1 | Ukraine: Now That Euro 2012 is Over | Okraina: Tapitra ny “Euro 2012″ Ankehitriny! |
2 | When Ukraine was awarded Euro 2012 together with Poland, many saw this as a chance to promote Ukraine's image as a European country. | Raha Okraina no nahazo nampiantrano ny “Euro 2012″ niaraka tamin'ny Polonina, maro no nahita azy io ho fotoana anararaotana hanatsarana ny endrik'i Okraina amin'ny maha-firenena Eoropeana azy. |
3 | This, however, has not been easy. | Saingy tsy mora izany. |
4 | The preparations for the tournament were overshadowed by economic difficulties, strained international relations due to the imprisonment of the former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko (see the GV post here), and a number of other controversies, the most damaging, perhaps, being the allegations of anticipated racism at the tournament coming from the UK media (see GV post here). | Takon'ny fahasarotana ara-toekarena, ny fifanolanana teo amin'ny sehatry ny fifandraisana iraisam-pirenena noho ny fanagadrana ny praiminisitra teo aloha Yulia Tymoshenko (jereo eto ny lahatsoratra GV), sy ireo adi-hevitra hafa ankoatr'ireo efa voatonona, ary ny tena manimba angamba, ny filazana fa mety hisy ny fanavakavahana ara-pirazanana mandritra ny lalao izay notaterin'ny gazety britanika (jereo eto ny lahatsoratra GV) ny fanomanana ny lalao. |
5 | The negative image stuck so quickly that some entrepreneurs even decided to capitalize on the perception of Ukraine as a dangerous place. | Ilay endrika matroka no niraikitra avy hatrany ka nahatonga mpandraharaha sasany hanapa-kevitra ny hametraka an'i Okraina ho toy ny firenena mampidi-doza. |
6 | In reaction to bad media as well as the perceived shortcomings in preparations on the ground, Ukrainians in the Euro 2012 host cities organized several grassroots initiatives aimed at presenting the country as a welcoming, modern and comfortable place, offering free accommodation, English-language assistance, free tours around Kiev, and help to foreign journalists covering the tournament (see this GV update for details). | Ho setrin'ireo filazalazana ratsy ataon'ny media sy ireo tsy fetezana tsapa nandritra ny fanomanana teo an-toerana, nandray an-tanana nanangana tetikasa maro tao an-toerana ireo Okrainiana tany amin'ny tanàna nampiantrano ny Euro 2012 mba hampiseho ny fireneny ho toy ny toerana mahay mandray olona, maha-te-honina sy maoderina, mampiantrano maimaipoana, misy mpandray vahiny amin'ny teny anglisy, fitsidihana maimaipoana miaraka amin'ny mpitarika ao an-tanànan'i Kiev ary fanampiana ny mpanao gazety vahiny amin'ny fitantarana ny lalao (Jereo ny fanavaozam-baovao antsipiriany ato amin'ny GV) |
7 | As the championship culminated in a spectacular Italy vs. Spain match hosted by Kyiv, Facebook users and bloggers gathered and shared impressions of the Euro 2012 experience in Ukraine. | Raha tonga teo amin'ny faratampony tamin'ny fihaonan'i Italia sy Espaina ny fifaninanana nampiatranoan'i Kiev, nanangona sy nizara ireo fihetsem-po tamin'ny niainana nandritra ny Euro 2012 tany Okraina kosa ireo mpisera Facebook sy bilaogera. |
8 | Thus, Facebook user Oleg Palchik (Олег Пальчик) posted a photo of a grateful football fan from Kharkiv: | Araka izany, naneho saripika mpitia baolina kitra mahafinaritra avy any Kharkiv, ity mpisera pejy Facebook Oleg Palchik (Олег Пальчик): |
9 | A football fan in the host city Kharkiv with a sign that reads, “Kharkiv, thank you!” in both Russian and Ukrainian. | Mpitia baolina kitra ao amin'ny faritra Kharkiv miaraka amin'ny takelala milaza, “Kharkiv, misaotra anao aho!” any russe sy ukrainien. |

