Jamaica's bobsled team is determined to overcome financial issues and challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic as its four-man lineup returns to the Winter Games for the first time in 24 years.
Jamaica's bobsled teams have been a welcome sight at the Winter Olympics ever since the nation, known more for its tropical climate, beat the odds to qualify for the 1988 Calgary Olympics, a feat that inspired the feel-good Disney film "Cool Runnings."
But the team has faced difficulties in its preparation for the Feb. 4 to 20 Beijing Games due to travel restrictions, with the members training together for the first time in September.
