Twenty-four years after the Jamaican bobsleigh team last qualified for the Olympics at the 1998 Nagano Winter Games, the team made their triumphant and hard-earned return to action.
The Jamaican bobsleigh team captured the world’s imagination in 1988, making their debut in Calgary before inspiring fans around the world thanks to Cool Runnings , the Disney film depicting their epic story.
The team achieved some success in the years that followed - including a surprise 14th-place finish during the 1994 Games - but had been unable to qualify a four-man team since 1998 until driver Shanwayne Stephens and brakemen Matthew Wekpe, Ashley Watson, Nimory Turgott and Rolando Reid achieved Olympic qualification for the 2022 Beijing Games.
