Philip Boit, previously Kenya's only Winter Olympic athlete, hopes the African nation may yet have a future at the Games after countrywoman Sabrina Simader's debut in Alpine skiing in Pyeongchang. "I am the happiest guy in this whole Olympics," Boit told reporters on Saturday. Now I say to her, lift the sport of skiing in Kenya higher than where I lifted it." But being the only Kenyan athlete in Pyeongchang has not been smooth sailing for Simader, who is nicknamed 'Snow Leopard'. She had to turn to crowd souring to raise money to buy equipment and to support her training and trip to Pyeongchang and said Kenya's Winter Olympic organisation has plenty of room for improvement.
