From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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. <ref name="completebook">David Wallechinsky: "The Complete Book of the Winter Olympics" (2002 edition) ISBN 1-85410-807-7</ref> These countries included Jamaica, Mexico, Australia 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. <ref name=completebook/>
