Fui um atleta errático, confesso. Gostava mais do aspecto lúdico do esporte, do divertimento, do convívio com os companheiros de tatames, quadras, raias… Andei por muitas modalidades, tendo levado mais a sério a vela, com passagens por três classes. Foram os plantões como jornalista nos fins de semana que me afastaram de vez desse esporte. E foi o jornalismo que me aproximou dos atletas de alto nível, olímpicos, quase semideuses. Por muitos anos, mergulhei na história de supercampeões, e nenhum deles me falou de um caminho coberto por pétalas de rosa, de vitórias que não tenham sido construídas sobre derrotas, muita dor e muito sofrimento.

É uma gente diferente. O que nós, pessoas comuns, precisamos ter em doses mínimas esses atletas têm em doses cavalares: talento, determinação, disciplina, entrega, resistência, superação, garra, técnica, força… São, o tempo inteiro, competidores, é a competição que os alimenta, que os move. Querem ser, a cada dia, melhores do que eles próprios, querem ser melhores do que todos os outros. É natural neles, é legítimo, não há como condená-los por isso, nem pelo desejo nem pela proporção. Eu também quero me superar e superar os outros, mas, num nível olímpico, isso é mesmo para poucos.

É irreal um mundo sem competição, sem meritocracia, seria como um esporte em que só fossem distribuídos prêmios de consolação

A questão é que continuam sendo pessoas aqueles que buscam um lugar no Olimpo, estão sujeitos a esbarrar em limites, técnicos, físicos, emocionais… Nem todos querem se arrastar até a linha de chegada, nem todos veem nisso uma vitória. É uma questão pessoal, interna. Até grandes atletas podem querer, podem decidir se afastar, mesmo que momentaneamente, do peso da competição. Fato é que jamais viveremos longe dela, e relativizar vitórias e derrotas, isso também tem seu limite.

Não sei que gerações sucederão à minha, com tanta gente nova levada ao coitadismo, ao vitimismo, protegida insanamente e falsamente, claro, de dores e sofrimento. É preciso tolerar a desistência, mas não enxergar nela um ato de bravura, coragem e heroísmo. A vida tem fardos, e há desejos que não serão realizados. A perfeição sempre escapará, o que se deve buscar é o mérito. E nunca será fácil, ninguém falou que seria. É irreal um mundo sem competição, sem meritocracia, seria como um esporte em que só fossem distribuídos prêmios de consolação. Um mundo sem derrotas é um mundo sem vitórias. E um mundo feito apenas de empates jamais existirá.
