Let's go! Let's go!
- Hold on a minute. - All right, come on.
Here we go.
Ah. This is good.
Okay, this is it.
- Everybody climb in. - Hold up. I don't understand.
- We're not going to push start? - No, we're going to push start next time.
For your first run, I'm just going to nudge you off, okay? Everybody in.
Let's go, let's go. Come on. Come on.
- Don't touch me! - Hey, Baldy, get off my foot!
- Don't touch me! - Here you go. Come on.
Hey, Blitzer, why don't you put some training wheels on that sled?
That's funny. Very funny.
You want to kiss my egg?
I'm not kissing no egg.
- Suit yourself. - Now, listen up, fellas.
- I don't want you to worry about looking good out there. - Ah, Blitzie.
You going to tuck them in too?
Hey-- Seeming to you like nobody likes us?
We're different. People are always afraid of what's different.
Hey, Jamaica.
Watch out for number 12 turn. It's scary, huh?
- What's his problem? - He's Josef Grool.
He's one of the best drivers in the world.
Yeah, he's one of the biggest assholes in the world too.
Well, don't listen to him. You listen to me.
Derice, right here. You got it?
Remember, keep your hands soft and your mind clear.
- High in, low out. What is it? - High in, low out.
All right, put your helmets on, everybody! Let's go!
Here we go! Come on! Helmets on!
- Hey, Coach. - Yeah?
I can't get my helmet on! Oh, thanks, Coach.
- That's what I'm here for. - Oh. Coach?
- Yeah. - I got to go, you know.
- Hold it. - Hold it? - Hold it. - Hold it?
- Yeah, hold it! - B-But, Coach, I can't hold it! We're not bobsledding yet.
- Oh, yes, we are. - Coach! Coach!
Coach!
Coach! Coach!
Bob in track.
Coach!
Slow down! Oh! Slow it down! Slow down! Slow it down!
Oh, my god! Oh! Oh, Derice! Oh, Derice!
I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!
Whoa!
Sanka, you dead?
Yeah, man.
Well, you can pee now.
Ohh. Too late.
This is embarrassing.
Man, shut down that hot plate, fool.
Those bananas are stinking like a dead dog.
Back off! Back off, you eight-ball! This is my mama's secret recipe.
And I hope you don't mind keeping quiet while I catch up on my reading.
What are you talking about, reading? This is a children's book.
- Oh, is that so? - Yes, that's so.
Well, if it's a children's book, that means it's too advanced for the likes of you.
What are you trying to say, that I'm not smarter than a little child?
No, what I am saying to you...
is that you are the kind of club-totin', raw meat-eatin', me-Tarzan-you-Jane-in'...
big, bald bubblehead that can only count to ten if he's barefoot or wearing sandals.
Say whatever it is that you want...
'cause you're just like every other fool on the island.
You're going nowhere, Sanka, and you're thrilled to death about it.
But you see me? You see me?
I'm different, 'cause I know exactly...
where I'm going...
and after l, Yul Brenner, win the Olympics and become famous...
I'm going to leave the island...
and live right down there.
What are you laughing about?
- What are you laughing about? - That's Buckingham Palace.
You plan on living there, you're going to have to marry the Queen.
Yul, that's where the Queen of England lives.
Face it, Yul Brenner-- You can start calling yourself Madonna...
but you're still going to end up in an outhouse shanty like every other dock-working nobody.
- Mm, says who? - Says me, rich boy. What do you know about it?
Well, I know my father started off in a one-room hut.
- Now he lives in one of the biggest homes in Kingston. - Well, he ain't your father.
He doesn't have to be.
All he has to do is know what he wants and work hard for it.
And if he wants it bad enough, he'll get it.
Look, believe me, Sanka...
the more Yul Brenners we got making it in this world...
the better off this world will be, especially for Jamaicans.
Go ahead, Yul Brenner.
Go get your palace.
Move! Move!
Bob in track.
What do you have in there, a baby?
