In this photo taken December 14, 2009, skier Errol Kerr, who will represent Jamaica in the Vancouver Olympics, is seen after a practice at his home in Truckee, California. Most Jamaicans have never seen snow, but a young skier will be wearing the tropical island's colours to Vancouver's slopes in 2010, and could bring home the Caribbean's first Winter Olympics medal. Kerr, born to an American mother and a Jamaican father, grew up a dual citizen between the Lake Tahoe region of the Sierra Nevada, where he moved with his mother as a child, and Westmoreland, Jamaica's westernmost parish.
Andre Lowe, Senior Staff Reporter Minister of Sport, Olivia 'Babsy' Grange is thrilled following the qualification of Jamaican skier Errol Kerr to next month's Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, Canada, and underscores that it presents several opportunities for the island's sports tourism thrust.
