The Caribbean has done it again.
Trinidad and Tobago has officially made history by qualifying both its two-man and four-man bobsleigh teams for the 2026 Winter Olympic Games in Milan-Cortina, marking a monumental achievement for the nation and the wider region.
This milestone was secured as athletes Axel Brown, Shakeel John, De Aundre John, Xaverri Williams, and Micah Moore, under the guidance of head coach Lee Johnston, finished among the top 17 nations in the world—the cut-off for Olympic qualification.
For a country rooted in sunshine, culture, and carnival, earning a place on the world’s coldest sporting stage is nothing short of extraordinary.
This moment represents more than sport—it’s a declaration.
It says that Caribbean excellence knows no climate.
It says that grit travels.
It says that legacy can be built on ice as powerfully as it is on track or field.
Trinidad and Tobago’s bobsleigh journey adds another proud chapter to the region’s Winter Olympic story—one that began decades ago and continues to inspire new generations. These athletes are not just racing down icy tracks; they are carrying the dreams of a nation and proving that determination can shatter every expectation.
From Port of Spain to the Alps, from warm seas to frozen curves, Trinidad and Tobago is ready.
History has been made.
The world is watching.
And the Caribbean is sliding into the future—at full speed. 🇹🇹❄️🛷
