Some of you will need to stick to bobsled- others might have a future in film. Thanks to Airbnb for forming a partnership with us - just *days before the 2026 Olympics in Cortina. Behind the scene you’d have seen me furiously throwing emails out to create a home for us in Italy. Thank you @magpiejd for your work on putting all of us up!

2026 was more than a season — it was a chapter.

Track. Bobsled. Travel. Sacrifice. Setbacks. Comebacks. Growth.

Two sports, one mindset: keep showing up and keep pushing forward.

Proud of what I accomplished, thankful for what I learned, and hungry for what’s next. 🇯🇲🔥

Bobsleigh has taught me that greatness isn’t about where you come from it’s about how badly you’re willing to chase your dream. Every push, every sacrifice, every setback, and every victory represents something bigger than me. #jamaica #bobsleigh #olympics #jbsf

Proud is an understatement. 🇯🇲❄️

To every athlete who gave their heart, every supporter who believed in us, every sponsor who invested in the vision, and every organizer and volunteer who made the Olympics possible — thank you. The stage may be global, but it’s built on the work of countless hands behind the scenes.

To Jamaicans at home and across the world, your messages, prayers, and energy carried us further than you know. We felt the love every step, every push, every moment.

To the people of Italy, thank you for your incredible hospitality and warmth. You made us feel welcome from day one.

And to everyone who donated through our GoFundMe and supported in any way — your generosity helped turn a dream into reality. We are forever grateful.

This journey is bigger than us. We represent a flag, a people, a legacy. 🇯🇲

Thank you for standing with us. The work continues. 💪🏾✨ #Olympics #TeamJamaica #gratitude #jbsfed @montefiore_pmr @backcountry @kmpulito @northcountrysportscouncil
