Uta Abe: Unelmat murskattu, mutta ei murheita – Judoelämän opit!

Uta Abe Diyora Keldiyorova - Hifumi Abe - hännen menestyksensä - judo - kilpailijat - olympialaiset - Paris 2024 - Uta Abe

Uta Abe karkasi voittoa, mutta muista – joskus voitto on vain yksi ippon!

Paris 2024 olympialaiset eivät sujuneet Japanin Uta Abe:lle toivotulla tavalla, kun hän kohtasi Uzbekistanin Diyora Keldiyorovan naisten -52 kilon judo-ottelussa. Kalleinkin kisaaja voi kaatua, ja niin kävi myös Uta Abe, joka oli viime olympialaisten mestari ja aitiopaikan suosikki. Toisessa erässä tapahtui yllätys, kun Keldiyorova johdatti ottelua ja onnistui lopulta viemään Abe:n pelin ippon-voittoon. Katsojat jäivät sanattomiksi, ja monet urheilufanit ympäri maailman harmittelivat, että Abe:n unelma kultamitalista murskautui niinkin aikaisessa vaiheessa turnausta.

Uta Abe ei kuitenkaan ole yksin pettymyksissään. Hänen veljensä, Joshiro Abe, joka itse myös taistelee 73 kilon sarjassa, kohtasi samankaltaisen kohtalon. Sekä Uta että Joshiro olivat molemmat pettämättömiä voimia aikaisemmissa kisoissaan, mutta Pariisi ei antanut heille samaa armoa. Tämä tekee heidän havaittavasta kilpailuympäristöstään entistä kiperämmän. Japanilaiset judokat ovat tunnettuja kivikovasta harjoittelustaan, mutta kisa on arvaamaton – voittaa voivat niin supertähdet kuin uudet tulokkaat.

Konkreettisena esimerkkinä, että jocuja voi painia yllättävässä ilmapiirissä, on Chelsie Giles, brittiläinen judoka, joka tippui heti ensimmäisessä erässä. Judo on taito, jossa joukkueen ihmisen mieli ja fyysinen valmius ovat kytköksissä toisiinsa. Huolimatta suurista odotuksista ja ennakkosuosikeista, joka erä tuo omat riskinsä – jokainen ottelu on uusi mahdollisuus tai haaste. Judo ei ole pelkkiä voittoja ja häviöitä, vaan myös arvokkaita opetuksia itseluottamuksesta ja mielen rauhasta.

Vaikka Uta Abe:n matka tuli päätökseensä aikaisessa vaiheessa, hänen uransa on kaukana päätöksestä. Judon kaltaisessa intensiivisessä urheilulajissa jokainen urheilija tietää, että yksi häviö ei ole maailmanloppu, vaan uuden mahdollisuuden alku. Abe voi käyttää tätä kokemusta tulevaisuudessa oppimisen työkaluna, sillä jokainen tappio on askel kohti mahdollista voittoa. Kepit selässä ja silmät kohti seuraavia kisoja – me odotamme innolla, mitä tulevaisuus tuo tullessaan!

Lopuksi, tiesitkö, että judo on yksi vanhimmista kamppailulajeista, joka juontaa juurensa Japaniin yli 1300 vuotta sitten? Ja vaikka Uta Abe ei saanut kultaa tällä kertaa, hänen voitto-ottelunsa ja kovat harjoitukset ovat innoittaneet nuoria judokoja ympäri maailmaa – todistus siitä, että voittaminen ei ole ainut asia, joka urheilussa merkitsee!
