jamaica olympics triplets.

The teenage ski-racing triplets Helaina, Henri IV, and Henniyah Rivers are on a mission to represent their mother’s country of Jamaica at the Winter Games. On top of that, they hope to open more doors for Black athletes in a predominantly white sport. It’s a dream launched when their father found a pair of skis as a kid. Henri has already qualified for the slalom event, while his sisters are close. The triplets have traveled globally to chase races in an effort to qualify. Their story is often compared to the Disney movie, “Cool Runnings,” about the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team.
