Bolt said no to bobsleigh

Could we see Usain Bolt competing in a Winter Olympics? It's very unlikely.

Former Jamaican bobsleigh star Devon Harris says he has asked the double world record holder whether he wants to slide for Jamaica at the games.

He says Bolt had an unusual reaction to the invitation.

Devon was a member of the bobsleigh team that became famous, after competing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics, which inspired the film Cool Runnings.

He is now the secretary general of Jamaican Bobsleigh and is searching for the country's next sliders.
