On Wednesday, the much heralded Jamaican female bobsled team's participation at the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics turned sour with the abrupt departure of their German coach. On Twitter, the Jamaican Bobsled team announced that their coach, former Olympian Sandra Kiriasis, had "elected" to leave the team. The statement read, "Sandra Kiriasis has elected not to continue her position with Jamaica Bobsleigh. We are deeply disappointed in her decision to leave the program.
