From hurricane-scarred shores to snow-swept Olympic tracks, Jamaica’s bobsled team is proving that resilience (not conditions) define how far a nation can fly.

Norway are the most consistent Winter Olympic medal winners because they emphasise early participation over winning and losing, while Jamaica’s original ‘Cool Runnings’ bobsledder Chris Stokes wants the current generation to write their own history.

Henri Rivers IV is the first of the Rivers triplets to represent Jamaica in Alpine skiing in the Olympics — so far.

It’s "Cool Runnings" revisited, as Jamaica's bobsledders return to a second consecutive Olympics. They have their eye on the podium.

Jamaica's famous Olympic bobsled team is back in 2026.

The 2026 Olympic Winter Games take place February 6-22 in Milan, and you can watch them all on Peacock. Anywhere. Any time. Every event in the Games — yes, every one! — is streaming live and on-demand on Peacock. And with features like Multiview and Rinkside Live , you're not just watching the competition: You're experiencing it.

THE bobsleigh team has received majority of the attention in Jamaica’s build-up to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy, however young Henri Rivers IV will make history for the island in Alpine skiing — and he’s being viewed as the standard-bearer in the event.

Under normal circumstances, Shane Pitter probably would have been on the water.

The first Winter Olympics for West Babylon’s Henri Rivers IV is in the books. Rivers, 18, represented Jamaica in the men’s slalom in Bormio, Italy, on Monday morning. He was one of 49 racers in the 96-man field who did not finish the course, which presented brutal conditions with fog and heavy snow.

There have now been 25 iterations of the Winter Olympics after competition began in France in 1924. Countless moments have been ingrained in Olympic history. But which stand out above the rest?
