Mica Moore will open Jamaica’s campaign at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics when she competes in the women’s monobob on Sunday morning in Cortina d’Ampezzo.
The 33-year-old athlete is scheduled to start 20th in the first run at the Eugenio Monti Sliding Center. The competition features 25 qualified athletes and spans four runs over two days, with medals awarded based on the lowest cumulative time.
Moore brings a strong sporting résumé, including a Welsh 100m title in 2017, relay representation at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, and gold in the two-woman event at the 2017 Junior Bobsleigh World Championships for Great Britain.
She began competing for Jamaica in January 2025 after gaining citizenship through her grandfather, Venson Byfield, and has also been named Jamaica’s Opening Ceremony flagbearer.
Moore’s Olympic appearance signals Jamaica’s continued expansion into winter sports and highlights the growing diversity of its international athletic representation.
