Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme, get on up, it’s bobsled time!
Popularized by the 1993 Disney movie Cool Runnings, four Jamaicans improbably qualified for the four-man bobsled event at the 1988 Calgary Olympics.
Now, 26 years later, a two-man team is set to compete in the exhilarating downhill event yet again, but a lack of finances was threatening their dream.
Citizens of the Internet were not about to let that happen. In just a few days, $130,000 was raised on the crowdfunding site, Crowdtilt, ensuring a warm ending for the Jamaicans regardless of their performance on the icy track.
