I was the first Nigerian Winter Olympian, but I won't be the last. My journey to @Beijing2022 is about changing the narrative of the game, the sport and those who are able to compete, regardless of race, gender expression and economic status.

With 500 days until @Beijing2022 , I’m sharing this throwback.w/ 2 failed attempts to make the Olympics in the triple jump, I took a leap of faith by reimagining my dream & made history. In the next 500 days, I’ll be training hard to see this reimagined dream realized yet again.

I wrote #SleighAllDay to positively affirm my niece & every girl out there. So that they know their dreams can be big, bold,& audacious. And even though they may have to overcome adversity & fears, I hope #SleighAllDay empowers girls to believe in themselves and never give up.

Things won’t always go our way. But whatever it is, we have to find a way. I still plan on reaching my fullest potential in both skeleton and bobsled this season. And I still dream of a day when we don’t have to fight so hard just to get to the starting line.✊🏿

That’s why I’ve created a @gofundme campaign because I know having the necessary financial support is the key to transforming the narrative for women of color in sport yet again. Link to donate:

Help Simi get to the Beijing 2022 Olympics, organized by Simidele Adeagbo

I’ve always dreamed of becoming an Olympian. My dream became so much … Simidele Adeagbo needs your support for Help Simi get to the Beijing 2022 Olympics

Flashing back to winning medals 🥉🥉at Lake Placid NAC skeleton☠️races in 2018. This was the first time an African athlete finished on the podium in an international skeleton race & the 1st time the flag of Nigeria was raised at a medal ceremony of an @IBSFsliding competition.🇳🇬

I made history by becoming the 1st 🇳🇬 Winter Olympian. I was the 1st, but I won’t be the last. I’m launching the @SimiSleighsFDN , a non-profit with a mission to build a better world for women and girls through sport, to pass on the baton of leadership to a new generation.
