Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Bobsleigh at the 1988 Winter Olympics was held at the Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada
The event included competitors from countries with little or no snow.[1] These countries included Jamaica (whose involvement spurred the movie Cool Runnings), Mexico, and New Zealand. An informal "Caribbean Cup" of such countries was won by New Zealand's Alexander Peterson and Peter Henry, who finished equal twentieth. In the two-man event, the best result from a completely snow-less country was twenty-ninth by Bart Carpentier Alting and Bart Dreschsel of the Netherlands Antilles. Alting also competed in luge, finishing thirty-sixth out of thirty-eight.[1]
