The Austrian athletes for the 2014 Winter Olympics
Austria competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from 7 to 23 February 2014. The team was composed of 132 athletes in 14 sports, consisting of 90 men and 42 women. The 132 athletes is 27 more than the country's previous largest Winter Olympics team.[4]
Originally Benjamin Raich[4] was scheduled to carry the flag at the opening ceremony, however he withdrew after he decided to skip the combined competition, thus delaying his arrival in Sochi.[5] Nordic combined athlete Mario Stecher was named his replacement.[1]
The Austrian Olympic Committee received a Russian letter containing a kidnap threat against Alpine skier Bernadette Schild and skeleton pilot Janine Flock during the Sochi Games.[6]
On 23 February, skier Johannes Dürr was suspended from the Winter Olympics after testing positive for EPO.[7]