-I can't believe you're still cold, man. -Cold?
I'm freezing my royal Rastafarian nay-nays off!
All right, we're up! Let's go, guys, this is it!
Give me that!
Okay, now, this is our first real push start. But don't worry about it, okay?
I-lt's no different than what we've practised. We've done it a hundred times.
Derice. Right here.
- Okay, get your helmets on. - Coach!
- Okay, okay. - Thanks, Coach.
All right, let's go, Derice. It's yours.
- Ridiculous. What's he doing? - Ready?
One...
two...
three!
- Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go! - Hold on! Wait! Hold on!
Now! Now! Now!
Now!
- Those guys are pretty good, aren't they? - Good? They're the best.
So you guys been having a little trouble out there, huh?
- Ah, we'll be fine. - I sure hope so.
That'd be a real shame to waste all that talent.
I'm not worried. And we have a good coach.
Kid, I hate to say it, but, uh, you got to wake up.
Coach Blitzer is what's killing you; he's been useless since the day he was busted.
- What you mean, "busted"? - The '72 Games.
The guy hid weights in the front of the sled to make it go faster.
So what? It's no big deal.
Having your gold medals taken away for cheating is a big deal.
Derice! Let's go. We got a meeting.
Giving my kid a few pointers, Larry?
"Your kid" is going to need all the help he can get...
Coach.
Maid service, sir. Would you like your bed turned down?
Mint? Perhaps I could dust your head.
Whatever's wrong with you is no little thing.
Hurry up, man. I have a dead grandmother that moves faster than you.
Wait, wait.
What that fool want now?
What?
Sorry.
- What do you have there, man? - A telegram.
I know it's a telegram. What does it say?
It's from my father.
He says I have to come home right now.
Workin'
Workin' for my payday
Every time payday comes
You know I'm down to my last
Well, I'm dreamin'
Dreamin' of you all day
When the work day's done we're gonna love that night away
'Cause we're goin' nowhere and we're gettin' there fast
When we finally make it we can both look back
On these hard times
- Just for a laugh - Hi!
- Howdy, partner. - 'Cause when you got love you don't need too much money
I'm in love with you and don't you know, honey
We're goin' nowhere
- And we're gettin' there fast - You've worked too hard and too long!
And let me tell you something else, Junior Bevil.
If it wasn't for you, we wouldn't be here right now.
Oh, wait. But you don't understand.
He is really mad.
I mean, you don't know him like I do, you know.
I think I'd better just do what he wants...
and go back home.
And forget about your teammates.
Blood fire!
The man, you act like he's the king of the whole world.
But what should I do? What should I do?
Hey, Jamaica, keep it down! You are not owning this place.
Sorry, sir, sorry. I didn't-- I didn't mean to bother anyone.
You have no business here, Jamaica.
You and your stupid friend playing like you are bobsledders, ja.
Why don't you tourists go back to where it is you came from...
and leave the bobsledding to the real men.
Well, I'm, uh-- I'm a real man.
You want to say something, Jamaica? Come on, out with it.
You know that money can't buy
This feeling
That we're sharing tonight
'Cause we're goin' nowhere and we're gettin' there fast
Come on, man. Come on! Right now!
Now, look in the mirror and tell me what you see.
- I see Junior. - You see Junior.
Well, you want to know what I see? I see pride. I see power!
I see a badass mother who don't take no crap off nobody!
- You really see all that? - Yeah, man.
But it's not about what I see. It's about what you see.
Now, look in this mirror and tell me again what you see.
I see--
- Pride! - Pride! Right.
- Power! - Power.
- And I see-- - A badass mother--
- Who don't take no crap-- - Off of nobody!
- Again! - I see pride!
- Can't hear you! - I see power!
I see a badass mother who won't take no crap off of nobody!
- Once again! - I see pride!
- Junior! - I see power!
I see a badass mother who won't take no crap off of nobody!
- That's right! - That's right! Junior Bevil!
