The Bahamas Snowboard Team consisting of Korath Wright (athlete), Betsy Cooper (that’s me!) and Alex Neun (photographer) arrived in Nassau, Bahamas yesterday to kick off a big week of media interviews, meetings with people like the Bahamas Olympic Association, Bahamas Tourism, and some sponsors…and of course a bit of sunshine! As the public relations person for this gig, it’s always a great opportunity to come down here and meet a ton of great journalists. The media work a bit differently in the Bahamas though, so it’s not quite as straightforward as at home (Vancouver), but at the end of the day, we get things done! We’ve got a number of TV, print and radio interviews lined up for Korath this week, and look forward to sharing the news of the first-ever Winter Olympian to compete for the Bahamas at the upcoming 2010 Olympic Winter Games! We’ll keep you posted on how things are going, but they are definitely right when they coin the phrase “It’s Better in the Bahamas!”