11 | Tom Garry, an England fan, shared some of his experiences of the Euro 2012 in Ukraine on Redbrickpaper.co.uk: | Tom Garry, mpankafy avy any Angletera, nizara izay niainany nandritra ny Euro 2012 tany Okraina ao amin'ny Redbrickpaper.co.uk: |
12 | …The Ukrainian capital and the venue for July's final, Kiev has been a joy to visit and its people have truly embraced Euro 2012 in every possible way. | … Fahafinaretana ho ahy ny nitsidika Ny renivohitr'i Okraina sady toerana nanaovana ny famaranana tamin'ny 1 Jolay, tao Kiev, sy ireo mponina izay tena nanao araka izay azo natao nandritra ny Euro 2012. |
13 | The daily carnival atmosphere in the city's huge Fan Zone has epitomised everything that is good about football, bringing people of different nationalities together to enjoy the beautiful game without a hint of abuse. | Ny hafanan'ny lalao amam-piravoravoana isan'andro tao amin'ny tanan-dehibe dia nampiseho ireo zavatra rehetra tsara amin'ny baolina kitra, namory ireo olona samihafa fiaviana mba hanararaotra lalao mahafinaritra, tsy misy fiahiahiana amin'ny resaka fanararaotana. |
14 | Significantly, we have seen no reason for any of the concerns regarding racism expressed by the British media prior to the tournament. | Mibaribary, tsy nisy fitaintainana izahay mikasika ilay fanavakavaham-pirazanana nolazain'ny gazety britanika talohan'ny lalao. |
15 | Having seen first-hand the kindness of the locals, their love for football and the excitement that the Euros has brought to their every-day lives, I have drawn the conclusion that everything was blown out of proportion by the press. | Voalohany, nahita ny hatsaram-panahin'ireo mponina ao an-toerana, ny fitiavan'izy ireo baolina kitra sy ny fanentanana fa hitondra soa ao amin'ny fiainany andavan'andro ny Euros, azoko fintinina fa tena ambadiky ny fampitahana nataon'ny gazety ny zava-nisy rehetra. |
16 | A blogger and Facebook user Hanna Hrabarska shared a photo of her apartment where she and her flatmate hosted football fans. She wrote [ru, en]: | Nizara sary ny efitranony raha nandray ireo mpankafy baolina kitra i Hanna Hrabarska bilaogera sy mpisera Facebook niaraka tamin'ny mpiray efitra aminy, nanoratra izy hoe [ru, en]: |

20 | Many Facebook users and bloggers also shared videos of the Dutch fans singing the Ukrainian anthem in the host city of Kharkiv: | Mpisera pejy Facebook sy bilaogera maro ihany koa no nizara horonan-tsary ahitana ireo mpanohana holandey miredona ny hiram-pirenena Okrainiana tao an-tanànan'i Kharkiv: |
21 | Administrators of I Can Help U (speak English in UA) shared a photo of the volunteers of the grassroots initiative “Friendly Ukraine” playing a friendly football game with a team of international fans. | Mpitantana ny I Can Help U (speak English in UA)(afaka manampy anao aho (miteny anglisy ato UA), nizara sarin'ireo mpanampy an-tsitrapo tamin'ny fisantaran-draharaha “Okraina maha-te-ho-namana” izay milalao baolina kitra am-pirahalahiana miaraka amin'ny mpankafy vahiny. |

24 | As the championship neared the end, it became clear that the experience of most fans has been rather positive and racism-free, so that some in the British media even began to call for an apology to Ukraine. | Satria efa nifarana ny fiadiana ny tompon-daka, nihanazava amin'izay fa tsara ny niainan'ny ankabeazan'ireo mpankafy baolina kitra ary tsy misy fanavakavaham-pirazanana, na ny gazety britanika aza nifampiantso hiala tsiny amin'i Okraina |
25 | And although the latest survey data [ru] shows that the image of Ukraine has not improved with the help of Euro 2012, the grassroots initiatives have certainly contributed to improving the experiences of foreign visitors and left positive memories for many. | Na dia nampiseho ny endrik'i Okraina ho tsy mbola nivoatra noho ny Euro 2012 aza ny fanadihadiana farany [ru] fanadihadiana farany [ru], nandray anjara amin'ny fanatsarana kokoa ny fiainan'ireo vahiny mpitsidika ny fandraisana an-tanana natao teny ifotony nataon'ny vahoaka ary nametraka fahatsiarovana tsara ho an'ny maro |
