General Interest

Luxembourg has only missed one edition [1932] of the Olympic Games since its first appearance in 1912. At those first Games in 1912, the NOC sent an all-male 21-member team to Stockholm to contest athletics and artistic gymnastics events.

In 1920, Luxembourg won its first Olympic medal, a silver in men's weightlifting. Joseph Alzin took the medal in the 82.5kg event. He went on to compete at the 1924 Games in Paris, but did not complete the event.

Josy Barthel claimed the NOC's first gold medal in 1952 by winning the men's 1500m athletics event. The medal, which is the most recent won by a Luxembourg athlete at an Olympic Games, came in Barthel's second of three Olympic participations.

At the Rio 2016 Games, five men and five women represented Luxembourg in five sports. The Games in Brazil marked 53-year-old table tennis player Xia Lian Ni's fourth Olympic Games, making her the NOC's equal-second most prolific Olympian, behind artistic gymnast Joseph Stoffel who competed at five editions between 1948 and 1964.
