Argentina competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from 7 to 23 February 2014. A team of seven athletes in two sports competed for the country. [1] [4] Cristian Javier Simari Birkner, an alpine skier, was the flagbearer for the second consecutive games. It also marks the third consecutive games a member of the Simari Birkner family has carried the flag for Argentina. [1]
The 2014 Winter Olympics marked the first time that Argentinean athletes competed in Russia as Argentina and 63 other western nations participated at the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of the Soviet-Afghan war.

According to the final quota allocation released on 20 January 2014, Argentina had six athletes in qualification position. [5] The non-selection of three-time Olympian María Belén Simari Birkner led to her brother Cristian, who made the team, to lead a petition to have her as a part of the team. They claimed the selection of athletes made no sense and was purely subjective. [6] The appeal was ultimately unsuccessful. [7]
