Hätte mir vor zwei Monaten jemand gesagt, dass ich hier gemeinsam mit und dank @steffi.schneider90 auf dem Podest beim Weltcup in @lakeplacidadk stehe, ich hätte viel dagegen gewettet. Ich bin unendlich dankbar und glücklich über dieser zweiten Platz! 📸 @rekords _______________________________________________________________ #germanbobladies #weltcup #worldcup #bobsleigh #bobteamschneider #teamtöpfer #wirfuerd #lakeplacid #teammaikthies

After a great week of training in Altenberg we had to pull out of the races after 1 run in the 2man due to an injury to my rib from loading into the sled. Also @sblanchet2 pulled his hip flexor and is currently rehabing back home to hopefully join us later in the season. Still lots of positives to take and we try again in Winterberg this week. Hopefully its had time to settle and the extra precautions allow us to compete to the best of our ability this weekend. 📸 @ollybutterworth @deveregroup @lizardheatltd @dare2b_sports @raptor_weight_vests @held_uk @qwixskinz #bobsleigh #bobsled #altenberg #germany #saxony #europacup #setbacks #keepmovingforward #wegoagain #athlete #wintersports #teamgb

That winning feeling 🙌🏼 🥰💥💪🏼

Dieting is not an instant process, and that’s why it’s hard. But that’s also why it’s worth doing. Don’t be dismayed when you haven’t dropped four dress sizes in a week, or wonder where your washboard abs are after a day of eating healthy. Results from dieting takes time, but when they do come they’re definitely worth it. - - - - - #diet #nutrition #workingout #eatclean #beijing2022 #ghanaian

The more difficult the victory, the greater the happiness in winning. . . First race back on tour, was feeling very nervous. Pulled from experience, and I’m happy to report we walk away GOLDEN! Solid day of racing with all the ladies in today’s first World Cup race of the 2019/2020 season. Thanks to my family, teammates, coaches and sponsors for believing in me.

Good day with @bentenspeed kicking off the World Cup season with a bronze medal! • • • @teamcanada #beasting2beijing @karbonsports @b2ten #bobsleigh

Cheers to another week of doing that thing we do 🛷🛷🛷 . Like life, this sport is filled with ups and downs. All sorts of things can get thrown your way but as the saying goes "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it". [Charles Swindoll] In the midst of it all we have a choice. What will you choose? . . . 📍 Park City, UT #bobsleigh #slayallday #teamcanada #letsgo #perspective

Dear Mom, There will never be enough words in this universe to express how much I love you, how proud I am of you and how grateful I am for however the stars, moon, and energy aligned gave me you to call Mommy. You literally have defied the odds, tricked statistics and have stayed true to yourself... shaking your hips, tongue out with your middle fingers up. (If you know Suzie at any point during this lifetime you know how true this is). . You taught me to love, have compassion, be patient, embrace my uniqueness, stand my ground, never give up and to have an open heart free of judgement. People gravitate to you and of course they would, your hugs are the best, you create a safe space and duhhhh your cooking heals all wounds (even those you can't see). . I want to wish you a historic Birthday (12/4), we weren't suppose to have you this long and thankfully your stubbornness to fight against Lupus and all its wickedness is more firey than ever. Your life hasn't been all that easy, many road blocks, loses and darkness. You have never waivered from optimism and making those around you feel like hope and light are just around the corner. Happy 62 my hero, my confidant, my teacher, my home, my heart, my Mommy! . You make this world a better place! Keep shining, I love you to the moon and back again. Enough always! Your first born, Boo

It's amazing this year how many post I have seen announcing athletes switching nations they compete for. No matter the reason: funding, marriage, dual citizenship, repping family heritage, escaping a toxic environment, it is so great to see the opportunity be taken and used. It's almost trendy now 😉 . 5 years ago I decided to switch (I actually prefer not to use the term "switch", as I have and always will be 🇯🇲) to Team Jamaica. For me the 2 deepest reasons were to come home to my other nation, repping all of my heritage. The second, for over all representation of multiple nations, races and cultures in the olympic games specifically winter sports, more specifically sliding sports (bobsleigh). 🚄💨 . Unfortunately I was met with quite a lot of negativity for my decision and switch. Mostly from the team and nation I competed for for so long previously. It was brutal, heartbreaking and lonely. Seeing how supportive people are (fans, sponsors, sport, competitors and even the nation/team previously competed for) for these athletes doing what is best for them now, really shows hope for the future. It shows we CAN have multiple loyalties and ultimately it comes down to being loyal to our true selfs and representing that! . I wish all of my fellow transitioning athletes the best on their quest with their new teams and roles. Your decision was not easy nor taken lightly, the journey has had it's road blocks, the gossip mills will continue to turn. Stay strong and compete your way on your terms with the most joy you've had competing to date! . #multinational #TeamJamaica #TeamUSA #olympian #firsts #competeyourway #multination #representation #culture #loyatytotrueself #opportunity #compete #olympics #sport #sports #switch #transition
