Background

The Swaziland Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 1 January 1972.[1] Swaziland first sent a delegation to the Summer Olympic Games at the 1972 Summer Olympics.[2] They did not send a delegation in 1976, and participated in the United States-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics;[3] but have participated in every Summer Olympics since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics.[4] This made Beijing Swaziland's eighth appearance at a Summer Olympiad.[2] The 2008 Summer Olympics were held from 8–24 August 2008; a total of 10,942 athletes represented 204 National Olympic Committees.[5] The Swazi delegation to Beijing consisted of four competitors, two track and field athletes; Isaiah Msibi and Temalangeni Dlamini; and two swimmers; Luke Hall and Senele Dlamini.[6] Temalangeni Dlamini was chosen as the flag-bearer for the opening ceremony,[2] while Hall was selected to do the same at the closing ceremony.[7]
