The territory made only two appearances at the Winter Olympics Games, in 1988 at Calgary, and these 1992 Albertville Games.[2] The Netherlands Antilles was dissolved as a political entity in October 2010.[3] The 1992 Winter Olympics were held from 8–23 February 1992, a total of 1,801 athletes representing 64 National Olympic Committees took part.[4] The Netherlands Antilles sent two athletes to Albertville, in the bobsleigh competition, Bart Carpentier Alting and Dudley den Dulk.[5] Den Dulk was selected as the flagbearer for the opening ceremony.[2]

Bart Carpentier Alting was 37 years old at the time of the Albertville Olympics, and had previously represented the Netherlands Antilles four years prior in Calgary.[6][7] Dudley den Dulk was 20 years old at the time, and was making his only appearance in Olympic competition.[8][9] The two-man bobsleigh competition was held over four runs on 15–16 February, with two runs being held on each day, and the sum of all four run times determining final placement.[10] The Netherlands Antillean sled finished the first run in 1 minute and 2.97 seconds,[11] and the second run in 1 minute and 3.26 seconds.[12] Overnight, they were tied for 36th place.[13] The next day, they finished the third run in 1 minute and 3.40 seconds,[14] and the fourth in 1 minute and 3.46 seconds.[15] Their total time for the event was 4 minutes and 13.09 seconds, which put them in 37th place out of 46 sleds.[10] The gold medal was won by the first Swiss sled in 4 minutes and 3.26 seconds, and silver and bronze were both won by German sleds.[16]
