Hold that tweet: Athletes tiptoe around Olympic do's, don'ts

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — One might expect Mark Tuitert to be happy after helping give birth to one of the feel-good stories of the Pyeongchang Olympics.

Far from it.

The Dutch speed-skating gold medalist from the 2010 Vancouver Games pulled strings to help secure funding for Akwasi Frimpong, the skeleton athlete from Ghana whose unlikely Olympic journey is writing headlines far beyond Africa and his home in the Netherlands.

Tuitert's company, which sells chewing gum, kicked in sponsorship, too.

But Frimpong and Tuitert will have to wait until after the games to commercially milk his newfound attention.
