Jamaican Olympian Tyquendo Tracey made his mark in his winter sports debut over the weekend, finishing 21st in the two-man bobsleigh event at the IBSF World Championships in Lake Placid on Sunday. However, the sprinter-turned-bobsledder was quick to clarify that his participation in winter sports does not signal his retirement from track and field.

In the days leading up to the competition, Tracey took to Instagram to address speculation surrounding his future in athletics. "For all the people who been asking to see what I been up to, here you go. Oh, and yes, it's back to the track next week Monday (today). I will still be out there representing. I'm far from done," he posted.

Tracey, alongside teammates Shane Pitter and Tyreek Bucknor, registered a combined time of 2:48.71 over three completed heats, placing them 21st in the standings. The Jamaican team was unable to complete the fourth heat, which ultimately kept them from improving their overall time in a competitive field.

Germany’s Francesco Friedrich and Alexander Schüller dominated the event, taking the world title with a total time of 3:39.32 across four heats. They were closely followed by compatriots Johannes Lochner and Georg Fleischhauer, who finished just 0.03 seconds behind. The podium was completed by Adam Ammour and Benedikt Hertel, who secured third place with a time of 3:40.15.

For Tracey, his stint in bobsleigh adds another layer to his already accomplished career as a sprinter. The 2018 NACAC 100m champion has been a mainstay in Jamaica’s track and field setup and represented the country at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. His transition to bobsleigh mirrors the path taken by other Jamaican sprinters before him, but he remains firm in his commitment to returning to the track.