Where ya-- W-- Where he going?
Pride. Power. Pride.
Now, you listen to me, buddy.
I will not be talked to that way, so you'd better come up with a damn good apology...
- or else. - Or else what?
Ow.
Eh, Jamaica?
Or else what?
Come on, Jamaica.
Say something.
No problem, man.
Excuse me, missy!
That hurt! Get off!
I can't believe this.
I just can't believe this.
Didn't one of you have the sense to know better? Go on. Laugh.
I wanna see who's laughin' when lrv gets here.
Now wait, wait.
When that East German fellow go out and push my teammate...
then blood fire, we have to fight back.
You don't see the Swiss team fightin', do you?
You don't see the Swiss team drinkin' and carryin' on and such.
And you don't see the Swiss team smilin' neither.
In fact, if one of those Swiss boys ever come across a pretty girl...
he probably yell, "Eins, zwei, drei..."
and try to push her down some ice.
- What happened? - Oh, I took care of the whole thing.
I told the owner of the bar these guys were...
mentally disturbed, so he's not gonna press any charges.
All right, sled god does it again.
Just shut up, Sanka.
Now maybe you haven't noticed...
but we aren't exactly winning any popularity contests here.
They hate me, they hate you, they hate us.
Now, if we're even gonna think about qualifying...
we're each gonna have to sit down and take a nice, deep look inside.
I didn't come all this way to get my butt whipped.
As a matter of fact, now that I'm here, I thought I'd do a little whippin' of my own.
Good night, gentlemen.
Rise and shine!
It's butt-whipping time.
Rise above it
Not bad. Pick it up though.
Come on, come on, come on, come on. Now, now, now!
Just rise above it Come on and rise above it
- Good. That's it. - Even though the road seems very long and narrow
- Five more. Come on. Five more. Push it, push it. Come on. - Baby need to sharpen his pin
- Just like an arrow - That's it, that's it.
- Got-a no place to go - That's it. Good, good.
- Good. You're doin' fine. You got anymore? - Believe us, baby
Come on! Come on! Get in!
Oh! Wait! Hey! Help!
You gotta learn to believe in yourself, yeah
Listen, little man, there ain't nothin' you can't achieve if you work hard and sacrifice
- Hear me now - If you've got a problem
- You've got to rise above it Yes, you do - Go, go, go, go, go! That's it.
- And when you face a challenge - You gotta grip with your toes. Go! Go!
- You got to rise above it It's so large - Now! Now!
If those storm clouds reappear, oh, yes
You don't ever have to fear Just rise above it
- You have got to - Rise above it
I tell ya once and I tell ya twice
You know, you're gonna have to do this on your own one day.
Just one man and a thousand eyes
Come now, come now and take my advice
Rise above it
- Rise above it - Go, go, go, go, go!
Now, now, now, now, now!
- Straight. Right. - Turn six. Turn seven.
- Straight. Right. - Turn eight.
- Follow me, follow me follow me, follow me - Rise above it
- That's it! That's it! That's it! - Rise above it
- You can do it
Okay, guys.
Tonight's the night.
Now in a few minutes, you're gonna get a chance to do something...
that no one in your country has ever done.
I was gonna save this for the Olympics, but I figure...
if we're going to convince these judges...
that we are world-class sledders...
then we had better look like world-class sledders.
- Whoa, man. - Yes.
Nice.
I freeze in this.
Bob in track.
Hello, gentlemen.
Irv, this is Karl Shindler. He'll be watching the middle track.
- How do you do? - And this is August Gremmer.
He'll be judging the push starts.
- Hi. - I'm your third official up in the tower.
You. What happened to Kroychzech?
He came down sick this morning. I'm taking his place.
Oh, goody.
Oh, the Alliance has decided to change the qualifying time...
from a minute-two to a minute-flat.
Is that clear?
No problem, man.
Go get 'em, kid.
Track is clear for Jamaica One.
Eins, zwei, drei.
