Did we forget that Jamaica sent a team to the '88 winter games?
How dare they try to achieve something that they shouldn't!!!
Blasphemy!!!
Funny thing is that they're competing again this year in the 2-man bobsled.
Jamaica is back for 2014 winter games for the 2 man bobsled, but they did not qualify for the 4 man. They use track athletes and they are strong athletically, but it's true, they can't really practice on a cold bobsled course.

The Jamaican national bobsleigh team represents Jamaica in international bobsledding competitions. The team first gained fame during their debut in the 1988 Winter Olympic Games in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, where they were seen as underdogs inasmuch as they represented a tropical nation in a winter sport. The team returned to the Winter Olympics again in 1992, 1994, 1998, and 2002. The team failed to qualify for the 2006 and 2010 Winter Olympics. Led by driver Winston Watts, Jamaica qualified for the 2014 Winter Olympics in the two-man.
