Jamaicans on ice

The most famous people in Jamaica should be Bolt and Bob Marley, but how much do most people know about this country that was once colonized by Britain? Astrafa & Cannabis? Or is it an endless stream of sprint elites?

Today during the winter solstice, I watched a sports movie "Light Ride on Ice", which was adapted from real events. It was about Jamaica, a tropical island country, where a group of great guys went to participate in a four-person sled race in the Winter Olympics.

The core of the movie is actually about ideals. Who can stop a group of energetic young people from challenging themselves? Four people who have never seen snow, got a tattered pulley and practiced skiing on a mountain trail? Is this ridiculous? Yes, under the training of a drunkard Yankee, they practiced repeatedly on the sandy ground like fools until they went to the Canadian Winter Olympics.

Like in another sports movie, "The World's Fastest Indian Motorcycle", Anthony Hopkins said that being a man is not ideal. What is the difference with a plant? The Jamaicans went. Although they didn't get the ranking, they saw another world and gained the respect of everyone. What a wonderful thing!

After eating dumplings, drinking tea, and seeing such an interesting movie on the night of the winter solstice, it’s time to sleep well... I think all people want to surpass themselves at a certain moment and become their own Heroes, like these Jamaicans walking on the ice...

    The first was Beaver II's encouragement to want to escape, followed by the coach's eligibility, the third was II's telling his father that I'm not a lost little boy We're going to find the best way for our Jamaicans to snowball with the coach Chasing the sled out of embarrassment to break the prejudice, strength is the best fight back. After twists and turns, from climate incompatibility to ice incompatibility to prejudice to sled failure, they worked together to lift the focus, the Olympic spirit, the respect for winning the game. They meet, see you in four years!
