We are overjoyed that Adele Nicoll, our charity ambassador, has been selected to represent Team GB at the upcoming Winter Olympics as the first British Monobob Olympian. Adele’s selection is a landmark moment, not just for British sport, but for the young people she inspires across the country.
Gwen Evans, Feathers Welshpool Manager, said:
“Adele is a true local hero and an inspiration to everyone in our community. The young people are incredibly proud to see someone from their town achieve such an extraordinary milestone. We are looking forward to supporting her and celebrating her journey. Adele’s story shows what is possible with determination, hard work, and belief.“
David Jones, CEO, added:
“Adele’s achievement is nothing short of remarkable. Her journey to Team GB, and becoming the first British Monobob Olympian embodies the values of The Feathers Association – perseverance, courage, and inspiring the next generation. She has not only excelled in her sport, but also dedicates time to supporting future generations through her nutrition advisory role with us, and I know the whole team here look forward to proudly cheering on Adele at the games”
Beyond her sporting success, Adele serves as our Nutritional Advisor, travelling across the UK to deliver workshops that empower and inspire young people. Through her hands-on sessions, she encourages healthier lifestyles, teaches the importance of nutrition, and motivates the next generation to reach their potential both in sport and wider life.
Adele, who also excels in Shotput and bobsleigh, is a shining example of dedication, resilience, and community spirit. Her story celebrates personal achievement while uplifting the young people and communities she continues to inspire every day.
