Red Stripe has saved Jamaica’s women’s bobsled team — but from whom? The act seemed unfathomably petty, and prompted the Kingston-based brewer to tweet at Jamaica’s bobsled federation, offering to buy a new sled. She wrote that she spent last year working extensive contacts in the bobsled world to find sponsors for Jamaica’s duo, and rented the sled herself. “I have supported the team far beyond the call of duty at all times,” she wrote. Some of the network’s broadcasters, in the city to preview the Games 100 days ahead of the opening ceremony, said “Pyeongchayng” while others pronounced it “Pyeongchung.”
