布拉德·古舒为圣约翰斯最后一场布赖尔赛做好情感准备

2026年布赖尔赛将于周五在纽芬兰与拉布拉多省圣约翰斯开赛,这标志着装饰丰富的领队布拉德·古舒参加的最后一场加拿大男子冰壶锦标赛。这位45岁的六次全国冠军和奥运奖牌得主预计将面临比赛压力与家乡情感的交织。由布拉德·雅各布斯领衔的卫冕冠军队刚刚赢得奥运金牌后抵达。

冰壶比赛的竞争激烈程度延续到意大利科尔蒂纳最近举办的奥运会之后,在那里加拿大布拉德·雅各布斯队击败英国队夺得金牌。现在,焦点转向圣约翰斯玛丽·布朗中心举办的蒙大拿布赖尔赛,将于周五开始,18支队伍分为两个9队小组。每组前三名晋级季后赛,于3月8日达到高潮,胜者将代表加拿大参加3月27日至4月4日在犹他州奥格登举行的世锦赛。 对于布拉德·古舒来说,本届赛事作为他的最后一场布赖尔赛具有深刻意义。古舒于2017年在本地赢得首个全国冠军,积累了六次加拿大冠军、一座世锦赛冠军、2006年与拉斯·霍华德、杰米·科拉布和马克·尼科尔斯一同的奥运金牌,以及2022年的铜牌。他与长期搭档三垒尼科尔斯、二垒布雷特·加兰特和先发杰夫·沃克组成队伍,开赛对阵魁北克的让-米歇尔·梅纳尔。 “我想在家乡众人面前表现出色,也不希望每场比赛都哭。”古舒说。他补充道:“现在就是终点,如果我们不赢,这将是最后一场赛事,会有一些情绪。我相信球迷们会不时表达感激,那也会让我相当感动。” 与此同时,包括两年前加入的加兰特在内的雅各布斯队将在首场比赛面对爱德华王子岛的泰勒·史密斯。加兰特回忆与古舒在2017年布赖尔赛的胜利时说:“我们来到圣约翰斯时会很开心,刚结束这一周,乘胜追击。我真的迫不及待想开始了。” 来自拉布拉多市的尼科尔斯附和道:“所有的情感。现在会非常相似……如果情绪化,那就情绪化吧。我不觉得那有什么不对。那只是表明我们在乎。” 其他值得注意的参赛者包括安大略省的杰登·金,他是首位领导布赖尔赛队伍的黑人男子,其三垒迪兰·尼佩奇是聋哑人,使用人工耳蜗。爱德华王子岛派出由史密斯领衔的三人队。 古舒回顾2017年:“我当时说,那一周是我人生中最精彩的周之一,但再也不想经历了。九年后我们又回来了,但我会尽量享受。”
