Moore’s grandfather, Venson Byfield, came to the UK in the Windrush generation and settled in Wales.
She began her sporting career as an athlete – representing Wales at the 2014 Commonwealth Games – before switching to bobsleigh.
Moore left the British winter sports programme in 2022 after claiming she had witnessed “damaging and offensive behaviour”.
After a three-year break she returned to the ice competing for Jamaica at the Europe Cup in Lillehammer in January 2025.
“The journey was never going to be easy,” added Moore in her Instagram post., external
“This is the biggest message to myself to never ever give up.
“To keep going even when hurting. To keep going when tired. To keep going when others try to halt you. To keep going even when times are happy.”
Jamaica’s bobsleigh team – made famous by the 1993 comedy film Cool Runnings – will have two other crews in Milano Cortina, also qualifying for the four-man and two-man events.
The XXV Winter Olympic Games in northern Italy run from Friday, 6 to Sunday, 22 February.
The BBC will be broadcasting more than 450 hours of live action from the Games.
