Three Jamaican bobsleigh teams qualify for Winter Olympics

Jamaica will have an historic three teams competing in bobsleigh at next month's Winter Olympics in China including a 4-man team for the first time in 24 years.

Jamaica grabbed the final spot in the 28-sled field in qualification for the Beijing Games, based on international results this season.

The nation also earned the last spot for the 2-man competition and a place in the new Olympic event of women's monobob.

However, the Christian Stokes-led Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation missed out on a place in the two-woman event on a tiebreaker, but can get in as first alternate if one qualified nation gives up a spot.
