To be very truthful, the first time I really took notice of the 'Winter Olympics' was when i saw the movie ' Eddie the Eagle'. I consider myself to be knowledgeable in sports, so i was surprised when after seeing the movie, I discovered that I knew close to nothing about the winter olympic games.
I can say that same goes for almost every Nigerian, and so many still do not know about such games. But we all know about the Summer olympics games, Paralympics and even the Commonwealth games!
But you really cannot blame us too much,afterall if the weather is about 25 degree celcius, people will be making a fuss about how cold the weather is. To us snow sounds like a fairytale!

But all that is about to change,thanks to these beautiful ladies.

Nigeria will be competing in the Winter Olympics for the first time when Seun Adigun, AkuomaOmeoga and Ngozi Onwumere compete in Bobsleigh at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in South Korea.

Now let's meet the ladies...
