History

Liechtenstein joined the Olympic Games in 1936 and has sent athletes to most Summer Olympic Games and Winter Olympic Games since then. The Liechtenstein Olympic Committee was created in 1935 to support their Olympic efforts.

Achievements

Liechtenstein is special because it is the smallest country in the world by population to have won an Olympic gold medal. All ten medals won by Liechtenstein athletes have come from alpine skiing. This makes Liechtenstein the only country to earn medals only at the Winter Olympics and not the Summer Games.

Many of Liechtenstein's medals were won by members of the same family. Siblings Hanni and Andreas Wenzel, along with Hanni's daughter Tina Weirather, won seven of the ten medals. The brothers Willi and Paul Frommelt added two more, leaving just one medal won by Ursula Konzett.

Xaver Frick, a founding member of the country's national olympic committee, is the only athlete from Liechtenstein to have competed in both the Summer and Winter Olympic Games.
