It’s called The Rabbit Theory.
That’s what Akwasi Frimpong, Ghana’s first Olympic skeleton slider, calls his new helmet.
The one that he will wear in PyeongChang as the second athlete from his nation to compete at a Winter Games.
Frimpong, 31, tells an incredible story.
He said he was raised by his grandmother Minka in a one-room home with nine other children before joining his mom in the Netherlands at age 8 as an illegal immigrant and eventually moving to Utah.
Frimpong’s full story is here.
Frimpong’s life — before he converted from sprinting to bobsled to skeleton — was chronicled in a 2010 Dutch documentary tilted “Theorie van het Konjin” (translation: The Rabbit Theory).
