Nokuba uGoogle ubhiyozela uMlingo oMnyama waMantombazana weZaila Avant-garde's Imbali yeScripps yeSpelling Spee Bee Win

Ukuba uchwetheza igama UZaila Vanguard okanye Iscripps Inyosi yoPelo yeSizwe kwibar yakho yokukhangela kuGoogle namhlanje, uyakubona isiphango se-confetti, ezinye iinyosi ezinobuhlobo, kunye negama elithi Murraya.

Kungenxa yokuba uZaila Avant-garde oneminyaka eli-14 ubudala uphumelele i-Scripps National Spelling Bee!

Emva kwemijikelo eli-17, iAvant-garde yanikwa igama elithi Murraya, igama endinalo, ngokuqinisekileyo, andizange ndeva ngalo de ndibhale eli bali, kodwa ngoku ndiyazi ukuba luhlobo lwemithi ekweleenjiko yaseAsia naseAustralia enamagqabi neentyatyambo ezihonjisiweyo. amagqabi.

Ewe, ngendilahlekile.

Ngokwenyani, ngekhe ndide ndiyenze le ndlela.

I-Avant-garde ithathe ixesha ukubuza imibuzo ebalulekileyo ngaphambi kokuzama ukupela igama. Ngaba eli gama linalo igama lesiNgesi UMurray ingaba ligama lendoda ehlekisayo? Umbuzo osemthethweni, kwaye omnye ufumene intsini kubagwebi. Emva kokubuza imvelaphi yeli gama (eligama lesiLatin elisuka kwigama lesiSweden), uAvant-garde waya kupela igama ngokuchanekileyo.

Ngokuphumelela u-twirl kunye no-ol omkhulu, u-Avant-garde akenzanga imbali yokhuphiswano phantse lwenkulungwane (yaqala ngo-1925), kodwa i-WIN yenye yezinto ezininzi azenzileyo.

Ngokwe-ESPN , I-Avant-garde yintshatsheli yokuqala yase-Afrika yenyosi yopelo.

UZaila wayesazi ukuba uyakuba yimpumelelo yokuqala yenyosi yase-Afrika. Wayeyazi ukuba abantwana abaNtsundu kwilizwe liphela babebukele umabonakude we-ESPN2 ngoLwesine ebusuku, belinde ukukhuthazeka kwaye benethemba lokulandela ezinyathelweni zomntu owayefana nabo. Wade wacinga ngo-MacNolia Cox, owathi ngo-1936 waba ngowokugqibela oMnyama wokugqibela kwinyosi kwaye akazange avunyelwe ukuhlala kwihotele enye njengabanye abagcini.

Inqaku liqhubeka lisithi ekuphela kwentshatsheli yabaNtsundu eyadlulayo yayikwangoyena mntu uphumeleleyo kwilizwe liphela: uJody-Anne Maxwell waseJamaica ngo1998. Ngaphandle kwelo nqanaba loxinzelelo, i-ESPN inika ingxelo yokuba iAvant-garde igcine intloko epholileyo kuyo yonke indawo. Ndandikhululekile kumxholo weMurraya kwaye ndinelinye igama endilifumeneyo, utshilo uAvant-garde.

I-Avant-garde yongeza olu loyiso kuluhlu esele lubalasele lweenjongo zobomi ezifezekisiweyo eneminyaka eyi-14. Njengomphathi webhasikithi, unamangenelo amaninzi Incwadi yeGuinness yeeRekhodi zeHlabathi kungekho namnye, hayi ezimbini, kodwa zintathu iirekhodi zokuqhuba ngaxeshanye kwiibhasikithi ezininzi. Injongo yakhe emva koku? Ukudlala iWNBA okanye ukuqeqesha iqela.

Upelo, ngokwe-ESPN, yinto i-Avant-garde eyijonga njengecala lakhe lokuzonwabisa.

Ndacinga ukuba andinakuze ndiphinde ndibe lupelo, kodwa ndonwabile ukuba ndiza kwenza ikhefu elicocekileyo kuyo, utshilo u-Avant-garde. Wayekhuphisana emva kwi-2019 kodwa waqubuda kumjikelo wokuqala. Emva koko, waqala ukusebenza nomqeqeshi ukuze abe ukulungele ukukhuphisana kwakhona. Ndingaphuma, njengeirekhodi zam zehlabathi zeGuinness, yishiye nje apho uhambe.

I-Avant-garde ikwavela ngenxa yokuba yaqala ukuba nomdla kwiinyosi zopelo. Uninzi lwee-Scripps spellers ziqala zisencinci njenge-kindergarten, kodwa waqala ukwenza oku kwiminyaka embalwa edlulileyo. Umqeqeshi wakhe, uCole Shafer-Ray (owayengumdlali we-scripps ka-2015) wayeyikrakra ngetalente yakhe. Ngokwesiqhelo ukuze ulunge njengoZaila, kuya kufuneka unxibelelane kakuhle kuluntu lopelo. Kuya kufuneka uyenze iminyaka emininzi, utshilo uShafer-Ray. Kwakungathi yimfihlelo, ngathi, 'Ngaba lo mntu uyinyani?'

Ewe ewe, ngokuqinisekileyo kunjalo.
