Nigeria's women's bobsleigh team will make history in Pyeongchang this month as they become the first Nigerians - and the first African sled - to compete at a Winter Olympics.

They were track and field athletes before switching to winter sports, with Adigun competing in the 100m hurdles at the London 2012 Olympics.
