PYEONGCHANG (Reuters) - Taking part in the Pyeongchang Games is not the end goal for Ghana's first skeleton racer Akwasi Frimpong -- he wants to set the foundations for more Winter Olympians from Africa.
A converted track athlete who also tried bobsleigh, Frimpong's switch to skeleton -- and to representing the country of his birth - has opened the door to an Olympic debut.
