Jamaica- Celebrating Our Olympians – 1948 & 2010

Jamaica’s first participation in the Olympics was in 1948 when Arthur Wint and Herb McKenley brought us our first medals. Since then we have sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Game and in 1988 we broke into the Winter Games with our famous Bobsledge Team. Now representing Jamaica in the Winter Olympics of 2010 we have skiers not born in Jamaica, however celebrating their Jamaican roots and carrying Jamaica’s flag with pride. Let’s celebrate them.
