The Jamaican bobsled team may be headed to another Olympics. Air Max Wholesale Free Shipping . The catch: It needs a lot of money, and it needs it fast. Olympic organizers said Saturday that Jamaica has qualified for the two-man competition at next months Sochi Games, though it remains unclear if the fledgling squad will get a chance to race. Funding is a serious problem and sled driver Winston Watts told The Associated Press on Saturday that hes trying to raise as much as $80,000 in the next couple weeks to cover travel and equipment costs. "Right now," Watts said, "were at zero." They are certainly among the worlds most storied bobsled teams, and that has little to do with results. Jamaica first competed in Olympic bobsledding in 1988 at the Calgary Games, a story that inspired the "Cool Runnings" film. For a nation lacking bobsled tradition, or snowy winters, Jamaica has often fared quite well on the international circuits. Its been 12 years since Jamaica has had a sled in the Olympics, with Watts finishing 28th at the Salt Lake City Games with Calgarys Lascelles Brown -- now a key part of Canadas national team. Brown won a medal at the 2010 Vancouver Games, one where the Jamaicans were hoping to compete but were again thwarted by funding issues. Still, the 46-year-old Watts -- who called himself "retired" from sliding for nearly a decade -- has held on to hope of sliding again on the sports biggest stage. "Were pretty good," Watts said. "Were not there with the rest of the world, of course. But we if had some more sources for funding, wed have a better chance." He started the season thinking he could get a four-man sled ready for Sochi, before quickly realizing that was too expensive. His focus then shifted to the two-man sled and by racing in a number of lower-tier events at tracks in Park City, Lake Placid and Calgary in recent months, Watts and brakeman Marvin Dixon piled up enough points to get into the Olympic mix. Sochi officials tweeted word Saturday that the Jamaicans were in, but the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation -- the sports governing body -- is not expected to confirm before Sunday at the earliest how many nations qualified for the Olympic fields. Watts said hes confident that Jamaica is qualified. "Im not a person who likes to quit," Watts said. "I put my heart into it and I know for a fact that people are going to help this team."

Some will say that Martin is too sensitive while others will say that it is part of the way football is in the locker room. But to have to absorb what was said to him for any rational and intelligent person is too much.DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- A short-handed Canadian squad finished fourth at the Womens Sevens World Series in Dubai rugby tournament with 15-10 loss to Russia on Friday. The Canadians -- missing captain Ghislaine Landry as wekk as Jen Kish and Mandy Marchak to injuries -- defeated Spain 17-12 in overtime to open the day before falling 19-5 to New Zealand in the semifinals. The loss set up a third-place match against the Russians. Bianca Farella and Karen Paquin scored versus Russia and the Canadians looked poised for a victory before Baizat Khamidova dove over the try line in the dying minutes to give Russia the win. "Russia are the fastest team in the series and can score from any line break they get, from anywhere," said Canadian coach John Tait. "We had the majority of the possession but didnt turn that into points often enough." Australia beat New Zealand 35-27 in the final to take the first event of the seeries.

"Spain is always a tough game, we lost our captain through concussion from the day before so Ashley Steacy stepped up and really led from the front on day two," Tait said. "We battled hard and it was a huge team effort and invaluable experience especially for our younger girls to play in a sudden death extra-time game." Steacy scored Canadas lone try against New Zealands Black Ferns. "I was proud that our girls didnt back down to them. . .," Tait said. "We will beat them it is only a matter of time, the belief is there, now we must bring the execution to make it a reality." The Canadians earned 14 Womens Sevens World Series points in Dubai, which Tait said still leaves them in the race for the overall title in May.
