Gerda Steyn het die meeste van haar voorbereiding vir vanjaar se Olimpiese marathon in die Franse Alpe gedoen.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Van die bitter koue en dun lug van die Franse Alpe tot die geweldige hitte en humiditeit van Dubai \u2013 Gerda Steyn het alles gedoen wat sy glo nodig is om vir die Olimpiese marathon in Tokio voor te berei.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steyn, wat op die oomblik nog in Dubai is, sal op 7 Augustus haar droom bewaarheid deur aan die vrouemarathon op die Olimpiese Spele deel te neem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea sy is tevrede met haar voorbereiding en dat alles tot nou toe goed verloop het. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

Gerda Steyn het die afgelope vyf dae in Dubai geoefen voordat sy binnekort na Tokio vertrek om op 7 Augustus aan die marathon deel te neem.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk sien nou baie uit.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

Gerda Steyn koel af in die Dubaise hitte met sy ho\u00eb humiditeit, waar sy tans besig is om haar voorbereiding vir die Olimpiese Spele af te sluit.<\/div>\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sy en haar man, Duncan Ross, was sewe weke lank in die Alpe. Dit is waar sy die meeste van haar voorbereiding gedoen het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea sy het haarself gereeld daaraan herinner om nie net op die Spele te fokus nie, maar om die hele aanloop tot Tokio te geniet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steyn oefen die afgelope paar dae in Dubai, en s\u00ea dit was van die begin af haar plan om haar voorbereiding in Dubai af te sluit. Dubai is warmer as Tokio en die humiditeit is meestal 100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea dit bly maar teleurstellend dat haar geliefdes nie daar kan wees nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDuncan was met elke oefenlopie daar vir my. Hy was deel van my reis na die Spele en ek sou hom graag by die eindstreep wou h\u00ea, maar ons het geweet dit is hoe dit sal wees.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea haar familie het beplan om in 2020 in Japan vakansie te hou en haar by die marathon te ondersteun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAl daardie planne kon nie plaasvind nie, maar ek weet hulle dra my in hul hart en ek dra hulle in my hart.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea daar is baie vroue met \u2019n baie goeie kans en sy kan net op haar eie voorbereiding vertrou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk sien daarna uit om te kyk hoe dit gaan uitspeel en om die beste uit myself te kry.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steyn s\u00ea die atlete van Oos-Afrika bly die gunstelinge, maar daar is goeie atlete van \u00adoor die w\u00eareld heen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlmal wat op die wegspringstreep staan, het \u2019n kans.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy s\u00ea die uitstel van die Spele het \u2019n groot invloed op almal se planne gehad, en \u2019n mens moes jou kop op die regte plek hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNiemand het toe geweet ons gaan vanjaar nog met inperkings sit nie,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die marathons wat sy gedurende die inperking gehardloop het, het haar op \u2019n manier vir die Spele voorberei omdat daar ook nie toeskouers was nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlmal besef nou weer hoe spesiaal groot byeenkomste is en dat atlete dit nie net as vanselfsprekend moet aanvaar nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steyn het haar eerste groot wedloop in 2018 gewen toe sy die Twee Oseane-wedloop gewen het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2019 het die sportw\u00eareld van haar kennis geneem toe sy die Twee Oseane \u00e9n die Comrades in een jaar gewen het en \u2019n nuwe rekord in die Comrades opgestel het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haar droom was toe om vir die Olimpiese Spele te kwalifiseer \u2013 en op Saterdag 7 Augustus sal di\u00e9 plaasmeisie van Bothaville wegspring met die wete dat nie net haar familie haar in hul hart dra nie. Die hele land sal hoop dat di\u00e9 goue meisie van die Vrystaat \u2019n welverdiende medalje huis toe bring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
