Adele Nicoll from Welshpool hits a bump at the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics but isn’t giving up just yet! Competing as Britain’s first-ever woman in the Olympic monobob, Adele was initially in 11th place but finished 18th after a tricky final run. She admitted feeling a “bit gutted” about slipping back, despite showing promise with her earlier runs. Mistakes on a tough track cost her, but she’s optimistic about learning from this experience for future Games.
Now, she’s gearing up for the two-woman bobsleigh alongside Ashleigh Nelson, a former sprinter-turned-bobsledder. Nelson’s wealth of experience in athletics is set to bring a fresh dynamic to the team as they aim to shine on the icy track later this week. TNT Sports pundit Lamin Deen believes Nelson’s background will be a game-changer, not just in bobsleigh techniques but in bringing a new edge to their training.
Get ready for more high-speed excitement as Adele and Ashleigh hit the track! 🛷✨
