He traveled to the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary with his supervisor Rainer Gassner . In the single-seater he was in 20th place after the first run, but fell in the second run and was not placed. After the games, he was able to complete a few training runs with the US team under the direction of Liechtenstein coach Wolfgang Schädler .
