1936 flag incident

See main article: Liechtenstein at the 1936 Summer Olympics. Liechtenstein competed at the Summer Olympic Games for the first time at the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, Germany. The flag bearer was sprinter and discus thrower Oskar Ospelt.[2] It was only at these games that Liechtenstein realized their flag was identical to that of Haiti, prompting Liechtenstein in 1937 to add the crown found in their current flag.[3] This modified design was adopted on June 24, 1937.[3]
