她們的漂亮你不一定懂　但這8位運動員用自己定義了「美」

美麗的定義有很多種，普通大眾認為的是外型的美和外型完整，但內心的美和殘缺的美也是其中一種，今天動誌就要來介紹世界上幾位擁有獨特美的韻動員，他們雖然是奧運選手和世界冠軍，但都因為外型的差異多多少少被大眾貼上標籤，我們來揭開他們如何克服外型上的缺點贏得認同。

即使是百年難得一見的網球天才，但小威因為強壯的肌肉曾經和姐姐大威被稱為「威廉斯兄弟」，小威曾說：「我愛我的身體，我不會改變任何事情，我不期望你喜歡我的外型，但我可以影響那些和我有相同身材的人，讓她們知道對自己有自信。」

瑞斯曼曾表示，她小學五年級因為肌肉太發達被班上同學戲稱服用類固醇，甚至她因為穿無袖被說令人噁心，但現在她對自己的身體有了更多理解，她說：「你不能讓別人決定你對自己的看法。這麼長的時間我都有不安全感，這令我發瘋，但也因為我的手臂使我成為了世界上最好的體操運動員之一，所以我永遠也不會做任何改變。」

巴塞特(Scout Bassett)   美殘奧會田徑選手

Patience is the ability to accept trouble, suffering, delay without becoming discouraged or upset. When things aren't coming fast enough, work relentlessly while you wait and trust in God's perfect timing. As an athlete that’s devoted all that I am to this dream, the postponement of the Tokyo Paralympic Games matters but it isn’t forefront on my mind, it’s not even the priority. The challenges and battles facing our world are far bigger and more important than any medal or title. In these trying times, we must look after each other and take this moment to better ourselves and our communitities. For those that feel like life just slammed on the brakes and you’re reeling from the whiplash, hold onto the hope that there is no obstacle we can’t overcome, no pain we can’t heal from, and no situation that isn’t ultimately working for our good. Though fear and uncertainty surround us on every side, we don’t have to be held captive by them. Goodness and kindness have not been cancelled and even in the darkest of times there’s always an opportunity to love, serve and grow. ❤️

巴薩特小時候因化學火災而失去了右腿，她後來談到了被截肢者的性別歧視：「退伍軍人在戰爭失去雙腿，回到家中被視為英雄。但如果你看到一個女人，這被認為是一種缺陷。我希望女孩們看到這一點，並告訴大眾這是一種強大而美麗又令人驚嘆的缺陷。」

2016年里約奧運，拜爾絲的表現讓她成為家喻戶曉大明星，甚至創造許多體操動作，不過由於她的身高142公分且身上肌肉結實，讓她看來不符合傳統「美」的標準，「不知道為什麼，其他人總覺得他們可以根據自己的標準，來說我美或不美。我為自己和所有經歷過的人挺身而出。因為沒人會告訴你或我美女應該或不應該是什麼樣。」

凱特琳（Katelyn Ohashi）  美體操爆紅大學生

“a line of dots following a pattern but one stands out, it’s clearly an outlier that’s direction needs to reroute. alienated and put to the side in order to not be seen, studied through a screen, thinking that maybe if we can match a name to it, we’ll all suddenly become immune like any vaccine. experiencing anything that isn’t explained or doesn’t belong to the majority will make you alone, and anyone who wants to stay “normal” will hide in order to not be shown. the outlying dots were marked on my skin, to remind me that being different is no longer sin. these marks are the reminders of everyone fighting around. the ones that are no longer seen because they were cast down. the ones that aren’t lost just never wanted to be found. and the ones that just needed someone else to make a sound. multiple mediums where too many negative energies can surface. as if not commenting the hurtful message would somehow be doing a disservice. each time my skin sheds away making more room to grow. not to make room for anyone else but to let my own true colors show. proud of who i am and what my body reveals, no longer am i concerned about who it appeals. too thin, too fat, but it’s not anyone else’s job to decide all that. having a voice loud enough blocks everyone else out, but when there’s that lingering doubt every compliment received will go unnoticed like a drought. amour de soi is the only natural form of self love. once that’s reached, nothing will rise above. we weren’t meant to have it all, but make the best out of what we have every single day. i’m proud of my body and all its imperfections, that’s all i have to say.” ~ katelyn ohashi. @espn #espnbodyissue2019 photographer: @danascruggs 😍

