Nigeria’s women’s bobsled team – formed in 2016 – will represent the country at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
The 3-member team, consisting of driver Seun Adigun and brakemen Ngozi Onwumere and Akuoma Omega, qualified for the event after 5 qualifying races in the United States, as well as in Canada.
Solomon Ogba, president of the Bobsled and Skeleton Federation of Nigeria, says he hopes Nigerians can appreciate “the work, the discipline and the personal sacrifices,” of the team.
