2026 Winter Olympics: Adigun Applauds Performances at National Push Championship 

Ahead of the 2026 Winter Olympics in February in Milan and Cortina, Italy, Technical Director of the Bobsled and Skeleton Federation of Nigeria, Dr. Seun Adigun, has applauded athletes who competed at the just concluded National Push Championship in Lagos.

Top athletes like Dickon Ugochukwu, Oloyede Ajibola, Sekinat Alawode and Bassey Grace, led  by Nigerian coaches including Ibrahim Friday, converged on Lagos last Saturday for the National Trials, to boost the country’s qualification for the Olympics.

Adigun, who pioneered the sport and was a member of the historic team that represented Nigeria at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics said: “I am overjoyed at the performances during this edition of the BSFN National Push Championships.  

“We can always expect that in any Olympic season there will be a high level of competition, and these athletes did not disappoint. We had new champions arise and youth athletes that stepped up in champion form,” stressed the former Nigerian sprinter.

Adigun equally expressed satisfaction at the progress and awareness of winter sport in tropical Nigeria.

“It takes a lot to get respect for a winter federation in Nigeria. The level of resilience and dedication that has been displayed from everyone in BSFN has been unmatched from the top down.

“As we prepare to make another push for the 2026 Winter Olympics, we want to ensure that we have the best talent possible and the best representation of Nigeria on display. We can’t wait to show the world what Team Nigeria has to offer.”

The race to the Winter Olympics continues for Nigerian athletes from October 2025 through January 2026 as they will compete in at least 8 races on 3 different tracks in Europe to fly Nigeria’s flag in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo.
