Africa-Press – Madagascar. <\/strong><\/span>Matt Smith deviendra sous peu le premier skieur de fond sud-africain a\u0300 participer aux Jeux olympiques d’hiver depuis Oliver Kraas aux Jeux de Vancouver en 2010.<\/p>\n

L\u2019athle\u0300te de 34 ans originaire du Cap, est attendu en Italie pour les JO d\u2019hiver. Matt Smith a gagne\u0301 la place de quota de l’Afrique du Sud pour la compe\u0301tition. C\u2019est en Norve\u0300ge ou\u0300 il s\u2019est installe\u0301 en 2022 que le trentenaire s\u2019est lance\u0301 dans le Ski de fond.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0C’e\u0301tait il y a presque trois ans. Aux Jeux olympiques, cela fera trois ans que j’ai commence\u0301 le ski de fond, et mon premier entrai\u0302neur et professeur a e\u0301te\u0301 Alan Daniel Corona, qui est aujourd’hui mon partenaire d’entrai\u0302nement.<\/p>\n

L’athle\u0300te mexicain et moi-me\u0302me nous sommes qualifie\u0301s a\u0300 Trondheim pour les Jeux olympiques, avec les nume\u0301ros 38 et 39 de la course de qualification. C’est ainsi que le voyage a commence\u0301\u00a0\u00bb, a de\u0301clare\u0301 Matt Smith, futur skieur olympique.<\/p>\n

Un voyage porteur d\u2019espoir pour l\u2019athle\u0300te sud-africain qui a entame\u0301 un programme d’entrai\u0302nement rigoureux. \u00ab\u00a0Vous savez, je veux briller et sourire au monde, montrer mon pays sous son meilleur jour\u00a0\u00bb, promet le skieur. Face a\u0300 des athle\u0300tes de pays telles que la Norve\u0300ge, la Sue\u0300de et la Finlande, Smith sait que la concurrence sera rude.<\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Tout ce qui se passe pendant la course fera partie du jeu. Si je tombe, si je casse un ba\u0302ton, c’est la vie. Cela fait partie de l’histoire. Mais j’ai de\u0301ja\u0300 pense\u0301 a\u0300 terminer cette course. J’ai pense\u0301 a\u0300 commencer cette course et a\u0300 la terminer. Tout ce qui se trouve au milieu – ce qui viendra, viendra, ce qui arrivera, arrivera.<\/p>\n

Mais je sourirai et je saluerai la foule comme je le fais toujours.\u2019\u2019, de\u0301clare Matt Smith. En attendant Smith s’entrai\u0302ne a\u0300 Holmenkollen, le centre emble\u0301matique d’Oslo pour les athle\u0300tes de ski de fond.<\/p>\n
