Following in the footsteps of those who came before them, the Jamaican bobsleigh team is causing quite a chatter at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.
If you’re a millennial who had an affinity for Disney classics throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, the phrase “feel the rhythm, feel the ride,” uttered in the film Cool Runnings, might sound familiar, and that’s the exact vibe.
Representing Jamaica in the women’s monobob is Mica Moore, as pilot Shane Pitter and push athletes Andrae Dacres, Junior Harris, Tyquendo Tracey and Joel Fearon will compete in the two-man and four-man sleds.
This season marks a breakthrough for the team, following its appearance at the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton North American Cup in November. The team made history with its first-ever international bobsleigh win, a four-man gold in Whistler, British Columbia, Canada.
