In 1988, at the Calgary Winter Olympics in Canada
There has always been a special sled team
This is their country
Joining the big family of the Winter Olympics for the first time
3 sprinters
1 reggae singer
1 American coach
3 months of training time
I have never seen snow but decided to stage a speeding on ice in front of the world
This sled team comes from a tropical island country-Jamaica
Their story was put on the screen by Disney in 1993
Released in many countries and regions, with rave reviews
Earned $70 million in the box office in the U.S. alone
Film name: "Ride on Ice"
Jamaica, located in the northwestern Caribbean Sea
Located at 17.42 degrees 18.31 degrees north latitude
Tropical rainforest climate
The annual average temperature is 27℃
Speaking of Jamaica, the first thing that comes to mind is Dash and Bolt
The young people here are the same
Dreaming of participating in the Olympic sprint
However, due to an accident, they failed the qualification test
But the Olympics are still going
So they took a different path
Decided to form a sled team
The first problem they faced
What is a sled?
In order to figure out how to play the sled
They decided to hire a coach for themselves
But the coach thinks they are crazy
I'll come back tomorrow if you don't teach me today
If you don't teach tomorrow, come back the day after tomorrow
Finally made the coach "crazy"
The coach is there, next
Where's the sled? Where's the ice?
The sled is built by yourself and has wheels
The runway has no ice, it's just a soil slope
They not only fell happily on their own
Even chased the police car
While training speed
To adapt myself to the cold weather in Canada
They thought of a way
Exercise your cold tolerance
Put yourself in the refrigerator, how many steps together?
Everything is ready, only money
Facing the sponsorship application of Jamaica's first sled team-20 thousand US dollars
Investors smiled slightly
At this time they gave full play to the versatile talents of Jamaicans
Sing and sing together, bet money with people, and kiss people for a fee
After tossing for a long time, there is still a total of 19,000
When everyone is at a loss
Who knew there was a rich second generation in the sled team
Finally got his wish and came to the Winter Olympics
In trial ski training
Pushing the ugly sleigh was ridiculed as soon as it appeared.
"People don't seem to like us"
"Because we are different, they are scared"
In the first official appearance
They got on the news page
In an unexpected way
Just when they overcome all difficulties
When qualifying for the final in 59.64 seconds
The Olympic Committee decided to disqualify Jamaica
The reason is that they have not participated in international competitions before
The real reason is that the committee is worried that they will make the Winter Olympics a joke
So the coach found the committee
It doesn't matter if they get first or fifty
But they have the right to represent their country
They have the right to line up and wave the flag into the stadium
This is the greatest glory of every athlete
Is also the spirit of the Olympics
Winston Waters, the prototype character of the movie story, said in an interview
I still watch it often now, and every time I watch this movie now it feels the same as the first time I watch it.
I know we are not doing well enough, but I don’t think we will stop. We will tell the whole world that we still love this sport. And here we just want to show the world: Look, Jamaicans are still alive!
The joy of sports is never just about getting a gold medal
When the coach turns on the lights in the film
Show the players their national game uniforms
At that moment I thought of the slam dunk
Dialogue between Sakuragi Flower Road and Coach Anzai
When is your most glorious moment?
Is it all Japan era?
And I am now!
