With the opening ceremonies of the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in South Korea just two months away, another amazing story of the competitive spirit has emerged. The Nigerian Women’s Bobsled Team is training to become the first team of any kind from Nigeria, to qualify for the Winter Olympics in Bobsled. Against all odds, this team’s dream is on the verge of coming true, despite coming from a country where it never snows!

A glimpse into the future of how we will all be paying someday, Visa has created NFC-enabled payment gloves, commemorative stickers and Olympic pins, which all allow seamless and secure payments with a simple tap at any contactless-enabled payment terminal.
