Jamaican 2-man bobsled team qualify for Sochi

For the first time since 2002, the Jamaican 2-man bobsled team has qualified for the Sochi Olympics next month.

Winston Watts, who participated in the 1994, 1998 and 2002 games, came out of retirement in hopes of returning to the Olympics. It appears now that he and former sprinter Marvin Dixon will have that chance. But funding may still be an issue.

From the The Telegraph.

"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 said

"It all depends. Our families need to be taken care of first. If there's no funding, who knows?"

Here was the team making their debut in the games in 1988.
