The 25 year old Chirine Njeim made her third Winter Olympic appearance after competing in the 2002 and 2006 Winter Olympics,[6] while 16-year-old Ghassan Achi[7] and 18-year-old Jacky Chamoun made their debut appearances.[8] Achi took part in the men's giant slalom on 23 February, and posted a first run time of 1 minute and 27.19 seconds.[9] He would fail to finish the second run[10] and went unclassified for the event.[11] On 27 February, he was part of the men's slalom, but was disqualified during the first run.[12]
Njeim participated in the single-run women's super-G on 20 February. She finished with a time of 1 minute and 29.59 seconds, which put her in 37th place, out of 38 competitors who finished the race.[13] Due to weather, the women's giant slalom was held over two days, 24–25 February.[14] Njeim finished her first run in a time of 1 minute and 23.28 seconds[15] and her second run, the next day, in a faster time of 1 minute and 18.33 seconds.[16] Her final combined time was 2 minutes and 41.61 seconds, which saw her in 43rd place, out of 60 athletes who finished both legs.[14]
Both Chamoun and Njeim took part in the women's slalom, held on 26 February.[17] In the first run, Chamoun posted a time of 1 minute and 9.41 seconds, while Njelm was faster at 58.97 seconds.[18] Chamoun's second run time was 1 minute and 8.62 seconds, while Njeim was again faster at 59.23 seconds.[19] Chamoun finished with a combined time of 2 minutes and 18.03 seconds, which saw her in 54th place.[17] Njeim finished with her combined time of 1 minute and 58.20 seconds, which put her in 43rd place.[17] A total of 55 competitors had finished both runs of the slalom.[17] Chamoun would go on to represent Lebanon again at the 2014 Winter Olympics,[8] while Njeim would run the marathon at the 2016 Summer Olympics.[6][20]
