"ʻO wai ka hui āu e kūʻai ai no ke Kīʻaha Honua i kēia pō?"

Ua hiki hou mai ka manawa no ke Kīʻaha Honua. He hana mana ia inā he poʻe a puni ʻoe ʻaʻole maʻamau e nānā i ka pôpeku a ʻaʻole maopopo i ka pôpeku, akā hiki ke hoʻololi maʻalahi i nā kumuhana e like me ka piliwaiwai a me ke kuhi ʻana. Eia naʻe, hōʻike ia i ke ʻano pupule o ka poʻe Kina e pili ana i ke Kīʻaha Honua. Inā makemake ʻoe a ʻaʻole paha, i kēia mahina, ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hana me ka ʻole o ka pīhoihoi o ke Kīʻaha Honua ma Qatar.

I kēia lā, e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i ka pôpeku a me ke kaʻa paikikala, ʻelua mau haʻuki e hilinaʻi nei i nā wāwae no ka meaʻai. He aha ke ʻano o ka pilina kupaianaha a me ka ʻike anuanu i loaʻa iā lākou?

He mea kaulana nō hoʻi ka pôpeku a me ke kaʻa paikikala ma ʻEulopa, no laila he mea maʻamau ka makemake ʻana i ʻelua mau haʻuki i ka manawa like ma ʻEulopa. Ma waena o nā mea holo paikikala ʻoihana, ʻo wai ka mea pôpeku maikaʻi loa? ʻO ka pane - ʻo ka mea hoʻokele maikaʻi loa ma ka honua kaʻa i kēia makahiki (pono paha e hoʻohui ʻia kekahi o lākou) ʻo Effie Nepoel, nāna i lanakila i ka Vuelta a me ka World Championships… He mea holo paikikala ʻo ia ma mua o kona "hoʻololi" ʻana i ke kaʻa paikikala. He mea pāʻani pôpeku, ua koho ʻia ʻo ia no ka hui aupuni Belgian U16 i kēlā manawa, akā ua loaʻa iā ia kahi haki a me kahi ʻeha koʻikoʻi i kahi pāʻani intra-team, ka mea i hoʻohaʻahaʻa nui i kona pae hoʻokūkū, a ua hoʻomaha ʻo ia mai ka pôpeku… Hiki i kekahi ke noʻonoʻo i ka ikaika o ka hui pôpeku aupuni Belgian. Hiki ke ʻike ʻia ka pae pôpeku o Effinepoel. Holo nā mea pāʻani pôpeku i nā paikikala i ko lākou manawa kaʻawale, a pāʻani nā mea holo paikikala i ka pôpeku i ko lākou manawa kaʻawale. Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻomaha, loaʻa iā lākou nā hopena hoʻomaʻamaʻa hoʻohui, e pepehi ana i ʻelua manu me hoʻokahi pōhaku.

He aha inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke koho ma waena o nā haʻuki ʻelua? Ma ʻEulopa, ua hui pū ʻia ka pôpeku a me ke kaʻa paikikala - ke pāʻani nei i ka pôpeku ma ke kaʻa paikikala (inoa Pelekane cycle-ball). Ua like ia me ka polo, koe wale nō ka pāʻani ʻana o kekahi ma luna o ka lio a ʻo kekahi e pāʻani ana ma luna o nā paikikala. Ua like ka holo lio a me ka pāʻani ʻana. Manaʻo ʻoe he leʻaleʻa wale nō ia? A laila ua hewa hou ʻoe, he hoʻokūkū hōʻoia kūhelu kēia na UCI. Ua mālama ʻia ka 2019 UCI Indoor Cycling World Championships ma Switzerland. Ua lanakila ʻo Austria i ka hui Kelemania 8:6 a lanakila i ka lole pālule ānuenue.

Ma waho aʻe o ka pōpō paikikala, aia kekahi mau neʻe loea i kapa ʻia ma hope o nā paikikala i nā pāʻani pôpeku, bicycle-kick, malia paha no ka mea ua like kēia hana me ka holo paikikala.

Eia kekahi, ua kono aku ka pāpāho Kepanī i nā mea holo paikikala ʻoihana e hana i kahi hoʻāʻo, a ʻo ka moʻolelo no ke kaʻa paikikala he 100 mika ma ke ala palaki he 9.86s! ʻO Mbappe, ka mea holo wikiwiki loa i ka pôpeku, he palena wikiwiki o 36.7 km/h, ʻo ia hoʻi he 10.2 m/s i ka hoʻololi ʻana. No laila, no ka mamao o 100 mika, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka manawa e lanakila ai ke kaʻa paikikala, a ʻo ka pōkole o ka mamao, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka manawa e lanakila ai. Hiki i nā mea holo paikikala hoihoi ke hoʻāʻo i kā lākou wikiwiki 100-mika ponoʻī.
