Supporters of the team were pumped as well. There were plenty of references to the 1993 film Cool Runnings, which was about the debut of Jamaica's first Olympic bobsled team in 1988.

The team raised $75,000 to make the idea of competition even possible. The money raised helped buy equipment, sleds, tools, fees, and other gear.

Adigun had said back in the early days of the crowdfunding campaign, "I was inspired to start the Nigerian Women's Bobsled team in hopes of being the first ever African representative, men or women, to qualify for the Winter Olympic Games in the sport of Bobsled."

She did just that.
