威斯康星州的两名运动员史蒂夫·埃姆特和劳拉·德怀尔正准备在米兰即将举行的残奥会上代表州参加冰壶比赛。他们在麦迪逊冰壶俱乐部练习,在通往国际舞台的个人历程中强调这项运动的包容性。这是德怀尔首次参加残奥会,也是埃姆特的第三次亮相。

在威斯康星州麦克法兰,冰壶运动员史蒂夫·埃姆特和劳拉·德怀尔正在为2026年3月6日开始的米兰残奥冬季运动会加紧训练。这对组合与麦迪逊冰壶俱乐部的七人团队一起练习,拥抱这项埃姆特于2014年意外发现的运动。“我完全不知道这项运动是什么,”埃姆特回忆自己的招募过程。德怀尔的加入同样是机缘巧合。“当时的教练给我发邮件说:‘你想成为残奥运动员吗?’”她分享道。“我说:‘马上报名!’”对于两个十几岁儿子的母亲德怀尔来说,这次机会是一个里程碑。“我很感激他们看到我找到这个梦想、经历这个旅程并朝着目标努力,”她说。“如果我要去残奥会,那就是下一步。”正在准备第三次残奥会的埃姆特强调了赛事的激烈程度。“你必须准备好面对压力、面对镜头、灯光和人群,”他指出。“你投壶时会有1万人。”两名运动员都在其他运动受伤后转向冰壶。他们赞扬这项运动的包容性:“成为优秀冰壶运动员不需要走路,”他们解释道。“黑人、白人、男性、女性、180磅、45磅、有能力、无能力——都不重要。冰壶运动如此包容每个人。”运动员们将于2月24日启程前往米兰,准备在庆祝韧性和包容性的全球舞台上竞争。
