Malta sent a delegation to compete at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, from 4 to 20 February 2022. It was the country's third Winter Olympic appearance. Malta's athlete consisted of snowboarder Jenise Spiteri, who also carried the Maltese flag during the opening ceremony. She took part in the women's halfpipe and ranked 21. A volunteer was the flagbearer during the closing ceremony.
Malta first sent a delegation to compete in the Summer Olympics in the 1928 Amsterdam Games. They have competed in most Summer Olympics since, missing the Olympics only in five occasions between 1928 and 2016. These were in 1932, 1952, 1956, 1964, and 1976. In spite of this, they did not send a delegation to the Winter Olympics until the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.[3] This 2022 Winter Olympics, held from 4 to 20 February, was the country's third Winter Olympic appearance, after the 2018 Winter Olympics.[4] Jenise Spiteri was the only competitor sent to the Beijing games.[5][6][7] She was chosen as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony,[1][4] while a volunteer bore the flag in the closing ceremony.[2]
