* SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee.
South Africa has a competitor at The Winter Youth Olympics currently on the go in Innsbruck. Surprised? Me too!
16 year old Sive Speelman, an ‘Alpine skier’ is participating in 4 events.
The athlete is currently there with his coach.
In addition to the coach, Sascoc have sent a 4 person support team, which includes Sascoc CEO Tubby Reddy, all flying business class (the athlete and coach flew economy) and no doubt staying in fancy hotels, using chauffeur driven vehicles and all the other essentials of an arduous ‘working trip.’
Not bad work if you can get it.
