2 | Puerto Rico's Women's National Basketball Team earned its first medal ever [es] in the Pan American Games held recently in Guadalajara, Mexico, after beating Mexico 85-67 in the gold medal match. | Sambany ny Ekipa Nasionaly Basketball Vehivavy ao Porto Riko no nandrombaka ny meday volamena nandritra ny fifaninanana Pan Amerikana natao tao Guadalajara, ao Meksika vao haingana, taorian'ny fandreseny an'i Meksika tamin'ny isa 85-67 nandritra ny lalao famaranana. |
3 | Blogger and sports journalist Rafael Díaz Torres wrote a noteworthy article in the blog Comentario Deportivo Boricua [es] in which he offers an interesting critique on the mainstream media coverage of this historic event. | Bilaogera sady mpanao gazety ara-panatanjahan-tena, Rafael Díaz Torres namoaka lahatsoratra mendrika tao amin'ny bilaogy Comentario Deportivo Boricua [es] izay itsikerany ny fandrakofan'ny gazety mahazatra itony hetsika manantantara itony. |
4 | The moment of the women's team victory is captured in this youtube video posted by user theliontree: | Azo an-dahatsary ao amin'ny youtube navoakan'ny mpisera theliontree ny fotoam-pandresen'ny ekipa vehivavy: |
5 | In his post, Rafael states that we must rethink how we think of women athletes in the Island: | Ao amin'ny lahatsorany i Rafael no mametraka ny tsy maintsy hieritreretana indray ny fomba fieritreritsika ny vehivavy atleta ao amin'ny nosy: |
6 | These 12 women are part of the Puerto Rican sports flag and their triumphs are as valuable as the ones obtained by the men's version of the Puerto Rican national team. | Anisan'ny mpitondra ny faneva PortoRikana ireo vehivavy 12 ireo ary manandanja tahaka ny fandresen'ny ekipa nasionaly lehilahy PortoRikana ihany koa ny fandreseny. |
7 | Their victory should motivate us enough to keep working in tearing down gender barriers. | Tokony ho ampy handrisika antsika hanohy ny fandravana ny fanavakavahana ny fandresen'izy ireo. |
8 | This gold medal also forces us to rethink how we interpret, analyze and cover women sports. | Mandrisika antsika hahatsiaro ny fomba nandraisantsika, sy nandalinantsika ary ny fomba nitantarantsika ny fanatanjahantena vehivavy noho ity meday volamena ity. |
9 | He remarks on the differences between how the men and women's teams are referred to: | Nanamarika ireo fahasamihafana amin'ny fomba fanaovan'ny ekipa lehilahy sy ny ekipa ny vehivavy fanatanjahantena izy: |
10 | We have the bad habit of using the label “feminine” when referring to the women's basketball team. | Manana fahazaran-dratsy isika rehefa mieritreritra “vehivavy” raha miresaka ekipa vehivavy basketball. |
11 | This does not happen with the masculine version of the team. | Tsy misy izany ho an'ny ekipa lehilahy. |
12 | This way of expressing ourselves is unjust as it describes the men's version as the “National Team” and the women's as the “Feminine National Team”, indicating that basketball is a man's field, where we start from the premise that only men participate in it. | Tsy rariny izany fomba fijerintsika izany ny amin'ny fandraisana ny lehilahy ho toy ny “Ekipam-pirenena” ary ny vehivavy ho toy ny “Ekipam-pirenena Vehivavy” kosa, sy ny filazana fa taranja ho an'ny lehilahy ny basketball, sady nolazaina tany am-boalohany fa ny lehilahy ihany no mandray anjara amin'izany. |
13 | He also criticizes the fact that in the press many women athletes are portrayed as sexy celebrities: | Nitsikera ny zava-misy amin'ny gazety koa izy, mampiseho ny vehivavy atleta maromaro ho toy ny “sexy” malaza: |
14 | Being selective and including very suggestive and provocative photos (for example, photos in El Nuevo Día about Yarleen Santiago for beach volleyball) must be unacceptable in 2011 and the immediate future. | Izay nofantenina sy anatina sary mahalasa fisainana sy mihantsy (ohatra, sary tao amin'ny El Nuevo Día momba an'i Yarleen Santiago tamin'ny beach volleyball) dia tokony tsy azo ekena amin'izao taona 2011 sy amin'ny hoavy manaraka izao. |
15 | Ultimately, he says, women athletes must be celebrated as much as men athletes are: | Farany, nilaza izy fa tokony hankalazaina tahaka ny atleta lehilahy ihany koa ny atleta vehivavy: |
16 | The outpour of emotion for our men athletes must be replicated for our women athletes, who facing greater difficulties than men, enter the sports field or contest to represent us with the same love and effort. | Tokony ampiharina amin'ny vehivavy vehivavy ihany koa ny fananana fihetseham-po hita amin'ny atleta lehilahy, ny vehivavy izay miatrika olana lehibe kokoa noho ny lehilahy, ny amin'ny firotsahany amin'ny sehatry ny fanatanjahantena na fifaninanana mba hahitana azy ireo ho manana fitiavana sy ezaka mitovy ihany koa. |
17 | Raúl Feliciano Ortiz, from Revista Cruce [es] also wrote an article on the subject in which he comments on the coverage of the women's basketball team compared with the men's team. | Raúl Feliciano Ortiz, avy ao amin'ny Revista Cruce namoaka lahatsoratra momba izany lohahevitra izany izay nanehoany hevitra mikasika ny fitantarana ny ekipa vehivavy basketball raha oharina amin'ny ekipa lehilahy. |
18 | If we think that this team's victories were similar to the men's victory in 2004 over a team from the United States [at the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece], we'll see that the coverage's disparity is abysmal. | Raha mihevitra isika fa mitovy ny fandresen'ny lehilahy ny ekipa avy ao Etazonia tamin'ny taona 2004 [nandritra ny Lalao Olimpika tao Athènes, Grèce] ity fandresen'ny ekipa vehivavy ity, mety hahita isika fa lehibe dia lehibe ny tsy fitovian'ny fitantarana amin'ny fampahalalam-baovao. |
19 | When the men won over Team USA in 2004 there were multiple news stories, special segments and even posters inserted in the newspapers of a team that eventually did not even reach the semifinals of the Olympic tournament. | Raha nandresy ny ekipa USA ny lehilahy tamin'ny taona 2004, nisy ny fitantarana vaovao marobe , sehatra manokana ary indrindra sary lehibe natao tamin'ny gazetin'ny ekipa izay tsy tonga tany amin'ny atsasa-dalana akory anefa nandritra ny fifaninana Olaimpika. |
20 | The women had to win gold to get similar coveage and even then, it has not be the same. | Nandrombaka ny volamena ny vehivavy mba hahazo fitantarana mitovy tahaka izany kanefa tsy nitovy akory ny fitantarana niseho. |
21 | In the end, he wishes that this may only be the first of many medals for the women's team: | Farany, maniry izy fa tsy ity ihany no medaily azon'ny ekipa vehivavy fa mbola ho marobe: |
22 | I hope that that this medal is not only the first, but part of a change of the Puerto Rican world view. | Inoako fa tsy ity medaily voalohany ity ihany , fa anisan'ny manova fijerin'izao tontolo izay an'i Porto Riko. |
23 | There are some good signs; let's hope it is not only a passing fad. | Maro ny fambara tsara; manàna fanantenana fa tsy fandalovana fotsiny iny. |
24 | Congratulations! | Arahabaina! |
