每日外刊 | 1112_结缘耐克之前，我还是全美最快的

玛丽·凯恩是美国跑得最快的女孩。这位神童打破了无数的国家记录，包括在2013年作为当时最年轻的美国运动员参加莫斯科世界锦标赛，并最终进入1500米决赛。她梦想成为历史上最伟大的女运动员，为此，她决定放弃大学田径生涯，加入耐克俄勒冈计划。几天前，玛丽和《纽约时报》发布了一段7分钟的爆炸性视频，震撼了体育界。在视频中，她详细描述了一种几乎造成致命后果的情感和身体虐待模式。上个月，在61岁的著名教练阿尔贝托·萨拉扎（Alberto Salazar）因违禁兴奋剂而被禁赛四年后，该公司关闭了该项目。但是玛丽声称她在他手上遭受的虐待比世界反兴奋剂机构对萨拉扎的指控要严重得多。

The failures and reverses which await men and-one after another sadden the brow of youth-add a dignity to the prospect of human life, which no Arcadian success would do.

Was the Fastest Girl in America, Until I Joined Nike

At 17, Mary Cain was already a record-breaking phenom: the fastest girl in a generation, and the youngest American track and field athlete to make a World Championships team. In 2013, she was signed by the best track team in the world, Nike’s Oregon Project, run by its star coach Alberto Salazar.

Then everything collapsed. Her fall was just as spectacular as her rise, and she shares that story for the first time in the Video Op-Ed above. Instead of becoming a symbol of girls’ unlimited potential in sports, Cain became yet another standout young athlete who got beaten down by a win-at-all-costs culture.

The problem is so common it affected the only other female athlete featured in the last Nike video ad Cain appeared in, the figure skater Gracie Gold. When the ad came out in 2014, like Cain, Gold was a prodigy considered talented enough to win a gold medal at the next Olympics. And, like Cain, Gold got caught in a system where she was compelled to become thinner and thinner. Gold developed disordered eating to the point of imagining taking her life.

17岁时，玛丽·凯恩（Mary Cain）已经是一个打破记录的天才：她是一代人中跑得最快的女孩，也是最年轻的进入世锦赛队伍的美国田径运动员。2013年，她签约了世界上最好的田径队——由明星教练阿尔贝托·萨拉查（Alberto Salazar）管理的耐克俄勒冈项目（ Nike 's Oregon Project）。

然后一切都崩溃了。她的衰落和她的崛起一样引人注目，她在上面的视频专栏里第一次分享了这个故事。凯恩没有成为女孩们在体育运动中无限潜力的象征，而是成为了又一个被不惜一切代价赢得比赛的文化击败的杰出年轻运动员。

这个问题如此普遍，以至于在耐克（Nike）上一段广告凯恩（Cain）的视频中出现的唯一一位女性运动员——花样滑冰运动员格雷西·戈尔德（Gracie Gold）也受到了影响。2014年这则广告播出时，和凯恩一样，戈尔德被认为是一个天才，有足够的天赋在下届奥运会上赢得金牌。戈尔德被困在一个系统里，她被迫变得越来越瘦。戈尔德饮食失调，甚至到了想要结束自己生命的地步。
