The Calgary Olympic Bobsleigh Track is part of the Canada Olympic Park in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, when the city hosted the 1988 Winter Olympic Games. The track primarily hosts bobsleigh events, but can be modified to accommodate luge and skeleton. The track is famous for its part in one of the biggest Winter Olympic stories, when Jamaica sent a team to compete in the 4-man bob in the '88 Games. The team had a spirited showing, but crashed at the last corner of their last run. The story was later adapted into a Disney comedy in 1993, Cool Runnings, with the track being used for some of the scenes.
