The Luxembourg Olympic Committee (COSL) was founded in 1912, the same year as
its first participation in the Stockholm Olympic Games. Since then, the COSL has
participated in all Summer Olympic Games’ venues (with the exception of the Los
Angeles games in 1932). In 1952, in Helsinki, Josy Barthel won the only gold
medal in Luxembourg Olympic history by winning the 1500 m in 3:45.2
seconds.
In 1974, a complete restructuring of the Luxembourg Olympic and sporting movement took place: the COSL brought together the Luxembourg sporting federations (61 at the time).
On 28 April 1978, the cabinet recognised the COSL as the central sporting organisation.
During the Winter Olympic Games in Albertville in 1992, Marc Girardelli won two silver medals in the Super G and Giant Slalom.
In 2001, the COSL modified its internal structure, allowing for greater professionalism, without which performances at the highest level would not be possible. Consistent with its mission to promote all levels of sport and sporting practice in Luxembourg, the COSL also supports competitive sports federations and invests in leisure sports and school sports.
The COSL hopes to participate in the London Olympic Games from 27 July to 12 August 2012 with a dozen athletes. It has done everything it can to enable Luxembourg athletes to be properly prepared and achieve good results.
The Olympic Games are the meeting place of some 10,000 athletes selected by 204 Olympic committees around the world.
The variety of events and the great media interest make these games the number one sporting event. The geographic proximity of the 2012 Games will allow numerous supporters to encourage Luxembourg athletes and to enjoy this unique ambiance.

Queen's Diamond Jubilee
Eight new stamps featuring memorable
events of the Queen's reign have been launched to mark her Diamond Jubilee.
They feature images of The Queen performing her official duties both in the
UK and on the world stage. The earliest stamp shows the Queen delivering the first televised Christmas broadcast in 1957.
The most recent shows her inspecting the 2nd Battalion Royal Welsh, as Commander-in-Chief of the UK's Armed Forces, half a century later in 2007.
In 2012, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II celebrates her Diamond Jubilee, marking 60 years as sovereign. She acceded to the throne on 6 February 1952, following the death of King George VI.
Throughout her reign the Queen's priorities have been loyalty and service to her people. The Diamond Jubilee provides Australia - along with Britain and other Commonwealth countries - the opportunity to celebrate her dedication to duty, and the grace and strength she has brought to her public life and role of monarch.Royalmail :
