Winter Olympics: The Jamaican team going for gold
A mix of UK- and US-based athletes are representing Jamaica at the Games, and will compete in the four-man bobsleigh and monobob events.
Shanwayne Stephens, a Regiment Gunner with Britain's Royal Air Force, is the pilot of the bobsleigh team, and Jazmine Fenlator-Victorian, who'll be competing in the new monobob event that's been created just for women, explain the vibes that are keeping them positive, even if temperatures plummet to minus 30 degrees Celsius. They discuss with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Alex Capstick, who starts by asking them if Cool Runnings, the story of the Jamaican team's journey to the Calgary Winter Olympics in 1988, inspired the team.
