Fails WP:NATHLETE and WP:GNG. Simply qualifying for the Olympics is not enough to establish notability, which does not exist. Longhornsg (talk) 22:49, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'd expect a six-time national champion to have coverage, though unfortunately I don't think there's any digitized Bermudian news archive. It seems he later became a lawyer, see here ("He also thanked his father, Alex Cooper, himself a respected lawyer and a sailor who represented Bermuda in the Olympics. He described his father as a 'humble, fun-loving person' although he added that those who knew him from being on his sailing crew might use different adjectives") and here ("Katherine Freisenbruch and Alex Cooper will spend two years learning the practical aspects of the profession during four 'seats' in different practice areas within the firm before 'graduating' as solicitors in September 2020. They are likely to be the first of several Bermudians to receive training at Kennedys, with the international firm having invited Bermudian law students to apply for London-based training contracts starting September 2019 and September 2020").
