Really cool little story by The Wall Street Journal about a superintendent of 5 buildings in Brooklyn who is training to represent his native country of Kosovo in the 2018 Olympic games just 6 months after discovering his natural talent for racing. Good luck to 36 year old Besnik Sokoli….this has Eddie The Eagle legendary potential.

***If you work for a ski company or any company that could help sponsor Besnik, you should have a sit down and seriously consider doing so. I found his Facebook account so maybe you could reach out to him HERE. If this dude makes it, it might be the underdog story of the year.
