Jamaica has sent athletes to all the Olympic Games since 1948. In 1960, athletes from Jamaica, Barbados and Trinidad combined to form the West Indies Federation team. That team won two medals, one of which was won by George Kerr, a Jamaican, in the 800 metres, while the other was a bronze in the 4×400 metre relay. Three members of that team were Jamaican while one was from Barbados. In 1988, Jamaica competed at its first Olympic Winter Games, represented by the now famous Jamaican Bobsled Team. A movie, Cool Runnings, was later made about the Jamaican bobsled team. Jamaica has since competed at all Olympic Winter Games, save 2006, but in bobsledding only. Jamaica has won 67 Olympic medals through 2012, 66 of them in track & field athletics, led by its outstanding sprinters. The other medal was a bronze in cycling won by David Weller in the 1980 1,000 metre time trial. In 2008, Jamaican sprinters absolutely dominated track & field athletics, led by Usain Bolt, who won the 100 metres, 200 metres, and anchored the winning 4×100 metre relay, all in world record times. In 2012 Bolt was able to win again all three sprint gold medal to become the most successful Jamaican Olympian ever.
