. Acabaram. As férias. Os dias mornos em casa. Intercalados. Entre o sofá, corpo estendido, e trabalhos domésticos numa lida vagarosa, ao sabor dum tempo que não tem pressa e porque o corpo também se ressente. Dias sem hora de deitar nem de levantar. Mais dias. Noutro lugar. Calorosos. Num Rio de Janeiro, Inverno Agosto quente. Laços estreitados. Outros ares. Outro Inverno. Agosto na Praça de Maio. Buenos Aires de frio moderado. A dança aquece os corpos. A paixão do tango. Uma dança de estações que se trocam e voltam ao seu devido lugar. Verão. Inverno. Verão. Norte. Sul. Norte. E no entanto parece que quase nada muda. Mas alguma coisa muda. Porque algo mais se acrescenta, se mistura em nós. E transforma. Um tudo nada. Amanhã é dia de regresso. Ao trabalho. Os dias a minguar. O Outono. O Natal. Mais um ano. Novo? Outro. Sim. E nós deveríamos saber viver cada dia. Mas não. Vivemos à espera dos dias que desejamos. De outro Verão. Se o sabemos, porque não agarramos o Outono para chegar à Primavera com o Inverno atravessado de olhos abertos? Talvez assim o Verão que se segue seja ainda melhor, apesar da inevitabilidade de dias invernosos que se atravessam sem escolher dia nem estação. Imagem - Fotografia com sopreposição de texto.

“I felt I had done a good routine,” Comaneci said of the moment she finished on the uneven bars in the team competition, on the second day of the Montreal 1976 Games. “So, I didn’t care to watch the scoreboard because I thought I was going to get a 9.9 or something like that, which was good as a start. I was already thinking of the balance beam because once the score comes, the music comes on and then we had to march [to the next apparatus]. So I was putting that routine away and not paying attention to the scoreboard, until I heard the noise in the arena.” In one of the most celebrated technical lapses in history, the arena’s scoreboard struggled to deal with the diminutive Romanian’s brilliance. History recalls that OMEGA, the Olympic Games official timekeepers and scorers since 1932, had asked organisers before the 1976 Games whether the scoreboards needed updating to accommodate four digits. They were told it was not necessary.
