Errol Kerr qualified in the new event of ski cross, becoming Jamaica's first ski team competitor. Kerr was born and raised in the United States to an American mother and Jamaican father. He was a dual citizen between Truckee, California and Westmoreland Parish in Jamaica. Kerr previously competed with the United States Ski Team, but desired to compete for his father's country. He was also the Jamaican flag bearer.[1]
