With the lack of competitive team sports due to the coronavirus, it was refreshing to see the excellent article in the April 8 Salt Lake Tribune about Ghana’s Akwasi Frimpong’s success on the skeleton. I wish him success in his quest for the 2022 Olympics.
His coach Zach Lund was an outstanding skeleton athlete. As you stated, he was fifth in the 2010 Olympics and also World Cup Skeleton Champion in 2006-2007. Utah can be proud of both as they represent the best in athletics.
I wish them both success in 2022.
