Lebanon sent a delegation to compete at the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo, Norway from 14 to 25 February 1952. This was the country's second time competing in a Winter Olympic Games, after their first appearance four years prior. Lebanon was represented in these Olympics by a single alpine skier, Ibrahim Geagea. He competed in three events, and his best finish was 57th in the men's downhill competition.
The Lebanese Olympic Committee was recognised by the International Olympic Committee on 31 December 1947.[1] They joined Olympic competition less than a month later, participating in the 1948 Winter Olympics.[2] The 1952 Winter Olympics were held in Oslo, Norway from 14 to 25 February 1952; a total of 694 athletes representing 30 National Olympic Committees took part.[3] These Oslo Olympics were therefore Lebanon's second appearance at a Winter Olympic Games.[2] Lebanon sent a single competitor to Oslo, Ibrahim Geagea, who competed in three events in alpine skiing.[4]
