The Jamaica Bobsled and Skeleton Federation has successfully secured three Olympic quota positions for the 2026 winter Olympic Games in Milano Cortina.

Among the qualifiers is the four man sled team of Andrae Dacres, Junior Harris , Tyquendo Tracey and Joel Fearon  and  the two man team of Nimroy Turgott, Joel Fearon and Junior Harris.

The Jamaican two women team is currently ranked as the first alternate, pending the withdrawal of any country.

This achievement reflects the season-long IBSF ranking performance and as one of the most consistent tropical nations in winter sport.

Jamaica’s three Olympic quota spots has equaled the country’s participation from the 2022 Beijing Games.
