I looked forward to seeing the lone Olympian from the Caymans at the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, and was disappointed to see a mere split-second of him! Very brave indeed, to be the sole representative of a nation. But iEyeNews published a very nice photo of him and his background, so I’m happy! Hearty congratulations to Dow and his family.
