Support the snow leopard at the olympics!
Hey everyone!
The winter olympics have started, and it's a special one for me...
Someone I know (or rather, knew) is competing, Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong, the snow leopard.

I used to work with him a few years back, no one really took him seriously when he said he really enjoyed skiing and wanted to do so competatively.
He learned to ski on an indoor slope just a few minutes from where I live, here in Milton Keynes, didn't qualify for the 2006 winter olympics, but he's made it to the 2010s! It was awesome to see him in the parade at the opening ceremonies :)
And he qualified on ability too, this isn't just some "take pity on the country who only sent one guy in" qualification... He won his spot, fair and square!
Seriously, please... He's in the Men's Giant slalom on Feb 21st and the Men's Slalom on the 27th.
Watch for him!
Good luck Kwame!
