Following a break of two Games, Senegal once again sent an athlete to the Winter Olympics in 2006. This was the first time Senegal had fielded a Winter Games team which did not feature Guèye. Instead, alpine skier Leyti Seck was chosen as the country's sole representative, who had been competing professionally since 2002. He had been brought to the attention of Guèye, who was the head of the Senegalese Ski Federation. Seck was chosen as the flagbearer for the Parade of Nations in the opening ceremony, while Guèye returned as flagbearer for the closing ceremony.
