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, where they were seen as underdogs as they represented a tropical nation in a winter sport. The team returned to the Winter Olympics again in 1992, 1994, 1998, 2002, and 2014. 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 bobsled.
