0:09:24 > 0:09:27COOLIDGE: I'm sorry, Derice, nothing can be done.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29But I was born to compete in the Olympics.
0:09:29 > 0:09:31Then you're gonna have to work on your boxing or your cycling.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34Those are the only other two sports in which Jamaica competes.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37I am not a boxer. I am a runner.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39And it wasn't fair.
0:09:39 > 0:09:43It rarely is, my boy. It rarely is.
0:09:46 > 0:09:50Well, Poppa, what do I do now?
0:09:50 > 0:09:55Look, Derice. Let it go, will you? Let it go.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58You will have another chance in four years.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Yeah.
0:10:02 > 0:10:07Mr Coolidge, who's the other man in the picture with my father?
0:10:07 > 0:10:09Irving Blitzer. He's an American who lives here.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Unless, of course, he's been arrested or shot.
0:10:12 > 0:10:15Excuse me? Well, he's a bookie now.
0:10:15 > 0:10:18Takes his bets in a small pool hall just past Sandy Bay.
0:10:18 > 0:10:20Isn't that the gold medal around his neck?
0:10:20 > 0:10:23Oh, yeah. That lunatic was an Olympic bobsledder
0:10:23 > 0:10:26who tried to get your father to switch sports.
0:10:26 > 0:10:31He had some theory about using track sprinters to push the bobsled.
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Some ridiculous thing like that. Can you imagine,
0:10:34 > 0:10:36a Jamaican bobsledder?
0:10:38 > 0:10:42- And you sure this man, he lives on the island? - Oh, yes.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45- Mr Coolidge, thanks a lot. - Good, Derice.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49- Oh. Could I borrow this picture? - Bring it back.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Yes. Thanks a lot, Mr Coolidge.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54- Oh. Just one more thing. - Hmm?
0:10:54 > 0:10:57What's a bobsled?
0:10:58 > 0:11:00That's a bobsled!
0:11:00 > 0:11:04Oh! So a bobsled is a pushcart with no wheels.
0:11:04 > 0:11:08- That's what it looks like here. - Let me see that.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14OK. "The key elements for a successful sled team...
0:11:14 > 0:11:19"are a steady driver and three strong runners to push off down the ice."
0:11:19 > 0:11:22Ice?! Ice!
0:11:22 > 0:11:27Well...it's kind of a winter sport, you know?
0:11:27 > 0:11:31You mean winter as in ice? Maybe.
0:11:31 > 0:11:35You mean winter as in igloos and Eskimos and penguins and ice?
0:11:35 > 0:11:39Possibly. See ya.
0:11:39 > 0:11:41Where you goin'? I'm gonna take a hot bath.
0:11:41 > 0:11:44I'm gettin' cold thinkin' about all this ice.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48- No, man! You're gonna be part of my bobsled team. - What you need me for?
0:11:48 > 0:11:51Who...is the best pushcart driver...
0:11:51 > 0:11:53in all of Jamaica? You're lookin' at him!
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Then you're gonna do it? No!
0:11:56 > 0:11:58Hey, man, you could be famous.
0:11:58 > 0:12:02You could have your picture on a Wheaties box.
0:12:02 > 0:12:06But you said no, and that's all right, because I don't need ya.
0:12:06 > 0:12:09Everybody is gonna want to be on my bobsled team.
0:12:09 > 0:12:12Look, star, let me tell you a little somethin', all right?
0:12:12 > 0:12:16When you need something from me, you don't have to hand me a bunch of lines.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18All you have to do is look at me in the eye and say,
0:12:18 > 0:12:20"Sanka, you are my best friend.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23"We've been through a whole heap together and I really, really need you."
0:12:26 > 0:12:27Sanka, you're right.
0:12:27 > 0:12:31And you are my best friend. And we've been through a whole lot together.
0:12:31 > 0:12:35Heap. Heap. Sorry, man. A whole heap together.
0:12:35 > 0:12:37And I really, really need you.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40And I really, really need you. Forget it!
0:12:40 > 0:12:42But you just said if I said that, man... All right, all right,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44all right.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46All right, man.
