“Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme!”
More than three decades after the film “Cool Runnings” (1993) turned Jamaica’s bobsleigh team into a pop-culture symbol, the country is heading back to the Olympics — this time riding a sleigh loaned by Korea and carrying a résumé that now includes international victories.
Jamaica secured quota spots for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics in three events: women’s monobob, men’s two-man and men’s four-man bobsleigh. The women’s two-woman team sits first on the reserve list. It marks another step forward for a tropical nation that has steadily carved out space in a sport dominated by cold-weather powers.
