Calgary flame

From Mr William R. Morosse

Sir: Please pass on to Taki that there were at least two gold medallists of African descent in the recent winter Olympic Games (High Life, 2 March). There was an African-American woman named Vonetta Flowers who won gold in the two-woman bobsled, and an African-Canadian by the name of Jarome Iginla who won a gold in the men's hockey. Iginla is currently the leading scorer in the National Hockey League, playing for the Calgary Flames.