0:12:46 > 0:12:48SANKA: So, let's talk about this Billsled team.
0:12:48 > 0:12:51DERICE: No. Bobsled team. SANKA: Whoever.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55SANKA: Now, about the Wheaties box. I'm gonna be on it by myself, right?
0:12:55 > 0:12:57No, man, you're gonna be on it with me.
0:12:57 > 0:12:59MAN ON RADIO : 'And down the stretch they come! Tumbleweed is holding on...

0:13:35 > 0:13:37Uh-huh. '..Tumbleweed held on momentarily, but realistically,
0:13:37 > 0:13:40'only a fool would put their money on Tumbleweed.

0:13:44 > 0:13:46Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49That guy won two gold medals?

0:14:09 > 0:14:11Well, that depends on who's asking.
0:14:11 > 0:14:15My name is Derice Bannock. This is my team-mate, Sanka Coffie.
0:14:15 > 0:14:17Greetings, Sled God.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19We were just wondering if you'd be interested
0:14:19 > 0:14:23in coaching the first Jamaican bobsled team.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Derice, remember the radio? Radio?
0:14:26 > 0:14:29Stick. Shooting with the stick. Let's go!
0:14:29 > 0:14:32Let's go, Derice!
0:14:44 > 0:14:46Come on, coach.
0:14:46 > 0:14:49Just help me get started.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51DERICE GROANS
0:15:00 > 0:15:02Oh! Greetings, Sled God.
0:15:02 > 0:15:06- Sorry to bother you, but you're the only one who can help us. - Get out! Get out!

0:15:22 > 0:15:27I'll come back tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day.
0:15:27 > 0:15:30No! Look, whatever your name is... Derice.
0:15:30 > 0:15:34All right, Derice. Let me lay out some difficulties for you.
0:15:34 > 0:15:38Snow - you don't have any. It's 900 degrees out there.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Time - you don't have any. The Olympics are in three months.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45And me - you don't have me.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49As far as I'm concerned, the sport of bobsledding no longer exists.
0:15:49 > 0:15:51I don't want to do it, I don't want to coach it,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54and most of all, and I mean most of all,
0:15:54 > 0:15:59I don't want to be within 2,000 miles of anyone who does.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03- Now, did you follow all that? - Then how come you still have that poster on the wall?
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Is that what's bothering you?
0:16:11 > 0:16:16There. Is that better? Are you happy?
0:16:23 > 0:16:27Like I said... my name is Derice Bannock.
0:16:27 > 0:16:30I'm Ben Bannock's son.
0:16:33 > 0:16:36I haven't seen this picture in 20 years.
0:16:36 > 0:16:40Huh. Would you look at me then?
0:16:40 > 0:16:43Whoo! Would you look at me now.
0:16:43 > 0:16:47Please, Mr Blitzer, just give me a chance.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50If I don't have what it takes, we'll forget the whole thing.
0:16:50 > 0:16:53Believe me, kid, you do NOT have what it takes.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55- But you thought my father did. - Your father was one of
0:16:55 > 0:16:59the toughest competitors I ever saw.
0:16:59 > 0:17:02He ran the 100 metres in ten-flat.
0:17:02 > 0:17:05Well, I run it in nine-nine.
0:17:07 > 0:17:11Come on. Coach me.
0:17:12 > 0:17:16Sorry. You're a couple decades late.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19Oh, I see. It might be easy for you to walk away from me,
0:17:19 > 0:17:22Mr Blitzer, but you can't walk away from this -
0:17:22 > 0:17:24Twenty years ago you came down here to see
0:17:24 > 0:17:27if you could make a Jamaican sprinter into a bobsledder,
0:17:27 > 0:17:29and you never got that chance.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33Look at me, Mr Blitzer. I'M your chance.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35Take it.
0:17:40 > 0:17:41HE EXHALES HEAVILY
0:17:41 > 0:17:45CROWD CHATTER, REGGAE MUSIC PLAYS
0:17:46 > 0:17:48All right, everyone quiet down.
0:17:48 > 0:17:52Nice group here. Now, for two of you lucky people,
0:17:52 > 0:17:56our trip to the Olympics starts right now.
