Jamaica qualified a women's bobsled of two athletes. This will mark the first time the country has entered women into the bobsleigh competition. In the days leading up to the event the team's participation was in doubt after their German coach Sandra Kiriasis quit after refusing to change her role from driving coach to performance analyst. Kiriasis claimed ownership of the team's sled and insisted on payment from the Jamaica Bobsleigh Federation which was refused.
