context_page_description: Luxembourg sent a delegation to compete at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France from 8–23 February 1992. This was Luxembourg's fourth appearance at a Winter Olympic Games. The Luxembourgian delegation to Albertville consisted of a single athlete, alpine skier Marc Girardelli. He won two silver medals at these Olympics, which placed Luxembourg 17th on the medal table.
context_section_description: Marc Girardelli was 28 years old at the time of the Albertville Olympics. Considered a "dominant figure" in alpine skiing, the Austrian-born Girardelli had been forced to miss the 1980 and 1984 Winter Olympics over issues with his citizenship. He had previously represented Luxembourg at the 1988 Winter Olympics.  The downhill was held on 9 February, but Girardelli failed to finish the race.  Next for him was the combined, which consisted of one run of the downhill on 10 February and two slalom runs of 11 February.  As he crashed in the downhill segment, he was not allowed to participate in the slalom portions of the competition.  In the single leg Super-G held on 16 February, he won his first Olympic medal, finishing second in a time of 1 minute and 11.77 seconds, which was nearly three-quarters of a second behind the gold medallist Kjetil André Aamodt of Norway.
  After winning silver in the Super-G, it would take only two days for him to win his second Olympic medal.  In the two-leg giant slalom race, he posted times of 1 minute and 4.70 seconds and 1 minute and 2.60 seconds.  His total time of 2 minutes and 7.30 seconds gave him the silver medal, 32/100ths of a second behind the gold medallist, Alberto Tomba of Italy. In his last event, the slalom of 22 February, he was disqualified for missing a gate during the first run.  Girardelli would later represent Luxembourg at the 1994 Winter Olympics, though he would not win any medals in Lillehammer, his best performance there was fourth in the super-G.