Go, go, go! Now, now, now, now!
- All right, what was that time? - 6.13.
Under 60? ls it under 60?
59-point-si--!
I'm, uh-- I'm sorry. I'm outta here. That's terrific.
Derice!
- Ah, no, it's great. - They couldn't beat us.
- I know we were the best. - Yeah.
- ...inspired you guys, that's all. - You were great, all of ya.
Nobody had that much fun in a sled since Santy Claus.
Fellas, here's to followin' your dreams.
- Yeah, man. - Followin' your dreams.
I said it to your father the first time I met him, and I'll say it again.
Sprinters make the best bobsledders.
Here's to sprinting.
So what are we gonna name the sled?
How about "Tallulah"?
- That's hot. Tallulah. - Tallulah. Tallulah.
Sounds like a two-dollar hooker. How you come up with that?
Hey, you idiot, that's my mother's name.
- It's a pretty name. - Tallulah. I like that.
So what's it gonna be, star?
What are the people gonna be screamin' when Jamaica takes the hill?
I say we call it "Cool Runnings."
- Beautiful. - I like it.
- It's very strong. - Nice. Very nice.
Uh, what exactly does it mean?
"Cool runnings" means "Peace be the journey."
- Peace be the journey. - Peace be the journey.
- Cool runnings. - Cool runnings.
- E-Excuse me.
To the man in the orange suit!
To the orange! To the man in the orange!
- To the messenger. - To the messenger. - To the messenger.
We are officially disqualified.
Excuse me, gentlemen. Kurt, I really have to talk to you.
Excuse me, lrv. I've nothing to say to you.
Yes, you do.
- I want to know why you disqualified my guys. - As you were told...
your team must compete in an international race in order to qualify for the Olympics.
But in an Olympic year...
the qualifiers count as an international race.
That may have been true in past Olympic years...
but this year, the Alliance decided to change its policy.
Oh, please! Change its policy?
The Alliance has the right to do whatever they feel is in the best interest of the sport.
We must also be concerned about the potential for embarrassment.
Oh, forgive me. I didn't realize...
that four black guys in a bobsled could make you blush.
I think we've heard enough.
Come on, Kurt. What you're doin' is wrong and you know it.
Now, if this is about you and me...
then let's get it straight right now.
All right, 16 years ago, I made the biggest mistake of my life.
I cheated. I was stupid.
I embarrassed myself, my family...
my teammates, my country and my coach.
If it's revenge you want, take it.
Go ahead. Disqualify me. Banish me.
Do whatever you want, but do it to me.
It was me who let you down, Kurt. It wasn't my guys.
They've done everything you've asked of them, and they did it...
with all of you laughing in their face.
Hell, it doesn't matter if they come in first or 50th.
Those guys have earned the right to represent their country.
They've earned the right...
to march into that stadium and wave their nation's flag.
That's the single greatest honour...
an athlete could ever have.
That's what the Olympics are about.
Sixteen years ago, I forgot that.
Don't you go and do the same.
Sorry if I interrupted your meeting.
Hello. Yes?
Yeah.
Right. Goodbye.
- What? - That was the Alliance.
- God. - What did they say?
Oh, they said we're back in.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
And a lot is expected of the ltalian team.
Did I miss it? Did I miss it?
No, child. You didn't miss a thing.
...of Jamaica made it all the way here to Calgary...
to compete in the bobsled event.
Their flag bearer is the sled captain Derice Bannock.
Derice's father, Ben Bannock, was a gold medalist in the 200 metres...
at the Summer Olympic games over 20 years ago.
And perhaps there's gold in two generations of this family.
That's quite a story. The Jamaican bobsled team.
It's a beautiful afternoon in Calgary, and there is a lot more coming up.
So stay tuned for more exciting coverage...
of the opening ceremonies of the 15th Winter Olympiad...
from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
Gentlemen, let's go check into our new home.
Come on, Junior.
Junior! Hey!
Junior.