0:17:57 > 0:18:01And I want to introduce you to Mr Irving Blitzer
0:18:01 > 0:18:05who's going to be our expert bobsled coach.
0:18:06 > 0:18:08Sanka. Hit it, man.
0:18:08 > 0:18:13You're on the air, Sled God.
0:18:13 > 0:18:16Gentlemen, a bobsled is a simple thing.
0:18:16 > 0:18:18MAN: Yeah, so's a toilet!
0:18:18 > 0:18:20CROWD LAUGHS
0:18:20 > 0:18:24Thank you. Thank you very much. Basically, what you're looking to do
0:18:24 > 0:18:30is get your sorry rear ends from the top of an icy chute to the bottom.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33You're ziggin', you're zaggin'.
0:18:33 > 0:18:37It's the biggest, coldest roller coaster you've ever been on.
0:18:39 > 0:18:41Ice.
0:18:42 > 0:18:45Oooh. Ooh.
0:18:45 > 0:18:49IRVINE: Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
0:18:49 > 0:18:52I almost forgot, uh...
0:18:52 > 0:18:55One minor drawback to this delightful winter sport,
0:18:55 > 0:18:58is the high-speed crash.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00That hurt. Ah.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Always remember, your bones will not break in a bobsled.
0:19:04 > 0:19:06No, no. They shatter.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Eee!
0:19:13 > 0:19:17So... who wants in?
0:19:30 > 0:19:34Look, Baldy's here.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36Glad you could make it, man.
0:19:36 > 0:19:40Don't touch me! No problem.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44So what's your name? Yul Brenner.
0:19:46 > 0:19:50Well, it's good to have you as a team-mate, Brenner.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Let's get one thing straight, Bannock.
0:19:53 > 0:19:57We may be on the same team, but I am no-one's team-mate.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Long as you come here to bobsled. Hey, listen, man,
0:20:00 > 0:20:02the only reason why I come here
0:20:02 > 0:20:05is to get off of this stinkin' island.
0:20:05 > 0:20:10If I have to take one of those bobsleds to do it, then all right.
0:20:10 > 0:20:13No problem. Ah, yes. >
0:20:13 > 0:20:17Yes, I have a problem. There's no such thing as a three-man sled.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20You're one Jamaican short.
0:20:20 > 0:20:23Hey.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26The meeting start yet? Uh-oh.
0:20:26 > 0:20:29You! I'll kill you.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32DERICE: Wait! Hold on! College boy, I'll kill you!
0:20:32 > 0:20:34SANKA: Hey, think, man, think! Easy! Whoa! Down, boy!
0:20:34 > 0:20:37SHOUTING, CHAIRS CLATTER
0:20:37 > 0:20:40Kill him and we don't have a team.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I'm not ridin' in the same sled as that.
0:20:43 > 0:20:46He tripped me too, you know. But in case you haven't noticed,
0:20:46 > 0:20:48there's no-one else here.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51You're crowdin' me, slinky head.
0:20:51 > 0:20:53Slinky head. That's a good one.
0:20:53 > 0:20:55What are you laughing about? Nothing.
0:20:55 > 0:20:59If it wasn't for you, rich boy, I'd be in the Olympics right now.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02I don't know what you all are arguing about cos Derice was gonna
0:21:02 > 0:21:05- beat both of your butts anyway. - What are you talkin' about?
0:21:05 > 0:21:08- How 'bout I beat your butt right now? - How 'bout I draw a line
0:21:08 > 0:21:11down the middle of your head so it looks like a butt?
0:21:11 > 0:21:13HE CHUCKLES
0:21:17 > 0:21:19Forget it, man, I'm gone.
0:21:19 > 0:21:22DERICE: Fine. Stay here on the island.
0:21:22 > 0:21:25We're going to Canada.
0:21:28 > 0:21:32All right. I'll do it.
0:21:32 > 0:21:36But you better tell this mama's boy...
0:21:36 > 0:21:38to stay the hell away from me.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41You understand?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44No problem.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48Hey, Irv, say hello to the first...
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Jamaican bobsled team.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Oh, goody(!)
