International Women's Day 2020

Journée internationale de la femme 2020

Le monde du triathlon est l’un des rares sports à pouvoir véritablement célébrer la parité hommes-femmes , tant dans les cercles d’élite que dans la base. En effet, sa portée, sa participation, ses bourses et sa gouvernance sont assez équilibrées en termes de représentation masculine et féminine. Il s’agit certainement d’un énorme attrait pour de nombreuses personnes qui se lancent dans l’aventure du triathlon ; des règles du jeu équitables pour tous, à condition que vous travailliez dur et respectiez vos concurrents – n'abordons pas le prix abordable des vélos de contre-la-montre et des chaussures plaquées carbone dans cet article, n'est-ce pas ?

Mais la Journée internationale de la femme n'est pas seulement l'occasion de se réjouir des réalisations. Des améliorations peuvent et doivent toujours être apportées, pour garantir que nous promouvons l’inclusion pour tous et encourageons le sport en tant que cheminement de carrière viable et moyen de rester en forme dans une communauté bienveillante. Il est vrai que l’égalité de participation tend à diminuer à mesure que les triathlètes vieillissent. À l’âge de 10 ans, filles et garçons sont répartis à parts égales. À 50 ans, ce chiffre diminue généralement à 2 hommes pour 1 femme. Vers 70 ans, ce ratio est passé de façon exponentielle à 11 : 1. Il y a peut-être plusieurs facteurs culturels en jeu ici, le plus évident étant la réticence des femmes à concourir après avoir eu des enfants et élevé une famille.

Le domaine professionnel est cependant jonché de participation post-partum (essayez de le dire rapidement). L'athlète de Zone3 et mère Yuliya Yelistratova nous a dit que "la vie a beaucoup changé depuis la naissance de [son] Artem, avec encore plus d'amour et d'inspiration désormais présents". Bien sûr, de nombreuses femmes se sentent moralement obligées de mettre de côté leurs aspirations sportives en faveur des engagements familiaux, mais avec un réseau de soutien, il n'y a aucune raison pour que les deux ne puissent pas coexister. "Grâce au soutien massif de mon mari et de mes proches, j'arrive toujours à m'entraîner efficacement à 100 % et à m'améliorer d'année en année dans mes compétitions".

La Danoise souriante Michelle Vesterby témoigne de cette mentalité de « sans compromis », ayant participé au Championnat du monde Ironman alors qu'elle était enceinte de 17 semaines de son fils Markus (bien qu'elle se soit finalement retirée de la course en raison de crevaisons intempestives). « Je prends les décisions – je sais ce qui est le mieux pour moi – en tant qu'athlète et maintenant en tant que maman ! Ne laissez personne vous dire que vous ne pouvez pas ou que vous ne devriez pas ! Nous pouvons faire bien plus que ce que nous pensons et nous devons faire ce qui nous rend heureux - c'est aussi pourquoi j'ai cette devise : GARDER LE SOURIRE!'

Pour moi (un homme), la Journée internationale de la femme ne consiste pas seulement à promouvoir l'égalité, mais à célébrer la féminité, et ce sont des distinctions, à part entière, la maternité en étant une grande partie.

Si l’âge constitue une échelle mobile pour la participation féminine, la distance de l’événement l’est également. La disparité est beaucoup plus répandue dans le triathlon de longue durée, avec des listes de départ professionnelles féminines comptant régulièrement moins de 10 participantes. Ceci, malgré le fait que l'écart de performance entre les hommes et les femmes se réduit à mesure que la durée de la course s'allonge. On pourrait facilement pointer du doigt un air d'intimidation autour des courses Ironman et Challenge à prédominance masculine, mais je pense que le problème est bien plus complexe que cela. Kona a reçu des prix égaux depuis sa création, et avec de nombreux modèles féminins ouvrant la voie, on peut difficilement accuser la communauté des parcours longs d'effrayer les concurrents potentiels.

Kimberley Morrison, triple championne de l'Ironman 70.3, dresse un tableau positif : « Je suis un membre actif de la campagne locale « This Girl Can » et j'ai vu l'importance de se rassembler en tant que femmes dans une variété de sports. Je crois que les femmes se sentent plus habilitées à partager leur amour du sport avec les autres, et la communauté du triathlon soutient certainement cela au niveau local et international. La partie la plus excitante de courir à travers le monde en tant que triathlète professionnelle est de rencontrer mes concurrentes, de partager des histoires et de simplement s'efforcer de donner le meilleur d'elles-mêmes le jour de la course. Nous travaillons sans relâche dans notre sport et j’aime la compréhension mutuelle de vouloir que chacun fasse de son mieux.

Le mouvement « ensemble » est évidemment répandu parmi les élites, et on pourrait dire que cela prend un certain temps pour se propager et faire évoluer la culture parmi les amateurs et les guerriers du week-end.

Comme l'a dit l'athlète belge WTS, Valerie Barthelemy, « plus je grimpe dans le monde du triathlon, plus je sens ma voix et mon rôle de femme célébrés et valorisés. L'ITU (Union internationale de triathlon) fait un excellent travail en célébrant les femmes aux côtés des hommes dans sa politique d'attribution de prix égaux, de quotas de liste de départ et de couverture médiatique. De plus, avec l'introduction du relais par équipes mixtes qui fera ses débuts aux Jeux olympiques de Tokyo, nous organisons désormais non seulement une épreuve par équipe, mais aussi l'une des premières compétitions mixtes jamais organisées ! Avec 2 hommes et 2 femmes, c'est une belle façon de célébrer l'égalité et de faire concourir les deux sexes ensemble, ce à quoi je serai très fier de participer. Cela dit, je trouve qu'il y a du travail à faire pour suivre cet exemple, notamment en la communauté du triathlon en Belgique pour œuvrer en faveur de l'égalité des chances en matière de parrainage, de prix en argent dans les triathlons locaux et d'une exposition médiatique. Ce changement nous obligera toutes, femmes fortes, à travailler continuellement ensemble pour unir nos voix pour un plus grand changement ! »

Valérie fait valoir un argument valable, dans la mesure où l'amélioration nécessitera des efforts continus . Les campagnes sur les réseaux sociaux constituent un pas dans la bonne direction, mais il est important de ne pas trop simplifier lorsque l'on considère les « femmes dans le sport ». Le parcours d'une femme vers le triathlon est aussi diversifié que les femmes elles-mêmes, ce qui signifie que les organisateurs, les médias, les sponsors et les athlètes doivent prendre en compte la mère de deux enfants qui manque de temps, ainsi que l'adolescente protégée prospère, lorsqu'ils s'adressent à leur public.

Ma vision retentissante du triathlon, en cette Journée internationale de la femme, est celle de l'enthousiasme. L'athlète britannique de IM Nikki Bartlett m'a enthousiasmé à propos de « la progression, de la qualité et de la profondeur du sport », et de la façon dont cela « augmente chaque année ».

« Nous repoussons collectivement les limites de ce qui est humainement possible. Il suffit de regarder les répartitions de chaque discipline par rapport aux meilleures professionnelles. Les gens sont abasourdis quand je parle des distances, encore plus quand je parle des marathons de 2h50 sans vélo ! Faire partie d'un fabuleux groupe de femmes professionnelles me motive à me réveiller et à repousser mes limites jour après jour !'

Elle admet qu'il existe encore « un écart entre les entraîneurs et les praticiens masculins et féminins à travers le monde », mais dans l'ensemble, c'est une « période passionnante » pour s'impliquer dans le sport.
