Japan bobsled makers miss out on Olympic games glory
On Feb. 17, the BBC reported that the Jamaican women's bobsled team would compete in its “preferred sled” at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea “after a beer producer purchased the craft and donated it” to the team. The main concern had been the departure of the team’s German coach, who was reportedly "legally responsible" for the Latvian-made vehicle. The Jamaican Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation was afraid the coach would take the sled with her after, according to her claims, she was "forced out." Apparently, she demanded payment for the sled's use, and Jamaican brewer Red Stripe came up with the money. Everybody was happy.