0:22:00 > 0:22:04Gentlemen, this...is a bobsled.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Sort of.
0:22:07 > 0:22:10All right, here's what we're gonna do. Yul... Don't touch me.
0:22:10 > 0:22:14Of course. Sorry. You're gonna be the second middleman.
0:22:14 > 0:22:18You're strong, you're fast and you're gonna love that seat.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Junior, you're the first middleman.
0:22:20 > 0:22:23You're quick, you're sharp. Hop in. Sanka.
0:22:23 > 0:22:26I know. I'm the driver, right? No, you're the brakeman.
0:22:26 > 0:22:31No, no, I'm the driver. No, you're not. You're the brakeman.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34I'm the driver. You're not. You're the brakeman.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36You don't understand. I am Sanka Coffie.
0:22:36 > 0:22:38I'm the best pushcart driver in all of Jamaica.
0:22:38 > 0:22:42I must drive. Do you dig where I'm coming from?
0:22:42 > 0:22:44Yeah, I dig where you're coming from. Good.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Now dig where I'm coming from. I'm coming from two gold medals.
0:22:47 > 0:22:50I'm coming from nine world records in both the two and four-man events.
0:22:50 > 0:22:54I'm coming from ten years of intense competition with the best athletes in the world.
0:22:54 > 0:22:56That's a hell of a place to be comin' from.
0:22:56 > 0:23:01You see, Sanka, the driver has to work harder than anyone.
0:23:01 > 0:23:04He's the first to show up and the last to leave.
0:23:04 > 0:23:06When his team-mates are all out drinkin' beer,
0:23:06 > 0:23:08he's up in his room studying pictures of turns.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13You see, a driver must remain focused 100% at all times.
0:23:13 > 0:23:17Not only is he responsible for knowing every inch of every course he races,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20he's also responsible for the lives of the other three people in his sled.
0:23:22 > 0:23:24Now, do you want that responsibility?
0:23:24 > 0:23:26I say we make Derice the driver.
0:23:26 > 0:23:30So do I, Sanka. So do I.
0:23:30 > 0:23:33HE SIGHS HEAVILY
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Oh. The back is nice.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40JUNIOR: All right, Father, listen here.
0:23:40 > 0:23:45Ya see, I've made up my mind. I am going to be a bobsledder.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48That's right. A bobsledder.
0:23:48 > 0:23:51DOG BARKS, WHINES Oh, really?
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Well, I'm sorry you feel that way.
0:23:54 > 0:24:00Fine. Cut off my allowance, because you see, Father,
0:24:00 > 0:24:04a man has got to do what a man has got to do.
0:24:05 > 0:24:07CAR HORN HONKS
0:24:14 > 0:24:18- Just who I want to see. - M-M-Me?
0:24:18 > 0:24:22You know where I just came from? W-Where?
0:24:22 > 0:24:27I got you a job. With Webster, Webster and Cohen,
0:24:27 > 0:24:29the biggest brokerage house in Miami.
0:24:29 > 0:24:32Oh, right. Webster, Webster AND Cohen.
0:24:32 > 0:24:36HE CHUCKLES: That's right. And you start end of the month.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41Yes, but I thought that I would... Look.
0:24:41 > 0:24:45We went along with this track nonsense long enough.
0:24:45 > 0:24:49And we agreed that it's time to get on with your real future.
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Right?
0:24:51 > 0:24:54I know... Right?
0:24:54 > 0:24:56Yes, sir. Good.
0:24:56 > 0:24:59HE CHUCKLES
0:24:59 > 0:25:02I'm gonna tell your mother.
0:25:12 > 0:25:17I guess we sure told him.
0:25:17 > 0:25:21Winning a bobsled race is about one thing - the push start.
0:25:21 > 0:25:25Now. I know you dainty little track stars think you're fast.
0:25:25 > 0:25:30Well, let's see how fast you are when you push a 600-pound sled.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Now, a respectable start time is 5.7 seconds.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38If you speed demons can't whip off an even six flat,
0:25:38 > 0:25:41then you have a better chance of becoming a barbershop quartet.
