Jean Luc Baker is a great candidate. He developed his skills through years and years of hard work dedicated to becoming an Olympic level ice dancer. Plus he couldn’t be a better representative. He demonstrates his ability to be a great team member. But most of all, every time he steps on the ice he does so with grace and humor and his joy for the sport shines through. You couldn’t have a better athlete to represent your county. And this year with Covid and injury they didn’t let adversity stop them. My vote goes to Jean Luc Baker.
