Background

The National Olympic Committee of the Azerbaijani Republic was created in 1992 [1] following the dissolution of the Soviet Union, and was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 1 January 1993. [2] Azerbaijan has sent delegations to every Olympics since the 1996 Summer Olympics, first entering the Winter Olympics in Nagano in 1998. [3] While the nation has won many medals in the Summer Olympics, as of the close of the Vancouver Olympics, they have never medalled in the Winter Olympics. [3] The Azerbaijani delegation to Vancouver consisted of two alpine skiers, Gaia Bassani Antivari and Jedrij Notz. [4] Fuad Guliyev, an official, was chosen as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony, [5] while Konul Nurullayera, the chef de mission, performed the flag bearer duties for the closing ceremony. [6] [7]

Alpine skiing

Gaia Bassani Antivari was 31 years old at the time of the Vancouver Olympics, and was making her only appearance at the Olympics. [8] Jedrij Notz was 35 years old, and likewise making his only appearance at an Olympic Games. [9] On 23 February, Notz took part in the men's giant slalom, posting run times of 1 minute and 30 seconds and 1 minute and 35 seconds. [10] [11] His combined time of 3 minutes and 6 seconds put him in 72nd place for the competition, out of 81 competitors to finish both legs of the race. [12] The next day, 24 February, Antivari raced in the women's giant slalom. Due to challenging weather conditions, the second run of the race was run on 25 February. [13] On Wednesday she finished her first leg in a time of 1 minute and 30 seconds, [14] and improved her time on the day after to 1 minute and 26 seconds. [15] Her combined time of 2 minutes and 56 seconds put her into 57th position for the competition. [13] On 26 February, she ran in the women's slalom, but failed to finish the first leg. [16] On Saturday, in the last race in Vancouver, Notz would have the same fate as his compatriot in the men's slalom, also failing to finish. [17]
