Carlos Mäder met the basic qualification standards meaning that Ghana qualified one male alpine skier.[8] Mäder was born in Ghana, but was adopted by Swiss parents and has resided in Switzerland for most of his life.[9] Mäder was the oldest alpine skier at the games, and did not finish his only event, the men's giant slalom.[10]
