Prawat Nagvajara
Prawat Nagvajara ((タイ語:ประวัติ นาควัชระ)), born December 1, 1958,〔(Biography ) on the website of the International Ski Federation〕 is a Thai academic and cross-country skier. He is the first person ever to have represented Thailand at the Winter Olympic Games, having taken part in the 2002 and 2006 Winter Olympics. Unsurprisingly, he was therefore his country's flagbearer at the Games' Opening Ceremonies on both occasions.〔("OLYMPICS; Team Thailand Starts And Ends With Skier" ), ''New York Times'', February 8, 2002〕〔("Athletes usher in the Torino Games" ), USA Today, February 10, 2006〕
Nagvajara grew up in Bangkok, and was a member of a teenage rock band. He is currently a professor of electrical engineering at Drexel University in Pennsylvania, United States. Nagvajara has stated that Philip Boit was his inspiration to participate in the Olympics.〔("In Praise of the Lone Olympians" ), Amanda Bauer, ''Time'', February 21, 2002〕
At the 2002 Games, Nagvajara took part in the 30 km race, but was eliminated after being lapped. He then competed in the 1.5 km sprint, and finished 68th out of 71 with a time of 4:14.55 - behind Cameroon's Isaac Menyoli, and ahead of Costa Rica's Arturo Kinch.〔(Cross-country skiing results ), BBC, February 24, 2008〕〔("In Praise of the Lone Olympians" ), Amanda Bauer, ''Time'', February 21, 2002〕〔("If at first you don't succeed ..." ), Associated Press, February 11, 2002〕
At the 2006 Games, he competed in the 15 km classical race. He finished 97th, with a time of 1:07:15.9.〔("They’re Alone Against the World" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', February 18, 2006〕〔("'Dead Last' Prawat Nagvajara and another middle-age American, racing for Costa Rica, did battle." ), ''Philadelphia Inquirer'', February 2006〕
