Winter Olympics appearances (overview)

Mongolia competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia from 7 to 23 February 2014. Mongolia's team consisted of two cross-country skiers. This marked the third straight Winter Olympics the nation had sent two cross-country skiers.[3][4] The Mongolian team was the first officially welcomed team at the Games.[5]

Background

[edit]

The Mongolian National Olympic Committee was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 1 January 1962,[6] and the nation entered Olympic competition soon after, talking part in both the 1964 Winter and Summer Olympics. Mongolia has only missed two Olympic Games since, the 1976 Winter Olympics; and the 1984 Summer Olympics as the Mongolians joined in the Soviet-led boycott of the Games in Los Angeles.[7][8] Sochi marked the Mongolian's thirteenth appearance at a Winter Olympic Games. The delegation sent to Sochi consisted of two cross-country skiers; Byambadorj and Otgontsetseg.