0:25:41 > 0:25:43THEY GROAN

0:26:07 > 0:26:10right here, right here in a Volkswagen, you're gonna practise.

0:27:41 > 0:27:45MAN 2: Who owns this thing? DERICE: We do, sir.
0:27:45 > 0:27:49- And who are you? - The Jamaican bobsled team, sir.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56Don't give me that business. I wasn't born yesterday.

0:28:08 > 0:28:11Yeah, man. IRVINE: How's the sled?
0:28:11 > 0:28:13Sled's OK? Well, it's in the wrong place.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Get it back to the top of the hill! Let's move it right now, you slackers!

0:28:20 > 0:28:24THUNDER RUMBLES IRVINE: I'm not asking for a winter sports programme.
0:28:24 > 0:28:29All I need is a lousy 20 grand so I can get us to the Olympics. That's all.
0:28:29 > 0:28:31COOLIDGE: How in god's name are you going to get to the Olympics?
0:28:31 > 0:28:34These boys have never even seen a sled race before.
0:28:34 > 0:28:38Mr Coolidge, I have been looking at sledders since I was 12 years old.
0:28:38 > 0:28:42If I say these kids can make it to the Olympics, they can make it to the Olympics.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45OK. Well, I'll tell you what we'll do.
0:28:45 > 0:28:47Practise down here with the boys a bit more,
0:28:47 > 0:28:50and when you're a little further along, I'll come along and see you...
0:28:50 > 0:28:54- No! No, no! - Now just a minute, Mr Blitzer!
0:28:54 > 0:28:57This country enjoys a fine athletic tradition.
0:28:57 > 0:28:59And if you think I'm gonna give you the little money we have,
0:28:59 > 0:29:03so that you can parade us around in front of the world like a freak show,
0:29:03 > 0:29:05you've got another think coming.
0:29:05 > 0:29:08It's bad enough how you embarrassed your own country.
0:29:08 > 0:29:10I'm certainly not gonna allow you to embarrass ours.
0:29:12 > 0:29:15No go, kid.
0:29:15 > 0:29:18That's OK, coach. We'll get the money.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20Do the words "give up" mean anything to you?

1:15:36 > 1:15:39AL TRAUTWIG ON TV: 'Eighty miles an hour or close to it.
1:15:39 > 1:15:42'You know, Al, I'm looking at the times here, and the course is gettin' extremely fast.
1:15:42 > 1:15:47'I was worried about the Austrian team's safety in that last big 180 degree whip around.
1:15:47 > 1:15:51'Well, if you were worried about them, what are you thinking about our last and next team?'
1:15:51 > 1:15:54Yes, it certainly seems strange that surrounded by the ice and snow of Calgary,
1:15:54 > 1:15:58we are about to watch a team from the tiny island of Jamaica.
1:15:58 > 1:16:01CHEERING Yeah, from Jamaica!
1:16:01 > 1:16:04Quite a story for them to even get here. They came out of nowhere.
1:16:04 > 1:16:06And you know, there's a lot of teams up here on top of the hill,
1:16:06 > 1:16:09that sort of feel that Jamaicans don't belong here.
1:16:09 > 1:16:11THEY ALL BOO
1:16:16 > 1:16:19Hey! Hey! What are you doin'? Hey, what are you doin', man?
1:16:19 > 1:16:21That's what the Swiss do to psych themselves up.
1:16:21 > 1:16:25They also make them little pocketknives too, but I don't see you doin' that.
1:16:25 > 1:16:28All right, guys, we're up. Come on. Hey, knock it off. Knock it off, will ya?
1:16:28 > 1:16:31OK, let's go. Come on. Get in your start positions.
1:16:31 > 1:16:35Remember, we don't have to win the gold in the first day. It's just like any other run.
1:16:35 > 1:16:38Except this time, 100 million people watchin'.
1:16:38 > 1:16:41IRVINE: Derice, did you forget something? Thank you.
1:16:41 > 1:16:43- Ready. - Ready.
1:16:43 > 1:16:45SANKA: Ready. JUNIOR: Ready.
1:16:45 > 1:16:48Eins...zwei...
