You don’t need to represent a snowy country to compete in the bobsled. Just ask Seun Adigun (@seun_msamazing), center, the captain of Team Nigeria (@bsfnigeria), the first African nation to participate in the event. In 2014, @seun_msamazing, a track-and-field star, watched bobsled for the first time. About 8 months later the U.S. was having a tryout in Dallas. She went and was invited to train with the team. “I was a member of the U.S. team for a year when I learned that Nigeria had never had a bobsled team, and then I found out that Africa had never been represented by any man or woman in this sport at all.” @seun_msamazing built a bobsled out of wood and named it the Maeflower, after her late sister, who she used to call Mae-Mae. She also persuaded 2 other track-and-field athletes — @akuomaomeoga, left, and @ngozi.onwumere, right — to join the team and be her brakemen. “After we qualified, there was this uproar within Nigeria, the Nigerian diaspora, non-Nigerian people,” @seun_msamazing said. “We are this Cinderella story, and we didn’t really mean it to be this.” It comes with a lot of pressure, but she says she’s not thinking about it that way. “I put a plan down, and I am ready to execute that plan,” she says. @benlowy took this portrait of @akuomaomeoga, @seun_msamazing and @ngozi.onwumere for @nytmag’s Olympics issue.
