Nigeria has etched its name in global sporting history by becoming the first African nation ever to compete in the 2-Woman Bobsleigh event at the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (IBSF) World Cup.
The breakthrough moment came as Nigeria’s dynamic duo, Simi Adeagbo and Kewe King, took to the ice in Cortina D’Ampezzo, Italy, an iconic venue renowned for world-class winter sports.
For the first time in the World Cup’s long and prestigious history, Africa was represented in the two-woman bobsleigh category. Adeagbo and King delivered an inspiring performance, showcasing determination, courage, and exceptional athletic ability on one of the sport’s most challenging tracks.
Their participation signals a new era of inclusion and competitive ambition for Nigeria and the African continent, inspired by President Bola Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Mandate for sports.
