The only Jamaican bobsled team in PyeongChang will be its women’s bobsled team.
Jamaica missed qualifying a two-man bobsled team for the Olympics by one spot in rankings finalized last week.
Jamaica still had a chance to sneak into the 30-sled Olympic field if one of the qualified nations declined a spot, but that didn’t happen.
The International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation made it official Monday, publishing the Olympic fields for each event.
At least one Jamaican men’s sled competed in every Olympics from 1988 through 2002, then again in 2014.
Sochi driver Winston Watts retired, but a new team was formed in this Olympic cycle that included former Green Bay Packers and Cincinnati Bengals running back Michael Blair.
New driver Seldwyn Morgan competed on the lower-level North American Cup the last three seasons with a top finish of seventh.
