African winter sports athletes have suffered a blow after the International Olympic Committee denied a request to reinstate continental quotas in bobsleigh and skeleton for the Beijing Games, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Thursday.

Ghana’s Akwasi Frimpong was just outside the skeleton top 60, a prerequisite to qualify for the February 4-20 Beijing Olympics, when his chances faded after he tested positive for COVID-19 while training for his last three qualifying races.

“In this specific case, the Olympic qualification process for Beijing 2022 was proposed and approved by IBSF in December 2019 and this was subsequently approved by the IOC Executive Board, including the athlete quota,” IOC Sports Director Kit McConnell wrote in the letter obtained by Reuters. Four years ago, Frimpong qualified for the Pyeongchang Games via the quota system despite being ranked 99th in the world.