1:16:48 > 1:16:50drei.
1:16:50 > 1:16:54Go! Go, go, go! Go! Go!
1:16:54 > 1:16:57CROWD CHEER, INDISTINCT PA - Get in! Get in!
1:16:57 > 1:17:01AL: The Jamaican team attempts its first ever winter Olympic event.
1:17:01 > 1:17:04And look at this. They've got to get into that sled.
1:17:04 > 1:17:08I've never seen anything like this. I know it's not funny, but how embarrassing.
1:17:08 > 1:17:11Thank goodness. For a minute, I didn't think they'd ever get all four of them in.
1:17:11 > 1:17:13And that could have been a disaster.
1:17:13 > 1:17:15CHEERING, SHOUTING
1:17:15 > 1:17:18JOHN MORGAN : Well, most importantly here, when you do get in the sled,
1:17:18 > 1:17:21you have to get in with catlike movements, you need to get relaxed.
1:17:21 > 1:17:25Look at the high line in Omega! He bounces off the wall, ricochets like a pinball.
1:17:25 > 1:17:28The driver here, Derice Bannock, looks like the sled's really drivin' him.
1:17:28 > 1:17:32That fool better watch his mouth. He better watch more than that.
1:17:32 > 1:17:36This is the time when this team may be thinking, "This may not have been such a great idea."
1:17:36 > 1:17:38Their heads are bouncing around. This is amazing.
1:17:38 > 1:17:40Like rag dolls as they come through the finish
1:17:40 > 1:17:43at a time of 58.04,
1:17:43 > 1:17:45which will be good enough for last place.
1:17:48 > 1:17:52QUIET CHATTERING
1:17:52 > 1:17:56You choked. It was yours for the taking and you choked.
1:17:56 > 1:18:00You were ready and you choked.
1:18:00 > 1:18:04Well, maybe we should go over the turns again?
1:18:04 > 1:18:08You know the turns. You know everything there is to know about this sport.
1:18:08 > 1:18:13I'll tell you something. You had all better figure out how to stay loose out there.
1:18:13 > 1:18:17That's something I can't help you with.
1:18:17 > 1:18:20I'll see you tomorrow on the hill.
1:18:20 > 1:18:24DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
1:18:34 > 1:18:37You know, when the Swiss want to get relaxed...
1:18:37 > 1:18:40Oh, will you shut up about the damn Swiss?
1:18:40 > 1:18:44I mean, it was all that "eins, zwei, drei" nonsense that got us all nervous in the first place.
1:18:44 > 1:18:47Hey, man, look here. I'm just tryin' to get us off on the right foot.
1:18:47 > 1:18:51Well, the right foot for us is not the Swiss foot. I mean, come on, Derice.
1:18:51 > 1:18:54We can't be copyin' nobody else's style. We have our own style.
1:18:54 > 1:18:57Kissin' an egg is no kind of style.
1:18:57 > 1:19:00This is the Olympics here. It's no stupid pushcart derby.
1:19:04 > 1:19:06Let me tell you somethin', Rasta.
1:19:06 > 1:19:10I didn't come up here to forget who I am and where I come from.
1:19:10 > 1:19:14And neither did I. I'm just tryin' to be the best I can be.
1:19:14 > 1:19:18So am I. And the best I can be is Jamaican.
1:19:23 > 1:19:25Look.
1:19:25 > 1:19:29Derice, I've known you since Julie Jeffries asked to see your ding-a-ling.
1:19:29 > 1:19:31And I'm tellin' you as a friend...
1:19:31 > 1:19:34if we look Jamaican, walk Jamaican,
1:19:34 > 1:19:37talk Jamaican and is Jamaican,
1:19:37 > 1:19:41then we sure as hell better bobsled Jamaican.
1:19:41 > 1:19:46CHATTERING, SHOUTING
1:19:47 > 1:19:50DERICE: Greetings from Jamaica.
1:19:50 > 1:19:52# 'Nuff people say you know they can't believe
1:19:52 > 1:19:54# Jamaica we have a bobsled team

1:20:06 > 1:20:08# Respect to the man Irv Blitzer. #
1:20:08 > 1:20:11All right, gentlemen, this is it. TOGETHER: Respect.
