Cool Runnings, the sequel? Jamaican bobsleigh team poised to qualify for Winter Olympics for the first time since 2002 The Jamaican bobsleigh team look set to return to the Winter Olympics for the first time since 2002, rekindling fond memories of the Calgary 1988 Games that inspired the hit film Cool Runnings. Barring a disastrous final qualifying race in St Moritz, Switzerland, this weekend, the two-man bobsleigh team look set to book their place at the Sochi Games next month. It would complete a remarkable journey for 46 year-old Winston Watts who competed in bobsleigh in 1994, 1998 and 2002 and has come out of retirement for Sochi. Cool Runnings: Winston Watts competes in the two-man bobsled during the Salt Lake City Games of 2002 On the verge: Watts says he and team-mate Marvin Dixon have practically qualified for February's Winter Games Happy memories: Watts (sitting down) was part of the Jamaican bobsleigh team of the 2002 Winter Games Nuff people say they know they can't believe, Jamaica we have a bobsled team We have the one Derice, And the one Junior, Yule Brenner, And the man Sanka The fastest of the fastest of Jamaican sprinters, Go to Olympics, fight for Jamaica! The fastest of the fastest of Jamaican sprinters, Respect to the man Irv Blister Denied funding from the Jamaican Olympic Association, the huge training costs forced Watts, who is based in Wyoming, America, to whittle his four-man team down to a two-man team. At one stage, he had even been paying for team-mates to fly over from Jamaica for training. And unless the duo, who call themselves 'The Hottest Thing on Ice', get some financial support from the Jamaican governing body or elsewhere there's a chance they won't be able to take part in Sochi, even though Watts believes they've made the qualifying time. 'In truth, we still don't really know at the moment if we'd even have enough funds or sponsorship to fly to Sochi itself for the Games itself,' Watts told the Daily Telegraph. Inspirational: The cast from the 1993 Cool Runnings film that was based on the Jamaican bobsled team of 1988 Hit movie: Watts says he still watches Cool Runnings regularly today and finds it inspirational 'Hopefully the Jamaican Olympic Association will step in and support us now we've qualified' But Watts doesn't want for optimism and refuses to believe being 46 will affects their chances of success: 'Man, you should see me! Age is just a number. You'd never believe I was a man of 46. You'd say maybe 30, 25. I'm big, dark and handsome, like a 6ft 235lb running back.' The similarities with the 1993 Cool Runnings film are obvious and Watts admits to still watching the movie regularly today. High speed: Watts and Brown compete in the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City 'It's a movie you cannot get tired of watching' Watts told TODAY.com. 'It's very touching. It's just so emotional. Even up until today I watch that movie like it's new. It's just inspirational'. Are we set to hear the film the fabulous pre-race chant again? 'Feel the rhythm, Feel the ride, Get on up, It's bobsled time.'
