This is a 1993 movie of the first Jamaican bob sled team at the 1988
Winter Olympics. I actual remember this story from the Calgary
Olympics. Four sprinters, who were hoping to run track and field, but a
fall ends this dream, but still wanting to be Olympians, take up bob
sledding. Irv Blitzer (John Candy) becomes their coach. This movie is
not only motivational, but funny. A lines that sticks, "You dead man?"
This line is in my vocabulary. The Jamaicans find their style, with a
lucky egg, and their own song, "We got a Jamaican Bob Sled Team." It is
amazing how sometimes dreams hang by a thread, and theew is always
opposition. Sometimes opposition comes from those you love; sometimes
from those you don't know; and sometimes from others who disrespect
you. Whatever the case you have to stand and fight.
