Pioneer African Olympic skier returns to Sarajevo slopes for documentary

More than four decades later, he strapped on his skis and returned to the same slopes for a new documentary about the Senegalese sportsman and his legacy. A few weeks before the Milan-Cortina Olympics open on February 6, Gueye arrived back in the Bosnian capital for the film project and found a city that still embraced him. "You always remember your first time. The first time you fall in love, your first job, your first paycheck," the cheerful 65-year-old, who retired from skiing some two decades ago, told AFP.