1:20:11 > 1:20:13All right. Whoo, let's go!
1:20:13 > 1:20:16AL: 'We now come to the second chance for the four intrepid men from Jamaica.
1:20:16 > 1:20:17'What do they have to do, John?'
1:20:17 > 1:20:20In reality, Al, I don't think the Jamaicans have any chance of winning a medal.
1:20:20 > 1:20:23Dear God, just let them be better than yesterday.
1:20:28 > 1:20:30Ready? Ready. Ready.
1:20:30 > 1:20:33Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme,

1:20:38 > 1:20:43PA: On the track.
1:20:43 > 1:20:46JOHN: That's a hair faster than the Swiss. That's a real big difference from yesterday.
1:20:46 > 1:20:50AL: This is an absolute shock in the making. Yesterday, they were falling down at the start.
1:20:50 > 1:20:52Yes! Now they slide into place.
1:20:52 > 1:20:57Yesterday, their heads were bobbing everywhere. Today, they're almost in unison.
1:21:08 > 1:21:10AL: Can this really be happening? What a difference!
1:21:10 > 1:21:12Flying through the Omega looking possessed here.
1:21:12 > 1:21:14It's not the same team we saw yesterday.
1:21:14 > 1:21:17- Where did these guys come from? - TOGETHER: Jamaica!
1:21:21 > 1:21:24CROWD CHEERS AND SHOUTS
1:21:24 > 1:21:27Wow! 56.53!
1:21:27 > 1:21:31Whoo! Yes! Yes! Did you hear that time?
1:21:31 > 1:21:33Yeah. Yes! Ha-ha!
1:21:34 > 1:21:37Whoo-hoo! Yes! Yes! Come on, team-mates.
1:21:37 > 1:21:41Jamaica! Yes! Yes!
1:21:41 > 1:21:43JOHN: That moves them up into eighth place.
1:21:43 > 1:21:45AL: Watch out, world, the Jamaicans are coming.
1:22:03 > 1:22:06Derice, you in here?
1:22:06 > 1:22:08Hey, coach.
1:22:08 > 1:22:11Oh, there you are. How are you feelin'?
1:22:11 > 1:22:13All right. Good, good.
1:22:13 > 1:22:16You all set to follow in your father's footsteps? I think so.
1:22:16 > 1:22:20- You think so? - All right, I know so.
1:22:20 > 1:22:24That's more like it. We're gonna go grab a bite to eat. You wanna join us?
1:22:24 > 1:22:27Nah. I didn't think so. I'll pick you somethin' up.
1:22:27 > 1:22:30- Hey, coach. - Yeah.
1:22:30 > 1:22:32I have to ask you a question. Sure.
1:22:32 > 1:22:36But you don't have to answer if you don't want to.
1:22:36 > 1:22:39I mean, I want you to, but...
1:22:39 > 1:22:41if you can't, I understand.
1:22:41 > 1:22:45- You want to know why I cheated, right? - Yes, I do.
1:22:49 > 1:22:51That's a fair question.
1:22:53 > 1:22:55It's quite simple, really.
1:22:57 > 1:23:00I had to win.
1:23:00 > 1:23:05You see, Derice, I'd made winning my whole life.
1:23:05 > 1:23:09And when you make winning your whole life, you have to keep on winning.
1:23:09 > 1:23:13No matter what. You understand that?
1:23:13 > 1:23:16No, I don't understand, coach.
1:23:16 > 1:23:19You had two gold medals. You had it all.
1:23:21 > 1:23:26Derice...a gold medal is a wonderful thing.
1:23:28 > 1:23:32But if you're not enough without it,
1:23:32 > 1:23:35you'll never be enough with it.
1:23:39 > 1:23:41Hey, coach...
1:23:43 > 1:23:45..how will I know if I'm enough?
1:23:47 > 1:23:50When you cross that finish line, you'll know.
1:23:52 > 1:23:56DOOR OPENS, CLOSES
1:23:56 > 1:24:01Welcome back to the bobsledding venue for this, the last day of competition. It's medal time,
1:24:01 > 1:24:04and, John, the top six teams are separated by only half a second.
