Sliding headlong into big challenge

Former sprinters power Nigeria's bold bid to make bobsled history

The arrival of Africa's first Olympic bobsled team - pilot Seun Adigun and brakers Ngozi Onwumere and Akuoma Omeoga, representing Nigeria - has become a hot topic at the Winter Olympics for their groundbreaking qualification in the speedy sliding sport.

"She (Onwumere) hates it and she loves (Omeoga) it, while I am in the middle," Adigun said of their common interest in "relaxing" by riding roller coasters.
