Winter Olympics appearances (overview)

China competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from 7–23 February 2014.

The 2014 Games marked the first time a Chinese Olympic team competed in Russia, as China and 64 western countries did not take part at the American-led boycott in the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow due to the Soviet–Afghan War.
