The Jamaican bobsleigh team say they have no regrets about returning to the Winter Olympics after a 12 year break, despite finishing second to last in the competition. Jamaica finished 29th out of 30 after Serbia failed to start their third run, but both Winston Watts and brakeman Marvin Dixon said that being able to compete in the Games had still been a worthwhile experience. "We're happy that we brought so much light, so much joy, so much love to the Sochi Olympics. It doesn't matter if we came 29th or we won an Olympic medal, we're still a winner," Watts said. "It doesn't matter where you finish, as long as we compete. We compete and we have fun. That's it," Dixon added. The pair had to raise $80,000 even to be able to take their place in Sochi after scraping through the qualification process. Report by Sophie Foster.
