There’s a black athlete at the WINTER games?

[Paulie]

I guess so. Is that unusual?

I know of at least four black women competing: one from my neighboring town who’s on the U.S. bobsled team, and three Americans who make up the Nigerian bobsled team. Plus there are at least a couple more American women on the Nigerian team; I’m assuming they’re both black, as well. Most of these girls were recruited for their events because they ran track in college.

I did see one black, French figure skater last night. This is by far the most black athletes I remember from any winter Olympics.
