The Cuban Ski Jumper ⛷

  • Summary

  • Juan makes a thrilling attempt to become the first-ever, internationally-known Cuban Ski Jumper, as he aims to qualify for the 2022 Winter Olympics. Not really. Instead, he broke four ribs (4!) and punctured a lung while dismounting from the ski lift during family vacation in Breckenridge, Colorado. What followed was a jammed ski lift, a medic team on the top of the mountain, a snowmobile and gurney, an urgent care facility, and an overnight stay in the hospital. 🤕

    The real 2022 Winter Olympics, officially the XXIV Olympic Winter Games, takes place February 4 to 20, 2022 in Beijing, China with venues near neighboring towns of Yanqing and Chongli. Here's a handy link to NBC's day-by-day guide to coverage.
