Sive Speelman: South Africa’s Sochi Olympic Snub Condemned

Sive Speelman

South African slalom skier, Sive Speelman, failed to meet the minimum requirements for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.  He would have been South Africa’s only athlete in the games.  Critics say that the governing body, Sascoc, which makes these determinations, acted unfairly; Sascoc denies that it did.  Speelman, his family, his fans, and his country are extremely discouraged and disappointed.
