Background
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] This was therefore Kyrgyzstan's fourth appearance at a Winter Olympics.[2] The Kyrgyzstani delegation to Turin consisted of a single athlete, alpine skier Ivan Borisov.[3] He was the flag bearer for both the opening ceremony[4] and the closing ceremony.[5]
Alpine skiing
Ivan Borisov was 26 years old at the time of the Turin Olympics, and was making his Olympic debut.[6] On 20 February he took part in the men's giant slalom, posting run times of 1 minute and 59.49 seconds[7] and 1 minute and 37.61 seconds; in both heats, he was the last finisher.[8] He finished in 41st and last place with a time of 3 minutes and 37.10 seconds, nearly 30 seconds behind 40th place, but there were 40 other competitors who failed to finish both legs.[9] On 25 February, in the slalom, Borisov finished the first run in 1 minute and 9.54 seconds.[10] In the second run, he posted a provisional time of 1 minute and 21.07 seconds, but was disqualified for missing a gate.[11][12]
