Trinidad and Tobago sent a delegation to compete at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan from 7–22 February 1998. This was the nation's second time appearing at a Winter Olympic Games. The delegation to Nagano consisted of two bobsledders; Gregory Sun and Curtis Harry. In the two-man competition, they finished in 32nd place.
The Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee was recognised by the International Olympic Committee on 31 December 1946.[1] Although they have sent delegations to every Summer Olympic Games since, except the 1960 Summer Olympics, they did not participate in their first Winter Olympics until the 1994 Lillehammer Games. Nagano was thus the nation's second appearance at a Winter Olympics.[2] These Winter Olympics were held from 7–22 February 1998; a total of 2,176 athletes represented 72 National Olympic Committees.[3] The delegation sent to Nagano consisted of two bobsledders; Curtis Harry and Gregory Sun.[4] Harry was chosen as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony.[2]
