开普科德本地人肖恩·奥尼尔入选美国残奥会冰壶队

马萨诸塞州开普科德居民肖恩·奥尼尔被选入美国代表队,将参加即将于意大利举行的残奥冬季运动会冰壶项目。奥尼尔在大学时遭遇车祸导致腰部以下瘫痪,四年前发现这项运动并迅速达到国际水平。他的入选标志着他成为开普科德冰壶俱乐部第四位残奥选手。

残奥冬季运动会将有残疾运动员参加,定于3月在意大利举行,跟在2月冬季奥运会之后。冰壶这项常被描述为冰上国际象棋与掷铁饼结合的运动,美国队将与十个国家争夺金牌。 奥尼尔在大学时期因严重车祸腰部以下瘫痪,长久以来热爱体育。他参加过波士顿马拉松,大约四年前在福尔茅斯的开普科德冰壶俱乐部开始接触冰壶。尽管经验有限,他还是入选国家队。 「我从未想过自己会成为残奥选手,」奥尼尔说。他补充道:「我一直以为我的运动成就顶多是跑一两次马拉松。完全没想过登上世界舞台、参加残奥会。在电视上打竞技体育听起来太疯狂了,但那就是我要做的。『超现实』这个词都不足以形容。」 教练皮特·安尼斯赞扬了奥尼尔的快速进步:「他是个好队友,在他年轻的职业生涯中,策略和知识出类拔萃,而且是个伟大的领导者。」 奥尼尔的经历为其他残疾人士提供了启发。「一个简单的答案是你没有任何限制。但我认为要理解自己的残疾、拥抱自己的能力,并最大限度地发挥它,成为最好的自己,这也很重要,」他反思道。 对家乡情深似海,奥尼尔表达了对开普科德的喜爱:「我爱开普科德,这是我世上最喜欢的地方,就在开普。」他称赞俱乐部的包容性,将其称为「我喜爱开普事物的一个缩影」,并感到荣幸能将这些价值观带到国际舞台。「想到这个,说起这个我就激动。」 这一成就使奥尼尔成为开普科德冰壶俱乐部第四位残奥选手,突显了该设施在适应性体育中的作用。
