CALGARY — The Jamaican bobsled team suffered some hard luck in Calgary on the weekend, but some local businesses and a crowdfunding page have come to their aid.
A group of 12 athletes is travelling through Canada and the U.S. to try and get a spot in the 2018 Winter Games in South Korea.
But while competing at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary on Saturday, the group’s van broke down before the they could get to their next stop in Whistler, B.C.
The team was also running low on food and money.
