K-J is excited to be back at Winter X after missing the 2010 event due to Dutch National Paralympic team commitments. This three-time Mono Skier X medalist is fearless on the course and is known for some spectacular crashes. The Netherlands may not be famous for its skiers, but K-J -- who was paralyzed from the waist down in a snowboarding accident in 2001 -- is definitely a favorite to medal. In addition to athletics, his "real job" is acting as an educator and liaison between disabled and able-bodied people.