Now a lot of coaches would be giving you one of those, uh...
"Win one for the Gipper" speeches.
I'm not good at that stuff. Instead, I thought I'd, uh...
Iead you in a psalm of inspiration.
Let's bow our heads.
Who's the "Gipper"?
Our Father who art in Calgary, bobsled be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, gold medals won...
on Earth as it is in turn seven.
With liberty and justice for Jamaica and Haile Selassie.
- Amen. - All right!
- Yes! - Respect.
- All right. - Jah Rastafari.
Junior.
Now you listen to me, boy.
You might not have done what you were asked...
but you will do what you're told.
- You're coming home. - Yeah, but, Father, you know I just want--
But nothing.
I didn't send you to the finest school...
for you to go around sliding on your backside.
- You must be mad. - Yeah, but the team needs me.
I don't want to hear any more of it.
Go and get your things.
I'll wait in the lobby.
Pride. Power.
Father, when you look at me, what do you see?
I don't have time for games, Junior.
Tell me what ya see!
Please.
All right, I'll tell you what I see.
I see a lost little boy...
who's lucky to have a father who knows what's best for him.
No, no, no, no. You don't know what's best for me, Father.
I am not a lost little boy, Father.
I am a man.
And I'm an Olympian.
I'm stayin' right here.
Hey, Junior Bevil.
You're a badass mother.
- Here, l-l got a couple. - I like this one. Yes.
O Canada, indeed. This is AI Trautwig along with John Morgan.
We're live at Olympic Park, the brand-new bobsledding venue...
just a few miles outside of downtown Calgary.
Everybody, shut up. It's starting.
...extremely intense, exciting competition for the next three days.
I am feeling very Olympic today. How about you?
Uh, this sport, as we well know, us made up of athletes...
who go to the edge and sometimes beyond, and it is why we believe...
the next three days is going to be extremely competitive and exciting.
And already, John, on day one, we're starting things off with a gold medal favourite.
Well, the Swiss were fortunate enough to draw number one in the competition.
We gotta make them the odds-on favourite to win the gold.
But the East Germans, they're comin' off the gold medal win in 1984.
The Canadians, it's their home track. You gotta favour them too.
And they've been doin' very well in practise all week.
Eins, zwei, drei.
One! Two! Three! Go!
- Eighty miles an hour or close to it. - You know, Al,
I'm lookin' at the times here, and the course is gettin' extremely fast.
And I was worried about that Austrian team's safety in that last big...
180-degree whiparound that draws four G's of force on the athletes.
Well, if you were worried about them, what are you thinking about our last and next team?
Yes, it certainly seems strange that surrounded by the ice and snow of Calgary,
we are about to watch a team from the tiny island of Jamaica.
- From Jamaica! - Quite a story for them to even get here.
They came out of nowhere. And you know, there's a lot of teams up here on top of the hill...
that sort of feel the Jamaicans don't belong here.
- Hey! Hey! - Hey, what are you doin', man?
- What are you doing? - That's what the Swiss do to psych themselves up.
They also make them little pocketknives, too, but I don't see you doin' that.
All right, guys, we're up. Come on. Hey, knock it off. Knock it off, will ya?
Okay. Let's go. Come on.
Take your start positions. Remember, we don't have to win the gold in the first day.
- It's just like any other run. - Except this time...
100 million people watching.
Derice, did you forget something? Thank you.
- Ready. - Ready.
Eins, zwei, drei.
Go! Go, go, go, go! Go!
- Get in! Get in! - As the Jamaican team attempts its first ever...
winter Olympic event, and look at this.
They've gotta get into that sled. I've never seen anything like this.
I know it's not funny, but how embarrassing.
Now, thank goodness. For a minute, I didn't think they'd ever get all four of them in.
And that could've been a disaster.
C-Come on!
Well, most importantly here, when you do get in the sled...
you have to get in with catlike movements, get in, get relaxed.
Ooh, look at that high line at Omega! He bounces off the wall, ricochets like a pinball.
