Two more training heats will be held on Monday. Hopefully the Nigerian representatives can show some improvement before the real heats begin on 20 February.<\/p>\nIn two new heats held at the Pyeongchang Games on Sunday, Nigeria\u2019s bobsled team of Seun Adigun and Akuoma Omeoga are still to rev up their game, clocking the worst times at the two sessions and ending up as the 20th out of 20 teams.<\/p>\n
Adigun was the pilot at the two sessions of Training\u00a0 Heats 3 and 4. In Heat three,\u00a0 starting as the ninth team, the Nigerian girls clocked 52.96. In Heat Four, they were slower, with 53.6 seconds.<\/p>\n
The Jamaican team of\u00a0Jazmine Fenlator-Victorian\u00a0and Carrie Russell in contrast are doing much better. They made a time of 51.78 in the third heat, the 16th best time and 51.71 in the 4th heat, the 11th best time.<\/p>\n
There are still no sure leaders in the training heats, after four sessions. Team USA of Elana Meyers Taylor and Lauren Gibbs, won in the third heat\u00a0 with a time of 50.90 secs. Germany\u2019s Stephanie Schneider and Annika Drazek returned the second best time of 50.93.<\/p>\n
In the fourth heat, the two teams reversed their positions. Schneider and Drazek ended slower but with the session\u2019s best 51.25, while team USA led by Elana Meyers Taylor made the finish line in 51.33 secs.<\/p>\n
Two more training heats will be held on Monday. Hopefully the Nigerian representatives can show some improvement before the real heats begin on 20 February.<\/p>\n
Outside of the Training heat, the Nigerian girls are still basking in the spotlight of being their country\u2019s first representatives at the Winter Olympics.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach person we see, we\u2019re like, \u2018Let me hug you\u2019, because we know it\u2019s not easy to get here and we know the things we had to do to get here. So any time we see another African country we embrace them.\u201d \u2013 Nigerian bobsledder Akuoma Omeoga said in Pyeongchang on Sunday.<\/p>\n
