|Olympic bobsledding |

|[pic] In Cuba people don’t play winter sports because there’s no snow and ice. But in Jamaica, another country without snow, one group |

|of dreamers did something wonderful – they formed a bobsled1 team and went to the Olympics. |

|[pic] Why a bobsled team? In Jamaica there are carts2 everywhere. People push them to the markets to sell their food. One day, George |

|Fitch, an American businessman, watched a Jamaican cart race3. He saw that the best cart drivers could run very fast and push the cart |

|at the same time. That’s exactly what a bobsled team has to do. At this moment, he decided to form a Jamaican bobsled team. |

|[pic] But it wasn’t easy to find team members. Fitch asked Summer Olympic athletes, but they were nervous that bobsleds were too |

|dangerous. They didn’t want anything to happen to them before the Summer Olympics. So, Fitch had auditions for the team. In the end, he |

|found four men that immediately loved the sport. Three of them were runners. They trained hard to become a team and dreamed to get into |

|the Olympics. |

|[pic] In 1988, they went to the Olympics. Everyone on the other teams and the crowd loved and cheered for them. It didn’t matter that |

|they didn’t win. A very funny movie, called ‘Cool Runnings,’ was made in 1992 about the team at the Olympics. |

|[pic] George Fitch and these four men, from a very hot country, dreamed to take part in the Winter Olympics. Their dream came true, and |

|they proved that anything is possible. |
