The partnership, which was penned at the residence of the Japanese Ambassador to Jamaica, Masanori Nakano, will provide another boost to the country’s preparations for the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympic Games.

Team leader for the Shitamachi Bobsleigh Project, Junichi Hosogai, described the sleds as the “best and fastest we have ever made”.

It comes after a Japanese factory group also donated a bobsleigh to Jamaica’s national team in May.

“They are accustomed to barely making it because of the lack of resources and funding and they have still astonished the world,” Jamaica’s Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport Olivia Grange said.

“So, can you imagine when they get their own brand-new equipment?

“With Japanese craftsmanship and technology, and the Jamaica Bobsleigh brand, it will be ‘cool runnings’ every time the Jamaica Shitamachi sled touches ice - we are going to be burning on the ice.”

The JBF are holding team trials for the team at GC foster College in Spanish Town tomorrow, where participants will be given the chance to prove they are good enough to represent Jamaica at Pyeongchang 2018.

The organisation has called for “fast and explosive runners” and the trials are open to both men and women aged between 18 and 23.

If the team is successful in qualifying for Pyeongchang 2018, it will mark the 30-year anniversary of their Olympic bobsleigh debut which was the inspiration for the 1993 Hollywood film "Cool Runnings".

After making their debut at Calgary 1988, Jamaica participated in the next four Winter Olympics.

Despite missing Turin 2006 and Vancouver 2010, they announced their return to the Games less than a month before Sochi 2014.

This came amid a plea for support in travelling to Sochi due to their lack of funding.

“I am quite confident that they will achieve it with the combination of the renowned physical ability of Jamaican bobsleighers and the Shitamachi Bobsleigh project team’s passion for making the best bobsleighs using their world-class technology,” Nakano added.
