Pita Taufatofua will compete in the men's 15 km freestyle in cross-country skiing on Friday, little over a year after putting on a pair of skis for the first time.
The 34 year old, who represented Tonga in taekwondo at the Rio Summer Olympics in 2016, only confirmed his qualification three weeks ago and said it has taken a lot of hard work and sacrifice to make it to South Korea.
"I'll never be 100 percent ready, I don't think anyone ever is," he said.
