Imagine excelling in not just one, but two completely different Olympic sports. That's the audacious goal Adele Nicoll is chasing. Fresh off her success in shot put, Nicoll has her sights set on the bobsleigh track at Milano Cortina 2026. But here's where it gets controversial: can an athlete truly dominate in both summer and winter Olympic disciplines? Nicoll believes so, and her rapid rise in bobsleigh is turning heads. In just two seasons, she's already claimed a World Cup silver medal, a feat that usually takes pilots years to achieve. This winter, she's gunning for qualification in both monobob and two-woman events, aiming for a top-seven finish to set a new standard for British female pilots. And this is the part most people miss: she's doing all this while still competing in shot put, with her eyes on a Summer Olympics appearance down the line. “I love doing them both and truly believe I can excel at a high level in each,” she told The Guardian. Nicoll's ambition raises fascinating questions about athletic versatility and the limits of human potential. Can she pull off this unprecedented double? Only time will tell, but her journey is already inspiring. What do you think—is Nicoll's dual-sport dream achievable, or is she biting off more than she can chew? Let us know in the comments!
