"Snow Leopard" Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong is Ghana's first Winter Olympics Competitor





Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong "Snow Leopard"

Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong, who moved to the United Kingdom in 2000, only took up the sport two years ago when he got a job as a receptionist at a skiing centre in Milton Keynes.

"When I started, people poked fun at me and never took me seriously"
"I think Africans have a good chance of making it in skiing because of our physical structure. The only thing we have to overcome is the cold." Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong
