What a bloke.

John Aska is one of the best Linebackers in Britain, whether he played for the London Ravens, Oxford Bulldogs/Saints to the current teams such as the London Warriors or even Manchester Titans.

Derice, ya dead?

Wish that the entire movie was available.

He did get badly bruised, I remember seeing the bruise as he dropped his trousers on BP to show everyone at home! imagine doing that in todays namby pamby world where we dont even have to think of just the children but the adults too!

1.04 My own Olympic claim to fame ?? I have actually held that gold medal. Could have stolen it but I did RD a favour and left it on the side table...

They killed it on that second run.

Children's television in the 1970s folks.

Oh wow! The Opel Bob at 24:31. The USA built something similar in 1983. Sponsored by Lederle, it was very narrow, and looked like a little rocket. With no articulation, it was a crash fest on ice. It was supposed to go to the Sarajevo Games, but it was just too dangerous, and wasn't brought over to Europe.

Feb 27 or 28 1988?

So many great memories from those days.

Dieu merci il ne leur est rien arrivé lors du crash

👍💪🥰

i thought the swiss team sled and suits were red and white like in cool Runnings

OMG 😱

17:08

They didnt pickup the sled and walk it across the finish line?....... ☹

I used to love going to watch the Ravens. 👍

Great to see some footage of the Ravens. Those were the days of watching the Ravens in the spring and the NFL on Channel 4 later in the year.

18:20

Fabulous John.

Great man

Russia should never have been allowed to participate in ANY Olympic competition.EVER!!!!!

And it happened live on national television!!!!!

I remember this one well. On air he dropped his trousers and showed the world a huge bruise on his arse! Could not do that on children's telly today.

The egg was apparently eaten

Anyone have footage of the other Jamaican runs that year?

No Desperado or false bravado from John Noakes Good bloke!

How many boys did John reach out to and influence? Brave, cheerful and positive. Wet, woke, soyboys are in need of him now.

that music :D

East Germany sponsored by BMW? WTF?

John and shep what team rip true legends ♥️🙏🏻

This was taken from a 1986 edition of Grandstand

Who won the race? I dont really remember,nor do I care. But I'll never forget these guys. RESPECT.

Came here after watching Bejing 2022 🙌🏾🇯🇲🇺🇲🥰

17:10- do you want to kiss my lucky egg?

wohooo 17:07 cool runnings love this team man

Just curious, what's that little jingle that plays twice after every run? Was it some sort of signal for the competitors?

Quand le bob jamaïcain se plante,c’est à peu près comme dans le film,mais par contre dans le film,dans mon souvenir ils portent le bob sur leurs épaules et sont applaudis en remontant la piste pour passer la ligne d’arrivée (on voit même le père de junior bevil ,c’est celui qui fait tomber tout le monde aux sélections jamaïcaine de sprint aux débuts du film,enfin bref on voit son père ouvrir son blouson et il a un maillot de la Jamaïque) donc le passage de la ligne d’arrivée est vraiment romancé par rapport a la réalité

« Balance man🇯🇲cadence man🇯🇲trace la glace c’est le cooooooollll rasta !!!rasta rockett »//« qu’est-ce que tu fumes sanka man?? Je fume pas j’expire »//« sanka aime la Jamaïque et la Jamaïque 🇯🇲 aime sanka »//« NOTRE PÈRE QUI ÊTES A CALGARY,QUE LE BOBSLEIGH SOIT SANCTIFIE,QUE NOTRE MÉDAILLE ARRIVE,QUE VOTRE VOLONTÉ SOIT FAITES SUR LA TERRE COMME DANS LE VIRAGE NUMÉRO 7,LIBERTÉ ET JUSTICE POUR LA JAMAÏQUE »//« sanka t’es mort? Ouais man🇯🇲 »

Jamaican team final run begins at 17:08

Great film. James Coburn is such a badass. Rick Wakemen's music is superb as well.

JAMAICA BEST ! 👏👏👏👏

Today my mom was told about the movie Cool Running at the dr office visit when she wore her rasta colors. She's 73 yrs young and a huge Bob marley fan. She's looking forward to seeing the movie! Bless up all!

Feel the rhythm feel the rhyme from here on out it’s bobsled time

It's interesting that a tropical country can compete in a winter sport like this and do well

I was at few games in 85, have photos of players, had friend on defense, linebacker Ken Smiley was QB I thought Was 202 at Chix on Charlie Flight

I came here after watching the movie 🖤💚💛👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
