2 | This post is part of our special coverage London Olympics 2012. | Ampahany amin'ny fandrakofanay manokana ny Lalao Olaimpika ao Londona 2012 ity lahatsoratra ity. |
3 | Guor Marial, an athlete from South Sudan, will be participating in the London 2012 Olympics, but not under his country's flag. | Handray njara anatin'ny Lalao Olaimpika any Londona ilay mpanao fanatanjahantena avy any Sodana Atsimo, Guor Marial, saingy tsy eo ambanin'ny sainam-pirenen'ny fireneny. |
4 | Marial will be competing in the longest race of the Games - the men's marathon - as an independent. | Hifaninana amin'ny lalao hazakazaka lava indrindra anatin'io Lalao io - ny hazakazaka lavitr'ezaky ny lehilahy- amin'ny maha mahaleotena azy i Marial. |
5 | South Sudan is the youngest country in the world. | I Sodana Atsimo no firenena tanora indrindra eran-tany. |
6 | It formally declared independence on 9 July, 2011 and has not been recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as yet. | Tamin'ny 9 Jolay 2011 izy no nambara ofisialy ho firenena mahaleotena ary mbola tsy ankasitrahan'ny Kaomity Iraisam-pirenenan'ny Lalao Olaimpika (IOC). |
7 | Martina Nicolls wrote about Guor on Feast or Famine blog: | Nanoratra momba an'i Guor i Martina Nicolls ao amin'ny Feast na ny bilaogin'ny Hanoanana: |
8 | “Guor Marial will run as an independent athlete in clothing without a country flag or identification. | “Hihazakazaka amin'ny maha mahaleotena azy i Guor Marial, anatinà akanjo tsy ahitàna sainam-pirenena na famantarana. |
9 | He will race under the Olympic flag. | Hihazakazaka eo ambanin'ny sainan'ny Lalao Olaimpika izy. |
10 | The 28-year old will compete in the marathon which takes place on August 12. Marial's country of birth South Sudan, gained independence a year ago and is yet to form a national Olympic committee. | Hifaninana anatin'ilay hazakazaka lavitr'ezaka tanterahana ny 12 Aogositra ilay lehilahy 28 taona. Ny tanindrazan'i Marial, Sodana Atsimo, nahazo ny fahaleovantena herintaona lasa izay dia mbola tsy afaka nanangana kaomitim-pirenenan'ny Lalao Olaimpika. |
11 | His country of current destination is (United States of ) America. | Ny firenena itodiany amin'izao fotoana izao dia Etazonia. |
12 | Marial, a permanent resident in America, is in the process of gaining American citizenship. | Marial, mponina maharitra any Amerika, dia eo an-dalàna hahazoana ny taratasy maha-tera-tany Amerikana azy. |
13 | However he is not yet a US citizen and cannot therefore run under the United States flag.” | Na eo aza izany dia mbola tsy teratany Amerikana ara-dalàna izy ka noho izany dia tsy afaka hihazakazaka eo ambany ny sainam-pirenena Amerikana.” |
14 | Guor Marial will be in London for the men's marathon. | Ho any Londona i Guor Marial ho an'ilay hazakazaka lavitr'ezaky ny lehilahy. |

17 | The IOC initially urged Marial to compete on behalf of Sudan, but Marial refused to represent the country he fled when he was 15 years old. | Tamin'ny voalohany dia nanome soso-kevitra an'i Marial hifaninana amin'ny maha-olom-pirenenan'i Sodana azy ny IOC, nefa nandà hisolotena ilay firenena nandosirany fony izy 15 taona i Marial. |

19 | Guor Marial was born in Southern Sudan at the start of the long-drawn conflict in that country which resulted in the creation of the world's newest country, South Sudan, only last year. | Teraka tany Sodana Atsimo i Guor Marial tamin'ny fiantombohan'ny fifandirana naharitra tanatin'io firenena io izay niafara tamin'ny fananganana ny firenena vaovaon'izao tontolo izao, Sodana Atsimo, vao tamin'ny taona lasa izay. |
20 | Thus, it has not yet established a National Olympic Committee, so it cannot send a team to the Games which open (this) week, which leaves Marial unable to represent his own country. | Noho izany, tsy mbola nahatsangana Kaomitim-pirenena ho an'ny Lalao Olaimpika izy, ary tsy afaka mandefa ekipa any amin'ilay Lalao izay misokatra amin'ity herinandro ity, ka mahatonga an'i Marial tsy ho afaka hisolotena ny fireneny. |
