While the shirtless Tongan flag waver might have gotten the most attention during the 2018 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony, social media agreed in unison that the country with the best entrance was none other than Jamaica.
The country was only sending three athletes to the games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, but that didn’t stop them from coming out to a joyful synchronized dance. The Caribbean nation is competing in just two events, women’s bobsled and skeleton. The appearance of the bobsled team reminded a few fans of the ’90s cult classic Cool Runnings.

“The best entrance at the [opening ceremony] of the [Winter Olympics],” Twitter user Esther Benjamin tweeted with a gif of the dancing trio.
“GIVE JAMAICA ALL OF THE MEDALS,” user James Billson shouted in all caps.

Hopefully the Jamaicans can follow-up their stellar entrance with a trip to the podium as the Olympics roll on this weekend.