在2019 Under Armour全美大專體操挑戰賽拿下10分而爆紅的凱特琳，其實曾經有過一段低潮期，2013年下背部和肩膀傷勢，加上鄉民說她身材太胖，「像不能飛的鳥」，她為此減肥，還得到厭食症，甚至連自己教練都說她是因為身體太重才受傷。 凱特琳 直到進入加州大學洛杉磯分校(UCLA)遇到新教練她才找回練體操快樂：「每個人的身體都不一樣，沒有一個是完美的身體，只要在意重要的人，這是您可以努力的目標。」

卡特(Michelle Carter)  里約奧運鉛球金牌

#AsSheIs We live in a world that we are always comparing ourselves to each other. A picture can say a thousand words but a picture is still limited. In a picture you can only see what you can see. In my picture you can see that my stomach is big, I have a couple of rolls, my skin is dark, my hair is tightly curled, my glasses are thick, and I have a few strecth marks. I'm sure there are many other things you can point out. But… There is a whole other side of me you can't see. You can't see my character. You can't see what's in my heart. I am kind. I am funny. I am painfully honest (ask my friends). I am protective. I am strong. I am an overcomer. I am persistant. I cry when I watch movies on the plane, and I dont know why. I think its the cabin pressure. I love to laugh untill my stomach hurts to #AmericasFunniestHomeVideo by myself. There is so much we can't see while looking at a picture. So many details we don't know while watching a highlight film. The highlights looks good but to get to those moments what did it cost? Happiness? Time? Peace? Meaningfull Relationships? Depression? Anxiety? Sleep?Family? The very thing we may want from the person in picture is the thing they would give up to have what you have in yours. What if I told you in order to get what you want from them you have to give up the thing you love the most. Would you still want it? For example: I want a six pack. They told me that I would have to be on a strict diet and never eat cake again and in that moment I realized a six pack was not worth it! LOL! Our looks may have someone notice us, but our character and whats in our hearts is why people love us. Beauty is more than skin deep. If no one never phiscally saw you and they had to get to know you with out knowing what you look like would they still like you? (Sounds like dating before the internet. HA!) Your body is the only body you will get. Take care of it. Love on it. Be kind to your flaws becasue they are what make you unique. It houses the most beautiful part of you and that's your heart. #BodyPositive #LoveYourBody #BodyImage #ShotDiva #IamBeautiful #Confidence

里約奧運美國女子鉛球金牌的卡特擁有和其他田徑擲部項目選手一樣的身材，而在被診斷出甲狀腺功能退化後，她感覺自己的身體發生巨大變化。卡特曾說：「那很辛苦，因為我的身體經歷了太多變化，我增加了100磅。頭髮一直掉，身體又很累，無法保持肌肉量，而且我必須重新認識自己的身體。」好在她沒有放棄自己，漸漸透過改善生活和飲食找回自信：「每個運動員看起來都不一樣，就像短跑選手無法投擲鉛球。我之所以這樣身材會是這樣，是因為我有能力投擲鉛球。」

道格拉斯在16歲那年取得倫敦奧運的成功之後開始受到批評，每個人都在談論她的手臂，她也開始在意自己的手臂有多強壯。但她看到了小威如何優雅地對待自己的身體的所有負面批評，所以開始擁抱自己的差異。

沃恩(Lindsey Vonn)   2010溫哥華冬奧金牌

Been on the road for almost two months now. Trying to still stay in shape has been a challenge while still working sometimes 12-14 hour days. But the gym is what gives me life. Keeps me alert and ready for the day ahead of me. And also, it gets me ready for bikini season! Looking forward to some time off…but still have 2 weeks left. I got this 💪🏻 #theonlywayisthrough @projectrock

沃恩曾說自己在拿到冬奧金牌後，出席一些典禮穿上禮服時相當沒有自信，曾嘗試節食但沒有用處，她後來意識到人一直都不是完美，每個人越強迫自己這樣做，就會越不健康。現在沃恩說：「我已經到了接受並愛自己的身體，我的身材與其他所有人不一樣……我對自己所擁有的東西感到滿意。現在，當我走在紅地毯上時，我不在乎其他人的想法。」

以上八位運動員的美你可能不懂，但或許該改變的是大眾的眼光，畢竟每個人的美都不一樣，也都有不同欣賞者，我們不需要批評別人，而是學會去看懂她們，真的理解每個人都不同，希望看完這些運動員的故事能讓自卑的你也學會讚賞自己。
