VIDEO: Jamaican Olympic Ski Hopeful Benjamin Alexander on NBC

In case you haven't heard of him, Benjamin Alexander is a name to watch. The Jamaican ski racer (who currently lives and trains in Jackson, Wyoming) is hoping to be the first to represent his nation in the Olympics as a ski racer. It's kind of like Cool Runnings all over again - in fact, Alexander actually got some mentorship from Jamaican bobsled team member Dudley Stokes (who did make it to the 1988 Olympics). Learn more about Alexander's story in this NBC short, and right here on TGR.
