A much more famous movie about a nation trying a new sport is Disney's Cool Runnings. As you most likely know, Cool Runnings is (very loosely) based on the story of the first bobsled team from Jamaica as the islanders attempted to qualify for the Olympics. The Jamaicans faced racism and mockery from many in the bobsledding world. In the movie, the face of this scorn is Josef Grool, who is supposedly one of the best drivers in the world, though we never actually see him bobsled in the film! (We do see him smoke and drink, though.) After the climactic bobsled crash, Grool has a change of heart and leads a standing ovation for the Jamaicans. He welcomes them to the bobsledding community by shaking Jamaican driver Derrice Bannock's hand and saying, "Sehr gut, Jamaica. We'll see you _________, ja?"
