Ultimate Promotions Sponsors Olympic Athlete in 2010

Right: Kwame "The Snow Leopard" Nkrumah-Acheampong

Nkrumah-Acheampong is the first Ghanaian to qualify for the Winter Olympics.

Kwame, known as The Snow Leopard, first skied just over six years ago when he got a job as a receptionist at a snow centre in the UK.

Two years later he skied for the first time outdoors on a real mountain in Val D’Isere, France. His talent shone through in some indoor races and that natural skill subsequently took him to competing in FIS races in Europe and ultimately Olympic qualification.

During the 2010 Vancouver Whistler Olympic and Paralympic games we were selected as the official pin supplier for his first race at the Olympic level. Kwame represents what the Olympics is really about: achieving a goal regardless of winning or losing.

Kwame continues to race at the World Cup level and has a charity set up to help preserve Snow Leopards. If you wish to find out more, join his facebook group or visit his web site.
