As the Alpe d’Huez bobsleigh track was too exposed to the sun, the competitions at the Grenoble 1968 Games were held at night. Depending on the temperature, the athletes had to wake up in the middle of the night to take part in the events. --- Grenoble 1968 – Bobsleigh, participants taking care of the bobsleighs.
