The Jamaican bobsled team has been the story of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics – not exactly for what they’ve done on the track, but for nostalgic purpose thanks to the popular 1990’s film Cool Runnings which was loosely based on the 1988 Jamaican bobsled team.

Outside of the movie, it’s just awesome to see a group from Jamaica putting forth such an effort in a Winter sport that’s not exactly the most popular attraction on the island.

As you likely know, the Jamaican team didn’t have the funds to make the trip to Russia but through crowd-funding (and eventually a donation from the Jamaican Olympic Committee) the team made their way to Sochi – despite losing their luggage in the process.

Thankfully it was found and we’re all able to witness their historic participation – and their awesome watermelon helmets.

We’ve seen a lot of impressive helmet artwork during these games, especially when it comes to the skeleton riders. But these might be among the best we’ve come across.
