An diesem Freitag findet zum 15. Mal die Cargolympics Association des Cargo Handler's statt.\n\nDie Veranstaltung, die zum f\u00fcnften Mal in Folge im sch\u00f6nen New Corvo bayside Port Authority Center stattfindet, ist ein triumphales Fest f\u00fcr alle Belange der Fracht und der damit verbundenen G\u00fcter. Was einst ein freundschaftlicher Wettstreit zwischen einigen wenigen Arbeitern der Landezone war, hat sich im Laufe der Jahre zu einer nicht zu \u00fcbersehenden Veranstaltung entwickelt, an der \u00fcber 200.000 Live-Zuschauer teilnahmen und fast eine Million Zuschauer aus allen Ecken der Vega teilnahmen.\n\n\"Es ist wirklich spektakul\u00e4r zu sehen, wie flei\u00dfige Menschen die Chance erhalten, Tag f\u00fcr Tag zu zeigen, was sie tun, und ich denke, dass wir alle jubeln k\u00f6nnen\", kommentierte Grigo Chay, CEO von Stor-All, dem j\u00fcngsten Unternehmen, das in die wachsende Liste der Cargolympics-Firmensponsoren aufgenommen wurde. \"Ich dachte, ich w\u00fcsste alles, was unsere Linie von Qualit\u00e4ts-Lagerbeh\u00e4ltern kann, aber Terri[Santos] zu beobachten, wie 57 unserer Modell A's in weniger als einer Minute im letzten Jahr \u00fcbereinander gestapelt wurden, nun, das war etwas anderes. Ich kann es kaum erwarten, zu sehen, welche Rekorde in diesem Jahr gebrochen werden.\"\n\nStor-All wird sich mit dem langj\u00e4hrigen Sponsor Torreele Foodstuffs zusammenschlie\u00dfen, um das musik- und pyrotechnische Er\u00f6ffnungsspektakel mit dem Titel \"Full Haul, Full Heart\" unter dem Vorsitz des ber\u00fchmten K\u00fcnstlers Ellroy Cass zu pr\u00e4sentieren. Dar\u00fcber hinaus werden die diesj\u00e4hrigen Zeremonien, die die Tugenden Mut, St\u00e4rke und Schnelligkeit repr\u00e4sentieren, zusammen mit den drei Sch\u00fclern, die sie der Auswahlkommission von C.H.A. vorgelegt haben, vorgestellt. Die Gegenst\u00e4nde werden in die Goldene Kiste geladen, w\u00e4hrend die Aremis Miliz Marching Band eine mitrei\u00dfende Interpretation von \"Vega for All\" spielt.\n\nNachdem der rekordverd\u00e4chtige Titelverteidiger Terri Santos aus dem Vorjahr ausgeschieden ist, haben viele damit begonnen zu spekulieren, wer der diesj\u00e4hrige amtierende Cargo Champ werden soll. Mit Vertretern von 6 Systemen, die an \u00fcber 25 Veranstaltungen teilnahmen, ist das Wettbewerbsgebiet gr\u00f6\u00dfer denn je geworden, wobei der langj\u00e4hrigen Rivalit\u00e4t zwischen New Corvo und dem nahegelegenen Titus besondere Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wurde. Wird dies endlich das Jahr sein, in dem Titus die ersch\u00fctternde Niederlage der Rohstoff-Staffel, die sie bei den 2939 Spielen erlitten hat, zur\u00fcckerhalten wird, oder wird die Heimatstadt-Favoritin Nella Tweed ihr Team zu einem weiteren Sieg f\u00fchren k\u00f6nnen?\n\nNella Tweed, 41, hat seit ihrer Gr\u00fcndung an den Cargolympics teilgenommen und sagt, dass ihre besten Jahre noch vor ihr liegen. \"Ich arbeite schon seit langem auf dem Parkplatz[einer lokalen Landezone], und noch bevor die Spiele wirklich eine Sache waren, schieben ich und die Crew uns gegenseitig an, um zu sehen, wer die Fracht am schnellsten ziehen kann, wer eine zus\u00e4tzliche SCU in einen Laderaum einbauen kann, wer einen Stapel H\u00fclsen mit einem einzigen Gravitationslift umwerfen kann. Der letzte war nat\u00fcrlich au\u00dferhalb der Uhr. Es war eine M\u00f6glichkeit, die Tage schneller vorbeiziehen zu lassen, eine M\u00f6glichkeit, etwas Stolz auf das zu haben, was wir getan haben, aber jetzt, um ehrlich zu sein, betrachte ich den Job manchmal mehr als Training f\u00fcr die Spiele als alles andere.\"\n\nEs ist leicht zu verstehen, warum in einem Beruf voller Eilauftr\u00e4ge, ungeduldiger Kapit\u00e4ne und w\u00fctender H\u00e4ndler die Cargolympics so viel zu bedeuten haben. Zu oft werden Cargo-Handler nicht besser behandelt als die mech-Ladearme, die sie neben sich haben, aber an diesen drei Tagen im Jahr d\u00fcrfen wir diese flei\u00dfigen Menschen ehren und zeigen, dass wir ihre einzigartigen F\u00e4higkeiten und Talente sch\u00e4tzen.\n\n\"Wenn Sie es mit Frachtcontainern und H\u00fclsen unterschiedlicher Gr\u00f6\u00dfe zu tun haben, die verschiedene Gewichte und Gefahrstoffe enthalten, kann es eine echte Herausforderung sein, nicht nur alles an Bord eines Schiffes zu montieren, sondern auch sicherzustellen, dass es richtig zug\u00e4nglich ist und dann leicht an seinem Bestimmungsort entladen werden kann? Das ist nicht die einfachste Sache. Sieh es ein\", sagt C.H.A. Pr\u00e4sidentin Blaine Hadley, \"das ist ein guter Job, und ich bin froh, dass wir nicht nur den Vers zeigen k\u00f6nnen, wie gut er ist, sondern auch eine Menge Spa\u00df dabei haben.\"","zh_CN":"THE CARGOLYMPICS RETURN\nBy Sean Nazawa\nNEW CORVO, AREMIS, VEGA \u2013 For three days every year, the spotlight shines bright on a part of everyday life that we may not normally consider that glamorous: cargo loading.
