Looks like Cool Runnings is getting a real-life reboot.

For the first time in 24 years, Jamaica is sending a four-man bobsled team to the Winter Olympics next month.

The team has qualified for an Olympic spot for the first time since 1998. In fact, Jamaica qualified for three events – Four-man, two-man, and women’s monobob.

The original 1988 Jamaican bobsled team became a global sensation, inspiring the 1993 John Candy movie Cool Runnings.

The Winter Games are set to begin on February 4th in Beijing.

What are your favorite Winter Olympic events? Do you prefer the winter or summer Games?
