Getting back to the Winter Olympics has not been easy for the Jamaican bobsled team.
First, it's been 12 long years since the island nation's even had an Olympic bobsled team. They qualified this year, but were still strapped for cash until raising more than sufficient funds in just two days in order to participate in the Games.
The latest wrinkle came Wednesday morning, after bad weather caused the team to miss their connecting flight.
The bobsledders ended up arriving in Sochi, but their equipment didn't.
Without their runners and sliding gear, Winston Watts and Marvin Dixon were unable to make their first practice runs.
But rest easy, Cool Runnings fans. It appears the lost baggage has been found.
The Jamaica Bobsled Team has received all their equipment in russia and the boblsed team is Good to Go ! #CoolRunnings
