Bosnia and Herzegovina competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia from 7 to 23 February 2014. The team consists of five athletes in three sports. The team marched in the opening ceremony wearing clothes that will pay homage to the 30th anniversary of the 1984 Winter Olympics held in Sarajevo.[4]
The selection of alpine skier Žana Novaković as flagbearer resulted in controversy as another skier, Igor Laikert had better results. There were suggestions that this had to due with the ethnic divide in the country with Laikert coming from the Muslim-Croat community.[1]
