We have the one Derice
and the oneJunior
- Thank you.
- Yul Brenner and the man Sanka
The fastest of the fastest
ofJamaican sprinters
Respect to the man
Irv Blitzer
- All right, gentlemen, this is it.
- Respect.
- Respect! Whoo!
- All right.
- Let's go!
We now come to the second chance for
the four intrepid men from Jamaica.
- What do they have to do, John?
- In reality, Al, I don't think
theJamaicans...
- Have any chance of winning a medal.
- Dear God!
Just let them be better
than yesterday.
- Ready.
- Ready.
Feel the rhythm!
Feel the rhyme!
Get on up!
It's bobsled time!
Cool runnings!
Bob in track.
That's a hair faster than the Swiss.
Boy, that's a real big difference
from yesterday.
Well, this is an absolute shock
in the making. Yesterday...
- They were falling down
almost from the start.
- Yes!
Now they slide into place. Yesterday,
their heads were bobbing everywhere.
Today, they're
almost in unison.
- Can this really be happening?
- Boy, what a difference.!
Flying through the Omega,
looking possessed here. It's not
the same team we saw yesterday.
- Where did these guys come from?
- Jamaica!
Wow! 56.53!
Whoo-hoo! Yes! Yes!
- Did you hear that time? Yes!
- Yeah.
- That moves them up into 8th place.
- Watch out, world.
TheJamaicans are coming.
Derice, you in here?
Hey, Coach.
Oh, there ya are.
How you feelin'?
- All right.
- Good, good.
You all set to follow
in your father's footsteps?
- I think so.
- You think so?
- All right, I know so.
- That's more like it.
We're gonna go grab a bite to eat.
You wanna join us?
- Nah.
- I didn't think so. I'll
pick you somethin' up.
- Hey, Coach.
- Yeah.
- I have to ask you a question.
- Sure.
But you don't have to answer
if you don't want to.
I mean, I want you to, but
if you can't, I understand.
You wanna know why
I cheated, right?
Yes, I do.
That's a fair question.
It's quite simple, really.
I had to win.
You see, Derice...
I'd made winning
my whole life...
and when you make winning
your whole life...
ya have to keep on winning,
no matter what.
You understand that?
No, I don't understand, Coach.
You had two gold medals.
You had it all.
Derice...
a gold medal
is a wonderful thing.
But if you're not enough
without it...
you'll never be enough
with it.
Hey, Coach...
how will I know
if I'm enough?
When you cross that
finish line, you'll know.
Welcome back to the bobsledding
venue for this, the last day of
competition. It's medal time...
and, John, the top six teams
are separated by only half a second.
- So it's very close, and
that's been predictable...
- I didn't expect...
- To see you here.
- Well, my dear...
we've got a team
in the Olympics, don't we?
Most astonishing is the
Jamaicans. They still have a
chance to win an Olympic medal.
Everybody, shut up.
My boy's on TV.
And you're not the only one
I think the fans here have an
extreme case ofJamaican fever.
- Al, so do I.
- Oh, no, no, no, no.
So do we. Do I have to tell you
whose turn it is now?
- Jamaica, to your start positions.
- Respect!
Hey, dreadlocks, let me
kiss your lucky egg.
- Next team up is Jamaica.
- All right, fellas, that's us!
Let's go! Here we go!
Today's our day! This is it!
Come on, guys.
We can do it!
Derice! I'll see ya
at the finish line.
- With the kinds of push starts
these guys are capable of...
- All right, it's all yours. Go!
Jamaicans win an Olympic medal.
So this is it. We could
see history in the making.
Feel the rhythm!
Feel the rhyme!
Get on up!
It's bobsled time!
- Cool runnings!
- On the track.
Go! Go! Go!
Move that bobsled! Go!
One, two, three, four, all of
them in, and look at them fly.
Oh, man, they shaved another
couple hundredths off the start.
Al, they get better
every time down the track.
Go, Derice! Move!
Take that bobsled and move!
Look at the way the sled's comin'in
and out of the corners. Very smooth.
It's like he's been drivin'
the sled for ten years. Bannock
Oh, what the heck.
Go, Jams.!
What a run Bannock is having.
extremely fast course.
And even with that
rickety old sled...
theJamaicans are
flying through the turns.
This does not look good.
Something's gotta be wrong.
TheJamaicans on a record pace
as they fly almost out of
control around the turn.
- Move it! Move it! Move that sled!
- Now the speed seems too much...
and I don't think he's going
to be able to hold it. Oh.!
Derice, you dead?
No, man, I'm not dead.
We have to finish the race.
Excuse me, please.
Excuse me.
Sehr gut, Jamaica.
We'll see you
in four years, ja?
Yeah, man.
Junior Bevil.
But it doesn't mean
that I like you.
We split.
- Thanks, Irv.
- Thank you.
- All right. Hey, guys.
- Hey, Coach.
- Coach.
- I'm so proud of you guys.
You all right?
- I love you, man.
- Can I get a picture, please?
I can see clearly now
The rain is gone
I can see all obstacles
In my way
Gone are the dark clouds
That had me blind
It's gonna be a bright
- Bright, bright
It's gonna be a bright
- Bright, bright
Oh, yes, I can make it now
The pain is gone
All of the bad feelings
Have disappeared
Here is that rainbow
I've been prayin'for
It's gonna be a bright
- Bright, bright
Look all around
There's nothing
but blue skies
Look straight ahead
There's nothing
but blue skies
Oy, you know
people can't believe
Jamaica have a bobsled team
We have no snow
Just food and water
And the temperature ranges
from hot to hotter
No spring, no fall
much less no winter
And yet we have
a bobsled team
Holding on
to an Olympic dream
We say them ready I'm always say
them ready Them ready like Freddy
You see them funny sled
You see the world steady
When they make the motion
Them a rock and a dolly
A country on a sled
with a wish in them body
Yes, my four men
are my bobsled posse
Yul Brenner, Derice, Junior
Sanka, the men are ready
When them reach the Olympics
we're proud and irie, irie, irie
Lord, you know
people can't believe
Jamaica have a bobsled team
Boy, you know
people can't believe
Jamaica have a bobsled team
Lord, you know
people can't believe
Jamaica have a bobsled team
Boy, you know
people can't believe
Jamaica have a bobsled team
Oooh
