With the recent announcement that the Jamaican Bobsleigh Team will be competing in this year’s Winter Olympics, they have not competed since 2002, it seems timely to watch and review the classic film “Cool Runnings“.

The film was inspired by Jamaica’s first entry into the 1988 Games Calgary, Canada. The film stars the late John Candy and is a true classic; which is funny and entertaining for all the family.

From the warm “sun” of Jamaica to the cold “ice” of Canada, you will laugh at the silliness and cry at the emotion and excitement of this underdog, outsider, call-them-what-you may story; about no matter what – if you have a dream, go for it!

There are plenty of memorable quotes, which you may find yourself using when the occasion arises! So “kiss you lucky egg”; sit down and watch this fabulous film, and get yourself ready for Sochi 2014!
