Kyrgyzstan at the 2010 Winter Olympics

Following the Dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 1 January 1993.[1] Kyrgyzstan has participated in every Winter Olympics since the 1994 Lillehammer Games, and every Summer Olympics since the 1996 Atlanta Games.[2] For the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, the Kyrgyzstani delegation consisted of two athletes, alpine skier Dmitry Trelevski and cross-country skier Olga Reshetkova.[3] Trelevski was chosen as the flag bearer for both the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony.[4][5]

Dmitry Trelevski was 26 years old at the time of the Vancouver Olympics.[6] On 23 February, he competed in the giant slalom, where he posted run times of 1 minute and 31 seconds and 1 minute and 36 seconds.[7][8] Results were determined by adding the two run times together, and his total time of 3 minutes and 8 seconds placed him in 76th position. This was a little over 30 seconds behind the gold medal time.[9] On 27 February he participated in the slalom, but failed to finish the first run.[10]

Olga Reshetkova was 28 years old at the time of these Olympics.[11] On 15 February, she took part in the sprint race, and finished with a time of 4 minutes and 32 seconds, which put her in last place, and 42 seconds behind the lowest position to qualify for the next round.[12]
