Luxembourg first joined Olympic competition at the 1900 Summer Olympics and had their first participation at the Winter Olympic Games at the 1928 Winter Olympics.[1] Their participation at the Winter Olympics since has been sporadic, Luxembourg did not send a delegation to any Winter Olympics from 1948 to 1984.[1] Nagano marked their sixth appearance at a Winter Olympics.[1] The Luxembourgish delegation to Nagano consisted of a single figure skater, Patrick Schmit.[2] He was chosen as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony.[1]
Competitors
The following is the list of number of competitors in the Games.[3]
Patrick Schmit was 23 years old at the time of the Nagano Olympics, and was making his only Olympic appearance.[4] The men's singles event was held over two nights, with the short program being contested on 12 February, and the free skate taking place on 14 February.[5] In the short program, he received a total score of 71.5 points, which put him 29th and last for that round of the competition.[6] Only the top 24 were allowed to proceed to the free skate, meaning Schmit was eliminated on the first night of the competition.[5]