You know, the driver here, Derice Bannock, looks like the sled's really drivin' him.
- That fool better watch his mouth. - He better watch more than that.
This is the time when this team may be thinking, "This may not have been such a great idea."
Their heads are bouncing around. This is amazing.
Like rag dolls as they come through the finish...
at a time of 58.04...
which will be good enough for last place.
You choked. It was yours for the taking, and you choked.
You were ready, and ya choked.
Well, maybe we should go over the turns again?
You know the turns.
You know everything there is to know about this sport.
I'll tell you somethin'. You had all better figure out...
how to stay loose out there.
That's somethin' I can't help you with.
I'll see you tomorrow on the hill.
You know, when the Swiss want to get relaxed--
Will you shut up about the damn Swiss?
I mean, it was all that "eins, zwei, drei" nonsense that got us all nervous in the first place.
Hey, man, look here. I'm just tryin' to get us off on the right foot.
Well, the right foot for us is not the Swiss foot.
I mean, come on, Derice. We can't be copyin' nobody else's style. We have our own style.
Kissin' an egg is no kind of style.
It's the Olympics here. It's no stupid pushcart derby.
Let me tell ya somethin', Rasta.
I didn't come up here to forget who I am and where I come from.
And neither did l. I'm just tryin' to be the best I can be.
So am l. And the best I can be is Jamaican.
Look. Derice, I've known you since Julie Jeffries asked to see your ding-a-ling.
And I'm telling you as a friend...
if we look Jamaican, walk Jamaican...
talk Jamaican and is Jamaican...
then we sure as hell better bobsled Jamaican.
Greetings from Jamaica
'Nuff people will say you know they can't believe
Jamaica we have a bobsled team
'Nuff people say you know they can't believe
Jamaica we have a bobsled team
We have the one Derice and the one Junior
- Thank you. - Yul Brenner and the man Sanka
The fastest of the fastest of Jamaican sprinters
Respect to the man lrv Blitzer
- All right, gentlemen, this is it. - Respect.
- Respect! Whoo! - All right. - Let's go!
We now come to the second chance for the four intrepid men from Jamaica.
- What do they have to do, John? - In reality, Al, I don't think the Jamaicans...
- have any chance of winning a medal. - Dear God!
Just let them be better than yesterday.
- Ready. - Ready.
Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme!
Get on up! It's bobsled time!
Cool runnings!
Bob in track.
That's a hair faster than the Swiss. Boy, that's a real big difference from yesterday.
Well, this is an absolute shock in the making. Yesterday...
- they were falling down almost at the start. - Yes!
Now they slide into place. Yesterday, their heads were bobbing everywhere.
Today, they're almost in unison.
- Can this really be happening? - Boy, what a difference!
Flying through the Omega, looking possessed here. It's not the same team we saw yesterday.
- Where did these guys come from? - Jamaica!
Wow! 56.53!
Whoo-hoo! Yes! Yes!
- Did you hear that time? Yes! - Yeah.
- That moves them up into 8th place. - Watch out, world.
The Jamaicans are coming.
Derice, you in here?
Hey, Coach.
Oh, there ya are. How you feelin'?
- All right. - Good, good.
You all set to follow in your father's footsteps?
- I think so. - You think so?
- All right, I know so. - That's more like it.
We're gonna go grab a bite to eat. You wanna join us?
- Nah. - I didn't think so. I'll pick you somethin' up.
- Hey, Coach. - Yeah.
- I have to ask you a question. - Sure.
But you don't have to answer if you don't want to.
I mean, I want you to, but if you can't, I understand.
You wanna know why I cheated, right?
Yes, I do.
That's a fair question.
It's quite simple, really.
I had to win.
You see, Derice...
I'd made winning my whole life...
and when you make winning your whole life...
ya have to keep on winning, no matter what.
You understand that?
No, I don't understand, Coach.
You had two gold medals. You had it all.
Derice...
a gold medal is a wonderful thing.
