Watch Milano Cortina 2026, LIVE: https://go.olympics.com/watch Four years ago, Shane Pitter didn't know what bobsleigh was. An athletics teammate told him, 'It's a thing where you get in a tiny little box and you push it down the ice." At Milano Cortina 2026, Pitter pilots not one but two Jamaican bobsleighs, while compatriot Mica Moore competes in the women's monobob. It marks a continuation of a fairy tale program for the Caribbean nation, with echoes of the 1990s cult classic movie, "Cool Runnings." "That movie inspires me," said Pitter, who is a spearfisherman back at home in Jamaica when he's not training on the icy track in Lake Placid, New York. "And it inspires me to do better at these Games." While Moore races in the monobob, Pitter will drive both the two- and four-man sleds. Jamaica's best-ever finish at an Olympics is 14th. Can they go better? "We want to make history," Pitter said. Listen to their respective stories, as told to Olympics.com team members Andy Elliott and Sinead Nelson. Plus, host Nick McCarvel checks in on some of the other feel-good stories from the first few days of the Games, gives an update on Lindsey Vonn, and explains just why tennis great Novak Djokovic couldn't believe what he saw on a visit to figure skating.Relive the best moments from the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympic Games, featuring elite athletes, thrilling competition, and unforgettable highlights across the worldโ€™s top winter sports on the Olympic stage. #Olympics #MilanoCortina2026 #Olympics2026 _____________________________________________________ ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น #MilanoCortina2026 LIVE: https://go.olympics.com/watch ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท #Paris2024 replays: https://oly.ch/P24Replays ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ณ #Beijing2022 replays: https://oly.ch/B22Replays ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ต #Tokyo2020 replays: https://oly.ch/T20Replays ๐Ÿ—ž๏ธ News from the Olympic world: https://oly.ch/News
