Samantha Albert will make history this summer as the sole member of Jamaica’s first Olympic equestrian team.
Like the famous Jamaican bobsleigh team of the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Albert and horse Before I Do It will be raising the profile of a sport few people know about on her home island.
She probably hasn’t got a shot at the Gold, but she does have heart.
Living in a city that thrives on success and results, we often lose sight of the fact that the fight is sometimes worth more than the prize. Albert’s story reminds us that winning isn’t everything. Her passion, commitment and determination capture the Olympic spirit more than any medal.
And if she’s lucky, maybe Disney will use her story for an equine-iteration on Cool Runnings.