21 | The IOC has suggested that he runs for Sudan, which has invited him to join their team but Marial who lost 28 members of his family in the war has refused. | Nanome soso-kevitra ny amin'ny hihazakazahany ho an'i Sodana ny IOC, izay nanasa azy hiditra ao amin'ny ekipan'izy ireo nefa tsy nanaiky i Marial izay namoy havana niisa 28 nandritra ilay ady. |
22 | “I lost my family and relatives and in South Sudan two million people died,” he said by telephone from Flagstaff, Arizona, USA where he lives. | “Namoy ny fianakaviako sy ireo havako aho ary olona roa tapitrisa ihany koa no maty tany Sodana, ” hoy izy tamin'ny finday avy any Flagstaff, Arizona, Etazonia izay hipetrahany. |
23 | “For me to just go and represent Sudan is a betrayal of my country first of all and is disrespecting my people who died for freedom. | “Ho ahy, ny fandehanako hisolotena an'i Sodana dia famadihako ny fireneko aloha voalohany indrindra ary fanitsakitsahako ireo olona maty ho an'ny fahafahana. |
24 | There are two other athletes who will compete under the Olympic flag: | Misy mpifaninana roa hafa ihany koa handray anjara eo ambanin'ny sainan'ny Lalao Olaimpika: |
25 | As many as 204 countries will be participating at the London Olympic Games opening next week. | Firenena maro 204 no hifaninana amin'ilay Lalao Olaimpika izay misokatra amin'ny herinandro. |
26 | But Philipine van Aanhotl and Reginald de Windt will not be part of any of their contingents. | Nefa tsy ho anatin'ireo delegasiona ireo i Philipine van Aanhotl sy Reginald de Windt. |
27 | They will compete (as) Independent Olympic participants only because they will represent no nation. | Hifaninana (amin'ny) maha mahaleotena azy amin'ny Lalao Olaimpika ihany izy ireo satria tsy misolotena firenena. |
28 | They were citizens of the Netherlands Antilles of the Caribbean Islands, a country that was dissolved on 10th October 2010. | Olom-pirenenan'i Antilles Nerlandey any amin'ny nosy Karaiba izy ireo, firenena izay rava tamin'ny 10 Oktobra 2010. |
29 | Accordingly, the Netherlands Antilles Olympic Committee withdrew its membership of the IOC. | Araka izany, nandrava ireo mpikamban'ny IOC ny Kaomitin'ny Lalao Olaimpika ao Antilles Nerlandey. |
30 | That's how two Olympic-standard athletes were left stranded without a country to represent. | Izany no mahatonga ireo mpifaninana roa mandray anjara eo ambanin'ny sainan'ny Lalao Olaimpika ireo tsy manana firenena hosoloina tena. |
31 | Nick Weldon of Runner's World blog interviewed Marial: | Nanadihady an'i Mariala i Nick Weldon avy ao amin'ny bilaogy Runner's World: |
32 | If I get permission, all I can do is go there and be open-minded. | Raha mahazo famelana aho, ny hany azoko atao dia ny mankany sy malala-tsaina. |
33 | You never know. | Tsy fantatrao mihitsy. |
34 | But right now it's important for me to just be there, to show the world and South Sudanese people. | Nefa amin'izao miteny izao dia manan-danja ho ahy ny fisiako any, hampiseho izao tontolo izao sy ireo mponin'i Sodana Atsimo. |
35 | I am here. | Eto aho. |
36 | You are here. | Eto ianao. |
37 | You are a country. | Firenena ianao. |
38 | You are here. | Eto ianao. |
39 | Which means, next time, 2016, it's not going to be me there alone. | Izay midika fa amin'ny manaraka, 2016, tsy izaho irery no any. |
40 | There are a couple of kids, when they see me this year; it's going to motivate them. | Misy ankizy maromaro, rehefa mahita ahy amin'ity taona ity izy ireo; hanentana azy izany. |
41 | It's going to make me happy if I can see that kind of thing happen. | Ho faly aho raha afaka hahita zavatra tahàka izany mitranga. |
