The sled is in Sochi. The athletes are in Sochi. But the rest of the equipment鈥攖he blades, the uniforms, etc.鈥攖hat the two-man Jamaican bobsled team needs to train with? It got lost on its way to Russia,聽.

“It’s really frustrating,” says driver Winston Watts, who has competed at three Games. “We have just got all the funding together and have arrived at the Olympics鈥攂ut then this happens.”

The mix-up was due to changes in a connecting flight change when the weather took a turn for the worse. The team hopes to take part in training by Thursday.聽
