri chimwe chinhu chinodzikisira. Kwakanga kusina mitambo kana mitambo yakarongwa mutsika dzechiHebheru. Maari, kurovedza muviri kwaigara kwakabatana nehupenyu hunoshanda. KumaGiriki, runako rwaiyera, ndosaka vatambi vaikwikwidza mumaOlympics vasina kupfeka. Kune vaHebheru, kune rumwe rutivi, utsvene hwakanga hwakanaka uye hunodzivirirwa nezvipfeko. Maonero maviri enyika akasiyana zvachose.

Mukutaura kwevanhu, gadziriro yedzidzo yechiGiriki yakabudisa budiriro yakabudirira. Zvisinei, mudzimu wokurwa wechiGiriki wakazvisimbisa umene pakupedzisira wakaderedza Girisi. VaRoma vakanga vatova muzana remakore rechipiri BC. akatanga kutora rutivi muMitambo yeOlympic uye zvino, achikurudzirwa nouyu mudzimu, akapfuuridzira mitambo yokurwa yavose. Isu tese tinoziva nezve gladiator kurwa uye kuvhima mhuka munhandare yeRoma. Zvimiro zvakaipisisa zvakangorambidzwa mupesvedzero yechiKristu.

MuRima Middle Ages, zvisinei, tinowana mudzimu wokurwa mukuzvinyima kwamamongi uye mukuzvibata. MaKristu aitambudzwa akanga asisafi mumitambo yenhandare yeRoma, asi mumaoko evarwi. Nema knights, mutambo wekurwa uri muchimiro chemakwikwi unoonekwa zvakare.

MuReformation tinowana mukana wakakura uchipokana nekuzvinyima, monasticism nemitambo yemakwikwi. Iye zvino chiremerera chebasa chakasimbiswa zvakare. Bva Luther aitsigira mutsimba, fenzi, uye gymnastics sedziviriro pakusaita basa, utere, uye kubhejera. Kunyangwe Melanchthon aitsigira mitambo nemitambo, kunyangwe kunze kwezvikoro zvedzidzo.

Kurongeka kwemaJesuit kwakavambwa naIgnatius Loyola muna 1540 kwakasimudzira mudzimu wokurwa nemakwikwi akawanda evoruzhinji. Mirairo, mamakisi, mibairo uye mibairo yakaita basa guru muzvikoro zveKatorike kubvira ipapo. Mwenje wemweya wekurwa weHellenistic wakapfuura kubva kune knight kuenda kumuJesuit.

Kumuka nekukurumidza

Kwakanga kusati kuri kutozosvikira rumutsiriro rukuru muNorth America, kutanga muna 1790, apo zvikoro zvakabuda kuti zvakanga zvisisina nzvimbo muzvidzidzo zvavo zvemitambo nemitambo. Kurima gadheni, kukwira makomo, kukwira bhiza, kushambira uye mabasa emaoko akasiyana-siyana zvakapihwa sechiyero chemuviri kuzvidzidzo zvedzidziso. Asi rumutsiriro rwakagara kwenguva pfupi.

The downward spiral

Muna 1844 iyo yemuenzaniso Oberlin College yakafuratira uzivi hwedzidzo iyi uye yakadzoreredza gymnastics, mitambo nemitambo pachinzvimbo. ChiKristu chemhasuru chadudzwa pamusoro apa chakavamba kutekeshera muzvikoro zvose zvePurotesitendi. Pasi pesimba reSocial Darwinism - »kupona kwevakasimba kwazvo (vakasimba kwazvo vanopona)« - mitambo yakaita senhabvu yeAmerica yakatanga, umo makave nerufu rwakati wandei pakutanga kwezana ramakore rechi20. Chekupedzisira, eugenics yakanangana nekukwenenzvera vanhu genetic material kuburikidza nekusarudza. Runako nesimba zvakava chitendero zvakare, mumweya wemaOlympics. The Third Reich yakaona kwaizotungamirira. Murume weAryan ndiye aive munhu wemweya uyu. Vasina simba, vakaremara uye vaJudha vaifanira kubviswa zvishoma nezvishoma kuburikidza nemisasa yekuparadza uye euthanasia.

Sezvineiwo, kurovedza muviri kwevatambi uye vana vechikoro kwagara kwakabatana nemauto echiuto.

Mweya uyu unoramba uripo uye unoonekwa zviri nyore muMitambo yeOlympic, nhabvu, mhete yetsiva, Formula 1, makwikwi erunako, mapeji emimhanzi, kurwa kwemombe, Tour de France nemamwe makwikwi.

Mudzimu weOlympia unopfuurira kukwevera maKristu mazhinji mumvura dzine ngozi norwiyo rwawo rwesaini kuitira kuti kutenda kwavo kugoputsikirwa nechikepe. Nemhaka yokuti mumakwikwi vanoita zvakapesana chaizvoizvo neizvo muKristu anodanwa kuita: “Munhu wose anoda kunditevera anofanira kurega iye amene nokuchiva kwake, atore muchinjikwa wake anditevere munzira yangu.” ( Mateo 16,24:XNUMX ) Mashoko Akanaka Akanaka. Jesu akafamba munzira yekuzviramba, yekuzvipira, kupfava nekuzvininipisa, kusaita zvechisimba nekushandira. Mweya uyu waigara uchinzwikwa mumashoko ake, zviito netsitsi pasina mutsauko. Nenzira iyi chete aigona kuita kuti rudo rwaMwari ruvimbe kwatiri. Tinodanwa kuti tirege kukamhina kumativi ose, kuti tisapisa kana kutonhora, asi kuti tizadzwe zvizere noMweya waMwari.

Chinyorwa ichi chinodzokorora pfungwa dzakakosha kubva mubhuku rake, neruremekedzo rwemunyori Barry R. Harker Inoshamisa Moto, ChiKirisitu uye Kusimuka Kwemazuva Ano Olympism pamwe chete uye yakawedzerwa nevapepeti nedzimwe pfungwa.
