The Nigerian Bobsleigh Team Racing Towards History by Urukpe: 7:28am On Mar 31, 2017 |
Fighting freezing winds, bone-breaking speed and up to five g-force, the Nigerian women's bobsleigh team are training hard in western Canada. Driver Seun Adigun and brakewomen Ngozi Onwumere and Akuoma Omeoga are all former professional track and field athletes. Their practice times on the ice run are fast - and they are aiming for a historic first. No bobsleigh team from Nigeria or any country in Africa has competed at the Olympics. The team's dream is on the verge of coming true. The Nigerian bobsleigh team only needs to complete three more competitions to qualify for the 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_zgLjbfIbQ http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-39436437 1 Like

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!! These ladies are just too much ! Doing this all on their own and getting support from people all around the world is highly commendable. I wish them the best paradventure they fail to qualify which I think will not happen, I personally remain highly proud of their patriotism and brave attitude. |
