1 | Croatia's Sports Lesson for Ukraine | Lesona Ho An'i Okraina Ny Fanatanjahantena Kroaty |
2 | Ukraine, with its population of 45 million people, has much to learn from Croatia, population just over 4 million, in terms of organizing affordable and accessible sports activities for children. | Betsaka no tokony hianaran'i Okraina izay misy mponina 45 tapitrisa amin'i Kroasia, izay manana mponina mahery kelin'ny 4 tapitrisa rah resaka fikarakaràna hetsika ara-panatanjahantena ho an'ny ankizy. |
3 | This is one of the conclusions that Denis Oleinikov, a Ukrainian businessman who lives in Croatia with his wife and two children, has recently shared in a Facebook post [ru] comparing the attitudes towards sports in Ukraine and in Croatia. | Io no tsoakevitr'i Denis Oleinikov, Mpandraharaha Okrainaina monina any Kroasia miaraka amin'ny vadiny sy ny zanany roa, tao anatin'ny lahatsoratra iray tao amin'ny Facebook nampitahany ny fihetsika manoloana ny fanatanjahantena any Okraina sy any Kroasia. |
4 | Oleinikov received political asylum in Croatia - which he now calls his “new, cozy and friendly home” - following the 2011 crackdown on his goods-on-demand company that had been printing t-shirts with slogans mocking the Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. | Nahazo fialokalofana ara-politika any Kroasia i Oleinikov - izay antsoiny ankehitriny hoe ” trano vaovao, misy ny ampy sy misy firahalahiana” - taorian'ny famoretana henjana noraisina tamin'ny 2011 nahazo ny orinasany mpanome tolotra araka ny filàn'ny mpanjifa izay manao printy ambony akanjo bà nasiana teny faneva maneso ny Filoha Okrainiana Viktor Yanukovych. |
5 | First, Oleinikov compared the demographics and financial resources of the two countries: | Voalohany, ampitahain'i Oleinikov ny isan'ny mponina sy ny fidiram-bolan'ireo firenena roa ireo : |
6 | […] Ukraine has a much higher level of urbanization. | […] Manana haavo ambony kokoa Okraina amin'ny lafiny tanàn-dehibe. |
7 | We live predominantly in large cities - which means that it is possible to build [sports facilities] that would accommodate […] hundreds of thousands of people. […] | Monina amin'ny tanàn-dehibe malalaka tsara izahay- izay midika fa azo atao tsara ny manangana [foto-drafitr'asa ara-panatanjahantena] izay mety […]amin'ny olona an'hetsiny. […] |
8 | In Croatia, people live mainly in small towns. | Any Kroasia, saika miaina amin'ny tanàna ety ny olona. [ |
9 | […] Our town's population is 10,000 people. | …] 10.000 ny isan'ny mponina ao amin'ny tanànanay. |
10 | There are only about 30 kids my son's age there - [in Kyiv], there'd be more kids his age in just two streets [of any given neighborhood]. | Manodidina ny 30 eo ho eo ny ankizy mitovy taona amin-janako any - [any Kyiv], betsaka ankizy nitovitovy taona taminy ihany tany sarahan'ny làlana roa monja [tany amin'ireo manodidina]. |
11 | In Ukraine, there are [large industrial corporations] that fund not just professional clubs, but also “corporate” sports facilities of a rather high quality. | Misy [orinasam-barotra indostrialy lehibe] any Okraina izay mamatsy, tsy ny klioba manana mpilalao matihanina ihany, fa ireo “fivondronan'ny” sekoly ara-panatanjahantena izay manana kalitao ambony ihany koa. |
12 | My daughter [played tennis] a couple of times at the gym that belongs to the [Odessa-based] Shustov Cognac Factory - they have tennis courts and a swimming pool there, and all is up to the mark. | Ny zanako vavy [nilalao tennis] in-droa tao amin'ny kianja mitafon'ny orinasan'ny Shustov Cognac [any Odessa]- manana kianja filalaovana tennis sy dobo filomanosana ry zareo ao, ary ireo rehetra ireo dia avo lenta avokoa. |
