Summary

Summaryβ€œI grew up in Nigeria with dreams of the Olympics after watching Atlanta ’96 at age 14. I sprinted, long-jumped, and trained relentlessly for Beijing 2008, only to fall short and cry out to God in disappointment. When I saw Nigeria’s bobsled team article, I felt God’s callβ€”to skeleton, a sport I’d never imagined. My very first run at 120 km/h on ice felt like a leap of faith: terrified, yet trusting God’s strength. With only months to train, He opened a path for me to make history as the first African woman skeleton Olympian. Marching in the opening ceremony, I clung to faith over fear, believing His plan was greater than mine. πŸ˜ŠπŸ™β€
