Winter Olympics Betting - Will Snow Leopard Kwame Earn Gold?

The 2010 Winter Olympics opens in Vancouver's BC Place this Friday, 12th February and amongst the host of earnest and ardent competitors taking on some of the most spectacular sporting events is one Kwame Nkrumah-Acheampong, otherwise known as The Snow Leopard, representing Ghana in both The Slalom and The Giant Slalom.

The Snow Leopard will be the big story of the Winter Olympics, as the first Ghanaian ever to qualify for any event and bookmakers Paddy Power have recognized this by offering a variety of betting options on the subject.

Human interest/fairytale has brought this story to the forefront of Olympic and International press coverage. Kwame born in Glasgow, grew up in Accra, Ghana's capital, moved back to the UK in 2000 where he got a job as a receptionist in a ski centre in Milton Keynes. An obvious natural talent, he has successfully reduced his World Ski Federation points from over 1,000 to the requisite 120-140, building a huge following in Ghana where he is ascending the heights of National Hero.

Whether enthusiasm and dedication is enough to scale the heights of Olympic Glory is dubious and the anxiety of the situation will clearly also contribute to the outcome of Kwame's endeavours but by betting on The Snow Leopard's degree of failure to acheive Gold than to suceed this is a market that could be worth a flutter!