1:24:04 > 1:24:08So it's very close... I didn't expect to see you here.
1:24:08 > 1:24:11Well, my dear, we've got a team in the Olympics, don't we?
1:24:11 > 1:24:14The Jamaicans still have a chance to win an Olympic medal.
1:24:14 > 1:24:17Everybody shut up. My boy's on TV.
1:24:17 > 1:24:20And you're not the only one to get excited about that.
1:24:20 > 1:24:23I think the fans here have an extreme case of Jamaican fever.
1:24:23 > 1:24:26Al, so do I. Oh, no, no, no, no. So do we.
1:24:26 > 1:24:29Do I have to tell you whose turn it is now?
1:24:29 > 1:24:32Jamaica to your start positions. TOGETHER: Respect!
1:24:36 > 1:24:39Hey, Dreadlocks, let me kiss your lucky egg.
1:24:39 > 1:24:41PA: Next team up is Jamaica.
1:24:41 > 1:24:43All right, fellas, that's us! Let's go!
1:24:43 > 1:24:45Here we go! Today's our day! This is it!
1:24:45 > 1:24:48Come on, guys, we can do it!
1:24:48 > 1:24:51Derice... see you at the finish line.
1:24:51 > 1:24:54All right, it's all yours! Let's go!
1:24:54 > 1:24:58AL: We might actually see the Jamaicans win an Olympic medal.
1:24:58 > 1:25:01So this is it. We could see history in the making.
1:25:01 > 1:25:04Feel the rhythm, feel the rhyme,
1:25:04 > 1:25:06get on up, it's bobsled time.
1:25:06 > 1:25:10Cool Runnings! PA: On the track.
1:25:10 > 1:25:13CHEERING: Go! Go!
1:25:13 > 1:25:16Go! Move! Go! Move that bobsled! Go!
1:25:16 > 1:25:19AL: One, two, three, four, all of them in, and look at them fly.
1:25:19 > 1:25:22JOHN: Oh, man, they shaved another couple hundredths off the start.
1:25:22 > 1:25:24Al, they get better every time down the track.
1:25:24 > 1:25:28Go, Derice! Move! Take that bobsled! Move!
1:25:28 > 1:25:32JOHN: Look at the way the sled's coming in and out of the corners. Very smooth.
1:25:32 > 1:25:36It's like he's been driving the sled for ten years. Bannock looks really possessed here.
1:25:36 > 1:25:39AL: Well, what the heck. Go, Jams!
1:25:50 > 1:25:53AL: What a run Bannock is having.
1:25:53 > 1:25:57He's letting loose on this extremely fast course.
1:25:57 > 1:26:01And even with that rickety old sled, the Jamaicans are flying through the turns.
1:26:04 > 1:26:06This does not look good. Something's gotta be wrong.
1:26:06 > 1:26:10The Jamaicans on a record pace as they fly almost out of control around the turn.
1:26:10 > 1:26:13Move! Move that sled! Now the speed seems too much,
1:26:13 > 1:26:15and I don't think he's going to be able to hold it. Oh!
1:27:07 > 1:27:10Derice, you dead?
1:27:10 > 1:27:14No, man, I'm not dead.
1:27:19 > 1:27:22We have to finish the race.
1:27:38 > 1:27:41Excuse me, please.
1:27:44 > 1:27:46Excuse me.
1:28:48 > 1:28:52CROWD CHEERS
1:29:40 > 1:29:45Sehr gut, Jamaica. We'll see you in four years, ja?
1:29:45 > 1:29:46Yeah, man.
1:29:49 > 1:29:52Junior Bevil.
1:29:52 > 1:29:56But it doesn't mean that I like you. We split.
1:30:08 > 1:30:12- Thanks, Irv. - Thank you.
1:30:12 > 1:30:15- All right.
1:30:15 > 1:30:19Coach, coach. Hey, guys. I'm so proud of you guys. You all right?
1:30:19 > 1:30:21Gentlemen, can I get a picture, please?
1:31:09 > 1:31:11# I can see clearly now
