Template:Infobox Olympics Slovenia Slovenia is competing at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia from 7 to 23 February 2014. 66 competitors are participating, in 8 sports.[1] For the first time since the country's independence, the Slovenia men's national ice hockey team qualified for the Olympic tournament (although previously, the Yugoslavian teams at the Olympics consisted mostly of Slovenian players).

On 12 February, Tina Maze won the women's downhill, becoming the first ever Winter Olympic gold medallist for Slovenia. Ms. Maze's skiing time was identical to that of Dominique Gisin of Switzerland, so two gold medals were awarded, this being the first time that an Olympic gold medal in alpine skiing was shared.[2] Maze went on to win a second gold medal in the giant slalom.
