Anak Alor
Kiko dan adiknya Pius kembali menjalani hari harinya sepulang sekolah dengan melihat perangkap bubu miliknya di kedalaman 10 meter. Kulitnya bertambah legam terbakar matahari, tak menghalangi bersama adiknya mengayuh sampan kecil terombang ambing di laut lepas. Rupanya hari ini ikan enggan masuk ke dalam perangkap bubu bamboo miliknya. “ Ah memang belum waktunnya, mungkin esok atau lusa.”
Mereka adalah anak alam yang percaya bahwa laut Alor akan memberikan nafkah padanya. Alam yang memberi secara adil dan menetapkan hari baik baginya. Kiko menarik nafas dalam dalam di permukaan sebelum menyelam kembali untuk melihat perangkap bubu lainnya, yang tak jauh dari tempat bubu pertamanya.
Masker kayu dengan kaca mata plastik yang sudah berlumut dipinggirnya, menjadi saksi kehidupan anak anak alam pulau Alor. Mereka biasa menyelam sampai kedalaman lima belas meter, sampai sekitar satu menit. Laut adalah segalanya, yang menjaga mereka dan memberikan nafas kehidupan bagi mereka.
Menyenangkan melihat bagaimana masyarakat Pulau Alor memelihara ekosistem kehidupan lautnya. Ketika sebagian orang di pelosok negeri ini melakukan pemboman atau menangkap ikan dengan potas. Mereka justru memungut ikan secukupnya melalui perangkap bubu bambu.
Senyum mereka mengembang menatap kami manusia manusia modern, ketika mereka mengayuh sampan kecilnya kembali ke pantai. Dan hari semakin terik, dari kapal Phinisi saya melihat sebuah persahabatan antara alam dan manusia. Sampai kapankah ini masih bisa bertahan ? untuk saling menjaga tanpa merusak, untuk menerima apa yang alam bisa berikan.

“Every morning I come downstairs and he’s already done the dishwasher, he’s already packed his lunch, and he’s ready to go,” Ruthe’s father, Ben, tells CNN Sports.
“He’s just a disciplined kid. He goes to bed early, he looks after himself, he eats well, he looks after his sister. He’s just a good kid around the house in all ways, really. We’re very lucky.”

Ruthe is next due to compete in the 1,500 meters at the Maurie Plant Meet in Melbourne on Saturday, and one target time to aim for will be his dad’s fastest time of 3:41.22 – three hundredths of a second faster than Ruthe’s current personal best.
But he still has a way to go before he can call himself the most decorated runner in his family. Dad Ben and mom Jess are both former national champions who represented New Zealand on the world stage, while his maternal grandparents won European championship medals for Great Britain.
His grandmother, Rosemary Stirling, arguably had the most impressive achievement: an 800m Commonwealth Games title from 1970.
Despite his family pedigree, Ruthe was never under any pressure to take running seriously. His parents, in fact, didn’t allow him or his sister Daisy to train at all until they were 13, never wanting their identities to be tied solely to running.
“It feels like it’s the right decision about now,” says Ben.
But as he gradually starts to realize his potential, Ruthe, when pushed, admits to having big goals in the sport.
“If I had to pick one thing, definitely Olympic gold,” he says. “I feel like that’s most runners’ dream and the biggest thing you can actually win. So that’ll definitely be the top of my bucket list.”
The 2032 Olympics in Brisbane, Ruthe adds, would be a nice target. And as for the Los Angeles Games in three years’ time? “I’d actually love to try and qualify for LA 28,” he says. “I feel like that’ll be a tough goal. But if I do that, I’ll be really happy.”
Already, Ruthe’s name is being mentioned in the same breath as Norway’s Jakob Ingebrigtsen, the most successful middle-distance of this generation. It was his record as the youngest-ever four-minute miler that Ruthe took last week, and the New Zealander also beat Ingebrigtsen’s 1,500m record for a 15-year-old earlier this year.
Ingebrigtsen’s success, Ruthe says, has given him hope that he too can “have a good future” in the sport. But his biggest source of motivation comes not from the two-time Olympic champion, but from those closest to him – his training group led by coach Craig Kirkwood and athlete Sam Tanner.
The pair were instrumental in Ruthe’s recent mile time of 3:58.35, and it was five-time national champion Tanner who paced him perfectly around four laps of the track on his way to the record.
