个人情况

13岁的时候，DanielMancina被诊断为色素性视网膜炎，如今他的双眼几乎完全失明，但双目失明不是他滑滑板的终点。他作为一个盲人滑板运动员，打破了世界记录。

It’s 2022 now. Daniel Mancina, 35, broke the record for the skateboard(滑板), according to Guinness World Records.

现在是2022。根据吉尼斯世界纪录，35岁的丹尼尔·曼奇纳打破了滑板纪录。

Mancina grew up in Michigan. When he was a young boy, he would snowboard during the winter seasons. One day, he read a magazine and knew that skateboarding could help improve his snowboarding skills. Then he decided to spend more time on the skateboard. At the beginning, he knew nothing about skateboarding and couldn’t play it so well. It wasn’t until he moved to a different neighbourhood during his middle school years and met a group of skaters that Mancina began to truly love skating.

曼奇纳在密歇根长大。当他还是个小男孩的时候，他会在冬季滑雪。一天，他读了一本杂志，知道滑板可以帮助提高他的滑雪板技能。然后他决定花更多的时间在滑板上。一开始，他对滑板一无所知，玩得不太好。直到他在中学时期搬到了另一个社区，遇到了一群滑冰运动员，曼奇纳才开始真正热爱滑冰。

However, at just thirteen years old, doctors told Mancina that he had an eye problem. In just a year and a half, he lost vision in his left eye. Mancina stopped skateboarding. A few years later, he picked up the board again and filmed a video of himself skateboarding with the help of a cane(手杖 ). The video was shared by the Tony Hawk Foundation, now known as The Skatepark Project. It made Mancina decide to return to the sport although he is now completely blind.

然而，只有13岁的时候，医生告诉曼奇纳他有眼睛问题。仅仅一年半，他的左眼就失明了。曼奇纳停止了滑板运动。几年后，他再次拿起滑板，用手杖拍了一段自己滑板的视频。这段视频由托尼·霍克基金会分享，现在被称为滑板公园项目。这使得曼奇纳决定重返这项运动，尽管他现在完全失明了。

“Being a blind skater, I have to take my time to feel obstacles(障碍物) and have a good understanding of them before I start skating,” said Mancina. “I rely on my white cane the most. I use it to know my environment and to find obstacles while skating.”

曼奇纳说: “作为一名盲人滑冰运动员，在我开始滑冰之前，我必须花时间去感受障碍，并对它们有很好的理解。”。“我最依赖我的白色手杖。我用它来了解我的环境，并在滑冰时发现障碍。”