But if you're not enough without it...
you'll never be enough with it.
Hey, Coach...
how will I know if I'm enough?
When you cross that finish line, you'll know.
Welcome back to the bobsledding venue for this, the last day of competition. It's medal time...
and, John, the top six teams are separated by only half a second.
- So it's very close, and that's been predictable-- - I didn't expect...
- to see you here. - Well, my dear...
we've got a team in the Olympics, don't we?
Most astonishing is the Jamaicans. They still have a chance to win an Olympic medal.
Everybody, shut up. My boy's on TV.
And you're not the only one to get excited about that.
I think the fans here have an extreme case of Jamaican fever.
- Al, so do l. - Oh, no, no, no, no.
So do we. Do I have to tell you whose turn it is now?
- Jamaica, to your start positions. - Respect!
Hey, dreadlocks, let me kiss your lucky egg.
- Next team up is Jamaica. - All right, fellas, that's us!
Let's go! Here we go! Today's our day! This is it!
Come on, guys. We can do it!
Derice! I'll see ya at the finish line.
- With the kinds of push starts these guys are capable of... - All right, it's all yours. Go!
we might actually see the Jamaicans win an Olympic medal.
So this is it. We could see history in the making.
Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme!
Get on up! It's bobsled time!
- Cool runnings! - On the track.
Go! Go! Go! Move that bobsled! Go!
One, two, three, four, all of them in, and look at them fly.
Oh, man, they shaved another couple hundredths off the start.
Al, they get better every time down the track.
Go, Derice! Move! Take that bobsled and move!
Look at the way the sled's comin' in and out of the corners. Very smooth.
It's like he's been drivin' the sled for ten years. Bannock looks really possessed here.
Oh, what the heck. Go, Jams!
What a run Bannock is having. He's letting loose on this extremely fast course.
And even with that rickety old sled...
the Jamaicans are flying through the turns.
This does not look good. Something's gotta be wrong.
The Jamaicans on a record pace as they fly almost out of control around the turn.
- Move it! Move it! Move that sled! - Now the speed seems too much...
and I don't think he's going to be able to hold it. Oh!
Derice, you dead?
No, man, I'm not dead.
We have to finish the race.
Excuse me, please.
Excuse me.
Sehr gut, Jamaica.
We'll see you in four years, ja?
Yeah, man.
Junior Bevil.
But it doesn't mean that I like you.
We split.
- Thanks, lrv. - Thank you.
- All right. Hey, guys. - Hey, Coach.
- Coach. - I'm so proud of you guys. You all right?
- I love you, man. - Can I get a picture, please?
I can see clearly now
The rain is gone
I can see all obstacles
In my way
Gone are the dark clouds
That had me blind
It's gonna be a bright
- Bright, bright - Bright sunshiney day
It's gonna be a bright
- Bright, bright - Bright sunshiney day
Oh, yes, I can make it now
The pain is gone
All of the bad feelings
Have disappeared
Here is that rainbow
I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright
- Bright, bright - Bright sunshiney day
Look all around
There's nothing but blue skies
Look straight ahead
There's nothing but blue skies
Oy, you know people can't believe
Jamaica have a bobsled team
We have no snow Just food and water
And the temperature ranges from hot to hotter
No spring, no fall much less no winter
And yet we have a bobsled team
Holding on to an Olympic dream
We say them ready I'm always say them ready Them ready like Freddy
You see them funny sled You see the world steady
When they make the motion Them a rock and a dolly
A country on a sled with a wish in them body
Yes, my four men are my bobsled posse
Yul Brenner, Derice, Junior Sanka, the men are ready
When them reach the Olympics we're proud and irie, irie, irie
Lord, you know people can't believe
Jamaica have a bobsled team
Boy, you know people can't believe
Jamaica have a bobsled team
Lord, you know people can't believe
Jamaica have a bobsled team
Boy, you know people can't believe
Jamaica have a bobsled team
Oooh
