With over a minute behind the Swiss winner Marco Odermatt, Benjamin Alexander on Sunday in Giant Slalom was not nearly at the top places - "But I've won my gold medal already at the opening ceremony," said the 38-year-old with a view of his Role as a flag carrier.
That he has qualified at all, borders a miracle. In 2016, the native Englishman was the first time on ski. "Two years ago I drove my first race."
His career path is an unusual. "But when I experienced the games in Pyeongchang in 2018 in 2018, I wanted to be there myself," said the most popular man on Sunday. "The residue I have, I can not catch up anymore. I would have started earlier, would be more possible," Alexander, inspired by the cult film "Cool Running". The sports comedy is based on the former Jamaican Bob driver Dudley Stokes and its crew, who defied all adversities to qualify for the 1988 winter games in Calgary. "I need challenges. And I want to make the winter games diverse," Alexander said.
