genetic disorder that affects
and peripheral vision and
left Martin totally blind.
Since his diagnosis, Vincem has worked
hard to overcome any obstacles he faced,
both physically and mentally, in order to
achieve his goals and desire to continue par-
ticipating in athletics.
Martin is classified as a B1, or totally
blind, athlete and in the past he has compet-
ed against other totally blind athletes.
In the 2004 Games, however, the discus
event in Martin's vision class has been
removed from the program.
In order to accommodate those totally
blind athletes wanting to continue compet-
ing the B1 vision class was combined with
the B2 classification.
This means that there are a new group of
competitors Martin will have to face.B2 indi-
viduals have a visual acuity of 20/600 or less.
"Combining the Bl's and B2's will deft-
nitely make a difference on my performance.
I used to be able to beat any B1, but now there
are about five top B2's I have to be concerned
with," Martin said. "On a positive note though,
