Notes

PyeongChang 2018 – skiing gear used by Sabrina SIMADER (KEN) in the downhill. Based in Austria, Sabrina Wanjiku Simader was the only athlete in her delegation, the only woman to wear the Kenyan colours in the snow events, and only the second person to do so after Philip Boit (1998, 2002 and 2006). “It was a dream come true,” explained Boit, who was her coach. “As a pioneer of skiing in my country, I look forward to seeing what she does next.” Athlete donation
