Kosovo competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, from 4 to 20 February 2022. ^{[1] [2]}

Kosovo's team consists of two alpine skiers (one man and one woman). This marks the first time Kosovo has a female competitor on its Winter Olympics team. ^{[3] [4] [5]} Both skiers were the country's flagbearer during the opening ceremony. ^[6] However, because Kryeziu was identified as a close contact of one of the team's coaches infected with SARS-CoV-2 before the opening ceremony, only Tahiri was able to serve as the team's opening ceremony flag bearer. ^[7] Meanwhile a volunteer was the flagbearer during the closing ceremony. ^[8]