13 | The whole Croatian region doesn't have a swimming pool [that could compete with Shustov's]. | Ny faritra Kroaty rehetra dia tsy manana dobo filomanosana avokoa [izay afaka hifaninana amin'ny an'i Shustov]. |
14 | Local [Croatian] oligarchs are poor beggars compared to their Ukrainian counterparts. […] | Ny [Kroaty] olombitsy mpifehy eo an-toerana dia mpangataka mahantra raha ampitahaina amin' ireo Okrainiana mitovy aminy . […] |
15 | Next, he did a quick assessment of how the two countries fare against each other in sports: | Avy eo, nanao tombana vetivety ny vokatra azon'ireo firenena roa ireo tamin'ny fanatanjahantena izy : |
16 | […] Football, FIFA rankings: Croatia - 9, Ukraine - 48. | […] Baolina kitra, filaharana ataon'ny FIFA: Kroasia - 9, Okraina - 48. |
17 | Basketball, men: Croatia - 16, Ukraine - 50. | Basketball, lehilahy: Kroasia - 16, Okraina - 50. |
18 | Basketball, women: Croatia - 21, Ukraine - 61 (shares this position with Rwanda and Madagascar). | Basketball, vehivavy: Kroasia - 21, Okraina - 61 (zaraina amin' i Roanda sy Madagasikara io laharana io). |
19 | Handball, men: Croatia - 10, Ukraine - 28. | Handball, lehilahy: Kroasia - 10, Okraina - 28. |
20 | Handball, women: Croatia - 18, Ukraine - 22. | Handball, vehivavy: Kroasia - 18, Okraina - 22. |
21 | Ukraine is ahead of Croatia only in winter sports, which isn't surprising as much of Croatia lies in the subtropics :). And not in all winter sports, too - Croats are ahead of us in alpine skiing. […] | Amin'ny fanatanjahantena fanao amin'ny ririnina ihany no mihoatra an'i Kroasia i Okraina, izay zavatra tsy atao mahagaga satria i Kroasia any ambanin'ny Tropika no misy azy -Fa tsy amin'ny fanatanjahantena fanao amin'ny ririnina rehetra akory,-Ihoaran'ny Kroaty izahay amin'ny fikorisana amin'ny ranomandry an-tendrombohitra.

24 | Oleinikov kept wondering about Croatia's enviable athletic achievements. | Sary avy amin'i Pau Barrena, alàlana avy amin'ny © Demotix (26/01/13). |
25 | Then, when his little son got a chance to spend a week at a free-of-charge sports camp organized by his school during spring break, he understood what the key to Croatia's success must have been: | Mitohy manontany tena momba ireo zava-bita atletika mampitsiriritra vitan'i Kroasia i Oleinikov. Rehefa nahazo nandray anjara nandritra ny herinandro tamin'ilay lasy ara-panatanjahantena nokarakarain'ny sekoliny nandritry ny fialantsasatry ny lohataona ny zanany lahy kely, fantany tamin'izay ny fanalahidy tsy maintsy ilain'ny fahombiazan'i Kroasia : |
26 | […] We would drop our son off at 8 AM and pick him up at 3 PM. | […] Tianay ho aterina amin'ny 8 ora maraina ary alaina amin'ny 3 ora hariva ny zanakay |
27 | The city provided sports facilities and lunch […]. | Ny tanàna no mamatsy amin'ny kojakoja ara-panatanjahantena sy ny sakafo […]. |
28 | Sports federations provided the coaches […]. | Ny federasionan'ny fanatanjahantena no manome mpanazatra […]. |
29 | A children's sports psychologist was invited from [Croatia's capital] Zagreb. | Psikology iray ara-panatanjahantena ho an'ny ankizy no nafarana avy any Zagreb [renivohitr'i Kroasia]. |
30 | And FOR A WHOLE WEEK the kids have been joyfully trying different types of sports, for free: football, basketball, volleyball, handball, tennis, ping-pong, karate, fencing (!!!), yachting (!!!), bocce… that's it, I guess. […] | Ary MANDRITRA NY HERINANDRO IRAY MANONTOLO dia mifaly amin'ny fanandramana karazanà fanatanjahantena samihafa ny ankizy, maimaim-poana : baolina kitra, basketball, volleyball, handball, tennis, ping-pong, karate, escrime(!!!), voile (!!!), kanetibe…izay angamba, araka ny fahalalako. […] |
