Fool runnings? Jamaicans say bobsleigh movie off-track

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea - Jamaica's men's bobsleigh team famously turned heads at the 1988 Calgary Olympics, their ballsy attempt at the white-knuckle sliding sport later immortalized by the movie Cool Runnings.

Thirty years on, a women's team from the Caribbean island paradise is preparing to compete at the Pyeongchang Games - and it's not entirely happy about Hollywood's version of events.

"It's really awesome that Cool Runnings let people know about bobsleigh and that we do sports outside of track and field and football," said driver Jazmine Fenlator-Victorian, after training in the bitter Korean cold.
