Question: Which country has won Olympic medals at the Winter Games but not at the Summer Games?

Answer: Liechtenstein is the only country to have won medals at the Olympic Winter Games (10 with 2 golds) but not at the Summer Games. All of their medals have been won by the country’s outstanding Alpine skiers, notably from two families, the Frommelts and the Wenzels, who together have won eight of Liechtenstein’s Olympic medals, led by Hanni Wenzel, with four medals and two gold medals.

Liechtenstein’s best results at the Summer Olympics were two seventh places by male judokas: Magnus Büchel, in the 1984 middleweight class, and Johannes Wohlwend, in the 1988 lightweight event.
