Mica Moore will kick off Jamaica’s participation at the XXV Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina when she lines up in the women’s monobob on Sunday morning at the Eugenio Monti Sliding Center in Cortina d’Ampezzo.

The event starts at 4:00am, with the 25 athletes who qualified for the Olympics having the first of two runs on Sunday followed by the other two on Monday. The medallists are decided by the lowest cumulative time over all four runs.

The 33 year-old British born Moore is scheduled to go off in position number 20 in the first run while the order of the second run is to be decided by the results from the first run.

Moore, who was the Welsh women’s 100m champion in 2017, had competed for Wales as a part of the women’s 4x100m team at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014. She also represented Great Britain at the 2017 Junior Bobsleigh World Championships where she won gold in the two-woman bob.

The Opening Ceremony flagbearer started competing for Jamaica in January 2025 after getting her Jamaican citizenship through her grandfather, Venson Byfield, a month earlier.
