78 Days Until The Olympics
I received an email yesterday from Yosuf and his brother Robel. Both of them, as well as another brother Benyam, are graduates of NCS. I taught Robel to ski when he was in 6th grade, and he raced for three years on our cross country team. He then spent four years racing for the Colorado Rocky Mountain School, and then on to the University of New Hampshire Ski Team. Click on this text to access a short video interview with race footage from the 2006 Games in Torino. Robel is currently training for the Vancouver Olympics, and he remains the only Ethiopian ever to compete in the winter games.
