Curacao’s Olympic Bobsled Team

It turns out Jamaica isn’t the only tropical Caribbean island with an Olympic bobsled team… In fact, Curacao’s team (Bart Carpentier Alting, Bart Drechse) participated in the 1988 Winter Olympics and actually beat (!) the Jamaican team – made famous by the film Cool Runnings – by :00.13 seconds!
