Gregory Sun was 39 at the time of the Salt Lake City Olympics, and had represented the country in their two prior Winter Olympics appearance.[5] Andrew McNeilly was 29 years old, and Errol Aguilera was 23 years old; both were making their Olympic debuts.[6][7] The two-man bobsleigh race was a four-leg race held on 16–17 February, with the sum of the times of all four legs determining final placement.[8] Sun participated in all four runs,[5] while McNeilly took part in the first two runs, and Aguilera was in the sled for the last two runs.[6][7] On the first day, they posted run times of 49.74 seconds[9] and 50.07 seconds.[10] Overnight, they were in 37th and last place.[11] The next day, they completed the third run in 50.68 seconds,[12] and the final run in 49.69 seconds.[13] Their final time was 3 minutes and 20.18 seconds, which put them in 37th place for the competition, last among all competitors.[8] The gold medal was won by Germany in 3 minutes and 10.11 seconds, and the silver and bronze were taken by sleds from Switzerland.[8]
