Jamaica’s bobsled team is off to a rocky start in PyeongChang after its coach quit just days before its runs at the Olympics.

German Sandra Kiriasis, a 2006 Olympic champion, quit on the team after she was asked to change her role. Kiriasis also owns the sled the Jamaicans plan to compete in, according to the BBC.

“I have never known such disappointment in this sport, in my life,” Kiriasis reportedly said.

“The athletes have told me they don’t understand why this has happened as they have no problem with me and we have a good relationship.”

Her change in role, according to the BBC, would have meant no access to the athletes competing. Kiriasis’ role had been driving coach. It’s unclear why they asked her to make the switch.

In a statement, Jamaica Bobsled confirmed Kiriasis would not carry on at her position.

“We are deeply disappointed in her decision to leave the program. We thank her for her invaluable contribution to JBSF and contributing to the success of Jamaica’s first female bobsled Olympic appearance,” the statement said.

Jazmine Fenlator-Victorian and Carrie Russell are set to become Jamaica’s first winter sports women competitors, 30 years after the men’s bobsleigh team appeared at the 1998 Games that inspired the movie “Cool Runnings.”
