Jamaica Women's Bobsled Set to Go Despite Drama; Frmr. UK Coach Sentenced for Child Sexual Abuse.
VAUSE: Day 14, it's day 14 of the Winter Olympics.</s>SESAY: He's counting.</s>VAUSE: And the Jamaican women's bobsled team will take to the track later on Tuesday, this is in fact he first time for the Jamaican women's bobsled team because we all remember that was 30 years ago, yes, 30 years ago the men's bobsled team from Jamaica, they were there. "Cool Runnings" was the movie which followed because it was actually an inspiring event but the movie does not hold up well, it was just the time.</s>SESAY: Well now, there's some new drama, so maybe they should consider a sequel. Jamaica's coach abruptly left the team just days before the start of the competition taking the sled with her.</s>VAUSE: And then ball goes home.</s>SESAY: With the Jamaican beer company, Red Stripe, I like this, that's a good</s>VAUSE: Let's hope for some beer. Amanda Davies joins us now live from Pyeongchang to oh my gosh, it's drama and drama for the Jamaican team --</s>AMANDA DAVIES, WORLD SPORT INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: And beer.</s>VAUSE: -- and beer and go on, what we've got?</s>DAVIES: Yes, absolutely. The women's team are actually hoping that they're going to have "Cool Runnings" mark too, a film made after them. But it sounded like a great story though. I have to tell you that actually what has happened is that the coach threatens to take the sled but what has happened is Red Stripe has stepped in and they bought the same sled but for the Jamaican bobsled team. So they're no longer leasing it, it is now their sled and the people we were talking to yesterday were amongst the team were really, really excited because it's the first time ever that Jamaica bobsled has owned their own sled, so they're really hoping that that will add to the boost in the run ups to their first competition at the Olympic Games later on today. They take to the track much later though, it's been a great day so far but Canada, our Canadian cameraman Chris very happy, two more golds to add to their whole. First time Olympian Cassie Sharpe well and truly grabbed hers with both hands in the ski halfpipe or both skis I should say. She was more than in control after the first run, but then pulled out all the tricks on route to her 95.80, living up to her mantra of not just doing it for herself but in the hope of selling women skiing to the world. The Canadian ice dance pair of Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir did that in style as well, down at the ice arena after 20 years of skating together, their final performance in their final Olympics gave them victory ahead of their great rivals from France. Virtue has described it as a cherry on the cake, it is an incredible comeback story having retired after Sochi because they were disappointed they couldn't retain their gold from Vancouver. They then spend two years away from the sport came back to win the 2017 world championship gold and are now celebrating their second Olympic ice dance gold. A little bit earlier on I got the chance to speak to one of the figure skaters though whose Olympics hasn't exactly gone to plan. Eighteen-year-old Nathan Chen was heralded as one of the men figure skating gold medal contenders but had an absolute nightmare in his first routine, the short dance. It wiped any chance of a medal on the second day, it was a really, really painful short program to watch but he won a host of fans with the way he bounced back the next day to create Olympic history performing a record fix quad. So a few days on has Chen worked out what went wrong, he tried to explain it to me earlier today.</s>NATHAN CHEN, U.S. OLYMPIAN FIGURE SKATER: I think I just placed too much pressure on the idea what the Olympics was before I even came here. Especially going to the short program, I was -- put a lot of pressure on myself, put a lot of expectations on myself, and that definitely got the best of me and made me really cautious, really timid, heading into all of my jumps and that's -- which is not the right way to skate</s>DAVIES: A really impressive guy, easy to forget that he's just 18 years of age, we've got more of that interview coming up in WORLD SPORT later on where he admitted that his short program was the worst day of competition ever for him. On the ice of a different kind, the women's unified Korean hockey team have taken their Olympic battle, they were beaten by Sweden in their final playoff match which confirms them as finishing eighth out of the eight teams playing here in the competition. They weren't able to get the win on the board that they were so desperately hoping for. But as we've said since we first took to the ice here, a score of 23 South Koreans, 13 North Koreans impact has reached far beyond the hockey rink. And just finally, we are still waiting on any news from the court of arbitration for sport anti-doping division and their proceedings into the Russian curler, Alexander Krusheinitsky, they've said nothing since their press release yesterday. But in terms of the bigger picture and what it means for Russia and whether or not they'll be allowed to march at the closing ceremony with their own flag and Russian uniforms, the IOC spokesperson Mark Adams said in his news conference once again today that the behavior of the OAR team, the Olympic Athletes from Russia team will be taken into account along with whether the spirit and letter of the law has been adhered to here at the games. The decision will be taken on Saturday, but pretty cryptic stuff, not giving too much away as things stand. Back to you.</s>VAUSE: Russian curlers suspected a doping proof that the</s>SESAY: All right, we're shifting gears now. And a former youth football coach in Britain was sentenced to more than 30 years in prison Monday for sexually abusing his players for decades. The judge called his action sheer evil. Investigators say they fear the former coach may have abused more than 100 young boys, CNN's Erin McLaughlin was at the court and has this report.</s>ERIN MCLAUGHLIN, CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well the man the judge called the devil incarnate could very well spend the rest of his life behind bars. Barry Benel was sentenced to 31 years in prison for 50 offenses of historic child sexual abuse. The judge said he abused boys as young as eight years old, between the years of 1979 and 1991. He would first move in gaining the trust of their parents before going o to groom the boys treating them to lavish gifts and expensive holidays away, things that parents could not otherwise afford before then leveraging their love of football to get close to them and to abuse them. Now, Andy Woodward was the first victim to go public with his story. He told me that today represents for him a chance to move on.</s>ANDY WOODWARD, SEXUAL ABUSE VICTIM: I can't put it into words but it does give some closure for us as a family. Now that so many people have come forward and he is where he deserves to be. Me and my family just want us to have like put that to rest now and we've all been devastated by it. We still are now.</s>MCLAUGHLIN: Well the victims delivered really emotional impact statements to the court, their chance to address Barry Benel directly. They told him that this isn't over for them, that they will be traumatized and scarred for the rest of their life. Erin McLaughlin, CNN Liverpool.</s>VAUSE: With that, we'll take a short break. We will be right back after this.
