Jamaica’s bobsleigh team have qualified for the Beijing Winter Olympics next month – making it the first time in 24 years the country’s four-man team will participate.

Their four-man team took the final spot in the 28-sled field in qualification, which is the first time since 1998 that the event will have Jamaican representation in the category.
