Jamaikanisches Bobteam sucht Coach peer Crowdfunding

Using crowdfunding to achieve Olympic success? The at least seems to be the plan of the Jamaican Bob team for 2018. In the net, the team is currently asking for money, with which they can hire a professional coach. Is there a "cool runnings" -revival?

On the crowdfunding site Gofundme.com, the Jamaican Bob team started a financial aid call: "The Olympic winter games are in a year and we are in the middle of the training." They are working hard, but a not insignificant job is still unoccupied: the team is missing a coach.

Per crowdfunding for the gold medal?

In order to be able to hire a coach, however, the Jamaican team lacks the money. That is why they ask for 60,000 USD, which is about 56,000 euros. "The 2018 Olympic Winter Games are also marking the 30th anniversary of the Bob team in Calgary for the first time. We will not only be able to fight for a medal with a real coach, we are also convinced that we will return home Can be. "

Leaderless Bob team

Jazmine Fenlator, a former Olympic participant, has now taken an indirect leader position. "Most of the time, we manage each other and each takes part of responsibility as best we can," said the sportswoman in the telephone conversation with Mashable. It would be better for the entire Bob team, however, if there was a person who would combine everything in himself.

"Cool Runnings 2.0"?

Sounds like there is plenty of potential for another cool runnings. In 1993 director Jon Turteltaub filmed the unique history of the Jamaican Bob team, who participated in the Olympic Winter Games for the first time in 1988. If the team is to find a coach for the Crowdfunding action for 2018, there may be a second part soon.
