Danny Casper 尽管持续生病仍率领美国冰壶队

美国男子冰壶队24岁的队长丹尼·卡斯珀克服了吉兰-巴雷综合征的影响,将参加2026年意大利科尔蒂纳丹佩佐冬奥会。2024年6月在数月虚弱症状后确诊,卡斯珀在本周三的首场比赛中带领球队击败捷克。尽管仍有疼痛和虚弱,他仍专注于追求金牌。

丹尼·卡斯珀通往2026年冬奥会的历程以一种罕见的神经疾病为标志,该病于2024年2月开始。最初将颈部和背部疼痛归为混合双打锦标赛的疲劳,但很快他面临严重症状,包括手臂和腿部的剧痛、手脚麻木,以及进食或发短信等基本任务的困难。最初的医疗检查没有答案,导致阴暗的想法,正如卡斯珀对Yahoo Sports所说:“有一段时间,忘了冰壶吧。想想明天能不能活下去?”“n“n2024年6月,美国奥林匹克和残奥委员会在佛罗里达安排进一步检查,结果诊断为吉兰-巴雷综合征,这种情况是免疫系统攻击神经导致肌肉无力。医生告知卡斯珀没有治愈方法,但通过治疗和疗法恢复可能需要8个月到一年。他缺席了2024-25冰壶赛季初期,队友使用替补队长,然后逐渐回归。“n“n来自纽约郊区的卡斯珀11岁时在阿兹德利冰壶俱乐部开始冰壶,受父母影响。作为多运动运动员,他在观看约翰·舒斯特2018年奥运金牌并得到教练鼓励后选择了冰壶而非足球。18岁时于2019年移居明尼阿波利斯,在明尼苏达大学学习,并在查斯卡冰壶中心与卢克·维奥莱特、本·理查森等人合作。“n“n他的球队,现包括领投艾丹·奥尔登堡和候补里奇·鲁奥霍宁,在2023年世界大学生运动会获得银牌,并在2023年美国全国赛中获得亚军。2025年11月他们在奥运选拔赛中击败舒斯特队,随后在12月的全球赛事中获得资格。作为世界第六的兼职运动员——卡斯珀在阿尔法·罗密欧担任行政职务——他们面临与全职国际对手不同的工作与训练平衡挑战。“n“n尽管仍经历手部无力——如系鞋带或开瓶子需要帮助——和持续不适,卡斯珀的决心依然存在。正如候补里奇·鲁奥霍宁所言:“他能在这种情况下打出这样的表现,真是不可思议。”卡斯珀的目标未变:“目标始终是获胜。”
