Chinese capital, but things did not exactly go as planned.The two-man team were positioned at the start line and were all set to begin.But the athlete who was pushing the bobsleigh from the back, inexplicably slipped when they began to move the bobsleigh forward.His teammate was forced to slow down his start as a result, but the more he tried to regain his footing, the more he struggled and even fell on his back.He tried to recover by clinging onto the bobsleigh while he tried to find his feet.A teammate, who was recording the blunder in the background, watched on in shock as the pair struggled to find the synchronisation needed for their bobsleigh run.They almost came to a standstill before he was able to recover and they could begin heading around the course.Hopefully the team will be firing on all cylinders by the time they are ready for the attempt that will count.The error resembles striking parallels with the popular Cool Runnings film, which is loosely based on the true story of the 1988 Winter Olympics Jamaica national bobsleigh team, who were competing at the event for the very first time.In the movie, during their final race, one of the bobsled’s blades detaches, causing it to turn upside down and crash.The resilient team were keen to cross the finish line despite the accident and decided to pick up their bobsled and carry it across the line, which received a rapturous applause from the crowd and other competitors.Fans reacted to the gaffe on Twitter and some definitely saw the funny side.“Imagine training for 4 years and your partner does that,”' one penned, along with a laughing emoji.Another added: “Cool runnings, the samba version.”While another chimed in: “4 years of training wasted because he wore
