The Journey Wasn’t Peaceful: Jamaican Bobsled Team Fails to Qualify for Vancouver
Movies, Olympics February 4th. 2010, 5:35pmUnfortunately for fans, and segment producers at NBC, the Jamaican bobsled team did not qualify for the 2010 Winter Olympics.
“We’ve been in battles for many, many years,” Chris Stokes, a founding member of the Jamaican bobsled team more than 20 years ago, told The AP in a phone interview. “This is one more. But it’s disappointing, no question about that. The guys worked really hard and did well. Not qualifying, it’s by no means a failure. It’s a step going forward.”
Former U.S. bobsled pilot Todd Hayes, will coach the team for the 2014 games in Sochi. A recent crash forced him to retire. Sounds like a movie plot…
