Unfortunately the JB team has once again failed to qualify the 2010 Winter Olympic games in Vancouver. They also came up short for the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy. In fact, their last appearance was back in the ‘94 games (Norway). It was then the Jamaican bobsledders stunned the world by finishing 14th place (ahead of the U.S., Russia, France & Italy). Next up, 2014.

Never mind, you're still the number one bobsled team in the hearts of those who watch. Plus the movie based on the legendary team is still one of the best sports movies.
