#135: Cool Runnings

We’ve all seen, and enjoyed, the film “Cool Runnings” many time and perhaps we can finally believe that Jamaica has a bobsled team!

For anyone who hasn’t see the film a group of Jamaican sprinters who can’t make it into the Summer Olympics decide to enter the Winter games instead, while you would think that this plot would lead to “Hilarious Consequences” the film does turn out to be funny.

I just think it a bit low of the British Olympic team to try to tap into the popularity of the “feel good film of the nineties” but entering an Heptathlet into the 2-woman bob.

Has Nicola Minichiello invented a new sport the “Octathlon” comprising: 100m hurdles, high jump, shot put, 200 m, long jump, javelin, 800 m, and bobsleigh!
