The West Asian country of Lebanon competed at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki, Finland, which was held from 19 July to 3 August 1952. This was the country's second appearance in a Summer Olympic Games, following their debut at the 1948 edition. The Lebanese delegation consisted of nine male competitors: boxer Sarkis Moussa, shooters Abdel Sattar Tarabulsi, Khalil Hilmi, and Abdullah Jaroudi Sr., weightlifter Moustafa Laham, and wrestlers Zakaria Chihab, Safi Taha, Khalil Taha, and Michel Skaff. With Zakaria Chihab's silver medal in the Greco-Roman bantamweight competition and Khalil Taha's bronze in the Greco-Roman welterweight competition, Lebanon won their first medals in its Olympic history during these Games.[1]
