The Lebanese team consisted of three alpine skiers. Lebanon has never won a medal at a Winter Olympics, and their best performance in Vancouver was 32nd in the women's super-G by Chirine Njeim.
Background
THe Lebanese Olympic Committee was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 31 December 1947.[1] THe Lebanese have since sent delegations to most Summer Olympics and Winter Olympic Games since then, missing the Summer Olympics only once, in 1956, and the Winter Olympics twice, in 1994 and 1998.[2] The Lebanese delegation to Vancouver consisted of three alpine skiers; one man, Ghassan Achi and two women, Jackie Chamoun and Chirine Njeim.[3] Njeim was chosen as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony, while Achi was chosen to carry the flag for the closing ceremony.[4][5]
