Es el túnel del tiempo, el que estamos orgullosamente viviendo en éste inolvidable primer mundial disputado en el continente asiático, que fue un modelo
de comportamiento y que nos introdujo en
ese túnel del tiempo que ya hemos vivido entre aquel junio de 1995 y ahora
comenzando noviembre de 2019.
En Sudáfrica 1995, su presidente
Nelson Madiba Mandela festejó la Copa William Webb Ellis, ganada en tiempo
suplementario a los All Blacks por 15-12, en ese templo que es el Ellis Park de
Johannesburgo. Y quién la recibió de manos de Nelson Mandela fue el flanker y
capitán Jacobus François Pienaar.
Hoy como hace 25 años en Johannesburgo, seguidores, blancos y negros,
saltan de alegría por la performance superlativa del equipo encabezado por el
flanker y capitán Siya Kolisi, que
levantó el trofeo William Webb-Ellis y la emoción fue realmente muy fuerte.
Ayer sábado, en ese teatro de los
sueños que es el International Yokohama Stadium, Sudáfrica tenía seis jugadores
negros en el XV inicial, algo diferente a los anteriores mundiales de 1995 y
2007, donde fueron respectivamente, 1 y
2, mientras que los blancos son menos del 10% de la población sudafricana.
"Hoy, nuestro padre, Nelson Mandela, sonríe desde el paraíso
", dijo el ganador del Premio Nobel de la Paz, el Arzobispo Desmond Tutu,
amigo cercano del primer presidente sudafricano negro, y "Siya Kolisi, es un tesoro de la
nación, estoy increíblemente orgulloso de ser sudafricano", exclamó Demond
Tutu.
Y así emerge éste puente a través del tiempo entre dos flankers, Jacobus
François Pienaar, que estuvo anoche en la tribuna con los brazos al cielo y
Siya Kolisi, que se acercó a la tribuna para abrazar a Rachel, su mujer blanca
y levantar en brazos a su dos hijos. Fue impactante y celebrado por ingleses y sudafricanos
juntos.
The Springboks
remind us of 24 years of world stories
It is the time tunnel, which we are proudly living in this unforgettable first
World Cup played in the Asian continent, which was a model of behavior and that
introduced us in that time tunnel that we have already lived between that June
1995 and now beginning November of 2019.
In South Africa 1995, its president Nelson Madiba Mandela celebrated the William Webb Ellis Cup, won in overtime to the All Blacks by 15-12, in that temple that is the Ellis Park in Johannesburg. And who received it from Nelson Mandela was the flanker and captain Jacobus François Pienaar.
Today as 25 years ago in Johannesburg, followers, black and white, jump for joy at the superlative performance of the team headed by flanker and captain Siya Kolisi, who lifted the William Webb-Ellis trophy and the emotion was really very strong.
Yesterday Saturday, in that theater of dreams that is the International Yokohama Stadium, South Africa had six black players in the initial XV, somewhat different from the previous World Cups in 1995 and 2007, where they were respectively 1 and 2, while the whites are less than 10% of the South African population.
"Today, our father, Nelson Mandela, smiles from paradise," said Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu, a close friend of the first black South African president, and "Siya Kolisi, is a treasure of the nation, I'm incredibly proud to be South African, "said Demond Tutu.
And so this bridge emerges through time between two flankers, Jacobus François Pienaar, who was last night in the gallery with his arms to the sky and Siya Kolisi, who approached the gallery to hug Rachel, his white wife and lift in his arms To his two children. It was shocking and celebrated by English and South Africans together.
