The Jamaican Bobsleigh Team

In 1987, George Fitch and William Maloney, two businessmen from Jamaica, had a
rather surprising idea. They had a local ‘pushcart’ race in Kingston, and they noticed that it
looked a bit like a bobsleigh. So why not have an Olympic bobsleigh team?
There were some obvious problems. There was no ice, Jamaica was thousands of miles
from the nearest snow, and there was very little money and nowhere to buy equipment. Lastly,
although the country had plenty of cricket players, runners and other athletes, there were no
bobsleighers.
These difficulties did not put Fitch and Maloney off, and they started to try and create a
team. They found three men from Jamaican Army and later got three others to join. The team
moved to Austria to learn how to bobsleigh. At first they found practising cold, difficult and very
painful. They crashed again and again, and the equipment kept breaking down. But things started
to get better, and they hired an Austrian coach to train them. He chose Dudley Stokes as the
driver, because he had experience as an army helicopter pilot!
In 2000, the Jamaican team won a gold medal at the World Push Championships in
Monte Carlo, beating other teams from snowy countries all over the world!
