Georgia competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia from 7-23 February 2014. The Georgian team consisted of four athletes in two sports.[4] The team also sent seven officials.[5] Georgia's government only decided to send athletes and coaches but no government officials due to the breakup in relations with Russia in the aftermath of the August 2008 war.[4]

## Flagbearer

[edit]

Originally figure skater Elene Gedevanishvili was supposed to be the flagbearer.[6] However, because of training schedules, Gedevanishvili was scheduled to arrive after the opening ceremony. Therefore, alpine skier Nino Tsiklauri was selected to replace her.[1]
