I'll choose my own country   probably the oldest "exotic" nation to compete in the Winter Olympics.

Only a matter of days ago we were all cheering for Ignjatovic almost making a top-16 in the World Cup if I'm not mistaken 

 

Top-8 actually  She was 14th, and today she was 24th

Lebanon at Olympic Games

Lebanon is meant to start in 2018 WOG in alpine skiing with 1 male and 1 female athlete

Victor Santos will represent Brazil in the men's cross-country  

 

It was already more or less certain, but after Leandro Lutz' last-ditch attempt in Turkey didn't work out, it was confirmed. They celebrated with a good pizza dinner in Livigno (ITA) yesterday, and rightly so, going from the favelas to the Olympics in 3-4 years is a performance to be incredibly proud of

MONACO

- Bobsleigh - two-man of Rudy Rinaldi (bronze medallist of YOG 2012, he will be a flag bearer) and Boris Vain (debut)
- Alpine skiing - Alexandra Coletti (fourth consecutive Winter Olympics), and Oliver Jenot (third Olympics, missed Vancouver)
Trivia:
- Alexandra Coletti will equalize the second-best result of Olympic appearances for Monaco - Patrice Servelle has four as well. The only one Monegasque who has one more is Albert Grimaldi (known as His Serene Highness Albert II, The Sovereign Prince of Monaco).

- Rudy Rinaldi will be first Winter Youth Olympian to represent Monaco at "adult" Winter Olympics. Earlier Angelique Trinquier, Youth Olympian from 2010, took part in Summer Olympics 2012. Both of them were/will be flag bearers at their adult Olympic debut.
