Arriving in Vancouver on Thursday, February 11, 2010, Jamaica’s
Errol Kerr made the trek from the airport to the athlete’s village.
As the only athlete from Jamaica to qualify for any sport, he
would be his nation’s sole representative for the 2010 Winter
Olympics.
In late January, International Ski Federation (FIS) officials notified
the Jamaica Ski Federation that Errol Kerr met the governing body’s
criteria that qualified him among the top 32 skier cross athletes in
the world to compete in the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Kerr qualified to participate in the 2010 Winter Olympics based on
his worldwide ranking and points earned from competition in FIS-
sanctioned events. Since December 2009, he has participated in
ski cross events in Austria, France, Canada and the United States.
