    What these guys do is quite admirable. Qualifying for a bobsled from a country that doesn't have suitable bobsled weather. It's true Jamaica has not yet won a medal or even made it into the top 8 but each time they compete in the winter olympics they get a little closer. They're getting better, slowly but they're getting better.

      Just out of interest, why did you mention those countries in particular?

    The team wasn't comprised of athletes, though. They were recruited out of the army. Most athletes in Jamaica had the same reaction as they did in the movie. "WTF-no. That's a truck load of no."

    Back in February 2013 my son and I went on a cruise that he had won from his work and it was to Jamaica and Grand Cayman Island 🏝 so when we docked in Ocho Rios we went up the top of a mountain on a seated lift so on top u see this museum of there Cultural items and There was the BOBSLED TEAM IN A HUGE PICTURE AND THERE STORY it was COOL RUNNING information there to about the movie. Also there were All these Athletes who were from Jamaica 🇯🇲 in an Glass case who were GREATEST ATHLETES and one stood out to us was SONJIA RICHARDS ROSS who was a Track Star at our UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS COLLEGE we r SOOO proud to call her a TEXAS LONGHORN along with her husband the GREAT AARON ROSS from the football team they meet at the school. It was so awesome to see that this was based off of a TRUE STORY OF THE JAMAICA 🇯🇲 BOBSLED TEAM WAS BORN. Had SOOO much fun there want to Go Back. I just thought I would share this story. IT WAS AWESOME 😎❤️🇯🇲💖👍🧡🧡🧡🤘🤘🤘🥇🏃🏿‍♀️U Go Girl Much Love from the State of TEXAS

    I love watching the film cool runnings and think that the real Jamaican bobsled team done was inspirational. I hope Jamaica continues with the bobsledding and hopefully win some gold. Keep up the fantastic work guys and I hope you continue to inspire people into getting into sports.

    As a Calgarian I can state our city was Jamaican Bobsled Team crazy. They and Eddie the Eagle truly showed what the Olympic Spirit is all about.
    Now the games are about money for the corrupt IOC, TV cash, sponsorship and advertising. Calgary had the opportunity to bid (and most likely win) host city for 2026 and our city held a plebiscite and overwhelmingly voted it down due to the cost and corruption.
    The Jamaican Bobsled Team is fondly remembered in Calgary and always will be.......the IOC can kick rocks.

    I remember the Jamaican bobsled team. I was in California back then watching the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. They, Eddy the Eagle, and Japanese ice skater were the under dog favourites. Other favourites were Katerina Witt of East Germany.
