Synopsis
Jamaica in 1987. Delyse Bannock was the top candidate to compete in the men's 100m track and field at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. However, during the selection event, he was involved in a fall from an athlete running in the lane next to him, and his dream of participating in the Summer Olympics was cut short. Unable to give up on his dream of participating in the Olympics, Delise learns about the bobsled competition at the Winter Olympics and comes up with the idea of ``participating in the Olympics in bobsled.'' Then, they invite a former American player to be their coach and begin practicing.