31 | In our “village” (by Ukrainian standards, it wouldn't even be the biggest one), 100 percent of children are involved in extracurricular sports activities. […] | Ao amin'ny “tanàna” misy anay (araka ny fenitra Okrainiana, tsy ho ny ngeza loatra manakory), 100 isan-jaton'ny ankizy no mandray anjara aminà hetsika fanatanjahantena atao ankoatra ny fianarana. […] |
32 | Oleinikov sees a lesson for Ukraine here - and for Ukraine's opposition politicians, too: | Misy lesona ho an'i Okraina sy ireo Okrainiana mpanao politika mpanohitra ihany koa hitan'i Oleinikov eto : |
33 | […] It shouldn't cost too much to reproduce it all in Ukraine. | […] Tsy dia lafo loatra ny manao tahaka itony aty Okraina. [..] |
34 | […] Schools and some municipal organizations could provide gyms. | Tokony hanangana kianja mitafo ny sekoly sy ireo fikambanana monisipaly sasany. |
35 | Dinners can be organized somehow as well. | Karakaraina amin'ny fomba hafa ny sakafo. |
36 | What's needed is that someone has the need to do this. | Olona vonona hanao izany no ilaina. Na dia tsy te-hahalala aza ny fanjakana. |
37 | Even if the state doesn't give a damn. | Ireo mazoto, mpirotsaka antsitra-po, mafàna fo. |
38 | Enthusiasts, volunteers, activists. Finally, one camp like this would bring five times more loyal supporters (from the parents' ranks) to the respected opposition politicians than ten protest rallies would. | Farany, mitondra mpanohana mahatoky ( avy amin'ny ray aman-dreny) avo dimy heny ho an'ireo mpanao politika manana ny hajany izany miohatra amin'izay mety ho azon'ny famoriam-bahoaka miisa folo ny lasy tahaka izao. |
39 | Only this camp has to be organized every six months for five years in a row - and not just once three months before the election […]. | Tokony atao isaky ny enim-bolana mandritra ny dimy taona misesy ny lasy tahaka izao - fa tsy telo volana mialoha ny fifidianana fotsiny […]. |
40 | Some of Oleinikov's readers (and he has over 2,750 Facebook friends and followers) weighed in on the situation with sports in Ukraine - showing little or no optimism, however. | Ny sasany amin'ireo mpamaky an'i Oleinikov (manana namana sy mpanjohy majerin'ny 2.750 izy ao amin'ny Facebook ) dia manindry ny resaka fanatanjahantena any Okraina - kanefa na dia izany aza mampiseho fitokiana kely, na tsy misy mihitsy. |
41 | Aleksandr Yaremenko wrote [ru]: | I Aleksandr Yaremenko dia nanoratra [ru] hoe : |
42 | Denis, children's sports barely exists in our country now. | Denis, efa misy fanatanjahantena ho an'ny ankizy izao aty amin'ny firenentsika. |
43 | It is either the “elite” types of sports that parents pay huge amounts of money for […], or it's pure enthusiasm of [state-funded] coaches who survive on peanuts from the not-so-rich parents. | Na io irony karazam-panatanjahantena ” mamoaka mpilalao mamiratra” irony izay andoavan'ny ray aman-dreny vola be […] na fahazotoan'ny mpanazatra madiodio [vatsian'ny fanjakana vola] izay mivelona amin'ny karama vary masaka omen'ireo ray aman-dreny tsy dia manana loatra. |

45 | People in the well-to-do Europe tend to forget the Ukrainian realities a bit too quickly. | Mirona mankany amin'ny fanadinoana haingana ny zava-misy marina any Okraina ireo manan-katao any Eorôpa. |
46 | Here, people are busy just trying to SURVIVE! | Nefa sahirana mitady izay IVELOMANY ny olona aty ! |
47 | They cannot be bothered with sports and other attributes of the well-to-do West… We've had more than one attempt to apply the [theory of “small deeds”] - and, in most cases, these attempts failed after just a couple of months… (( | Tsy te-hokorontanina amin'ny resaka fanatanjahantena na izay zavatra hafa ataon'ny manan-katao Tandrefana izy ireo… Tsy maintsy nanandrana isika nampihatra ilay [foto-kevitra “hetsika madinika”]- ary, tamin'ny ankamaroany, rava afaka roa volana monja ireny andrana ireny… (( |
