It's history on two levels on the show today as we not only speak to our first-ever athlete from Trinidad & Tobago, but also that country's first-ever Alpine skier, Nikhil Alleyne, as we learn about the incredible journey that led him to representing his nation at the Milano Cortina Olympics earlier this year. We hear from Nikhil about how he first got into skiing and the challenges he had to overcome pursuing a winter sport from a country not exactly known for its snow. We also learn about the support he received along the way and how his remarkable journey was embraced back home. Added to this, we discover more about his unique training methods, the experiences he had during the Games, and just what it meant to make it to the Olympics and be part of such a historic moment for Trinidad & Tobago. It's an epic chat you won't want to miss!
