AANSKOULIKE sport bied \u2019n ver\u00adbete stryd tussen die bestes en juigende ondersteuners in die paviljoene, maar met die twee dag lange nasionale oorplantingspele in Port Elizabeth het onderlinge kameraadskap die botoon gevier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daar was geen teken van \u201cstrydspanning\u201d nie onder die sowat 80 deelnemers van oor die land heen wat in 13 sportkodes deelgeneem het \u2013 d\u00edt terwyl di\u00e9 spele as een van die kwalifi\u00adseringsrondes vir die 2019-W\u00eareldoorplantingspele gedien het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En toe kom die re\u00ebn ook nog op die Saterdag, kort nadat die skoot vir die 5 km-stapnommer geklap het. Onder groot aanmoediging vanuit die paviljoene en die ander atlete het die deel\u00adnemers, naderhand sopnat, enduit gestap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n \u2018Ons doen ons bes\u2019 <\/b>\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Eenkant op die veld het die diskusgooiers en baanbeamptes ook die deurdringende re\u00ebn getrotseer. Daar was selfs handdoekies om die diskusse mee af te droog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lynn Landman van Despatch, nieront- vanger, het skaars twee maande gelede met diskusgooi begin, s\u00ea sy afrigter, Nick Human.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEn hierso kom hy en breek die SA rekord in die ouderdomsgroep 40 tot 49, 2 kg-diskus. Die rekord is 21.4 m en hy het nou net 22.4 m gegooi!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Landman glimlag skaam. \u201cOns almal doen maar net ons beste. Ek gaan ook nog gewigstoot en spiesgooi doen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Met sy helder oranje spykerskoene in die hand, gesels Stan Henkeman, hartontvanger, met dr. Heilie Uys, nierontvanger. \u2019n Skouerbesering hou di\u00e9 oud\u00addosent in verpleegkunde as deelnemer uit die byeenkoms, di\u00e9 dat sy daar is as amptelike fotograaf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dis seker jammer dat die re\u00ebn alles kom onderbreek het?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n Die re\u00ebnbringers<\/b>\n<\/b>\n<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNee,\u201d antwoord Henkeman, wat van Kaapstad na die spele in die Baai gekom het, \u201chierdie spesifieke spele gaan nooit oor die individuele deelnemer nie, dit gaan altyd oor die groter geheel. In di\u00e9 geval is dit die re\u00ebn vir Port Elizabeth. Ons is bly ons kon die re\u00ebn bring.\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
Henkeman, ook die voorsitter van die Suid-Afrikaanse Oorplantingsportvereniging (Satsa), verduidelik dat die atlete wat weens die re\u00ebn nie kon deelneem nie, later vanjaar by ander kwalifiseringsbyeenkomste n\u00f3g \u2019n geleentheid sal kry.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlmal wat vandag hier gekwalifiseer het, moet buitendien nog minstens een keer kwalifiseer,\u201d verduidelik hy. <\/p>\n
Die vorige dag, op die Vrydag, het talle oorplantingsatlete hul alles in onder meer swem, tafeltennis, muurbal, fietsry, pluimbal en die 5 km-hardloop gegee.<\/p>\n
Die deurgaanse kameraadskap tussen die wedywerende atlete het skerp opgeval.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnders as in \u2018gewone\u2019 sportwedstryde is dit meer dankbaarheid in aksie vir die tweede lewe wat hulle gekry het,\u201d verduidelik Uys met \u2019n bre\u00eb glimlag.<\/p>\n
\u201cElke tweede jaar kom ons atlete bymekaar wat orgaanoorplantings gekry het. Jy weet, voor hulle by daai punt kom, is hulle vir jare lank baie lank siek, daarom noem ons dit die Celebration of Life Games<\/i>. <\/p>\n
\n Word \u2019n skenker<\/b>\n<\/p>\n
Indien jy \u2019n orgaan- of weefselskenker wil word, is dit die beste dat jy dit heel eerste so aan jou familie en\/of naasbestaandes oordra, s\u00ea Alice Vogt, wat al twee dubbele longoorplantings gekry het. <\/p>\n
\u201cDit onthef jou familie van \u2019n baie moeilike besluit.\u201d<\/p>\n
Registreer ook as \u2019n skenker by die Orgaanskenkingstigting. Bel die stigting by die tolvrye nommer 0800 22 66 11 of besoek www.odf.org.za en\/of Organ
