At this year’s Winter Olympics in Sochi, which will take place from 7th to 23 February, Croatians will be vying for medals in Alpine skiing  (8 – Ivica Kostelić, Natko Zrnčić Dim, Dalibor Šamšal, Filip Zubčić, Matej Vidović, Sebastian Brigović, Sofija Novoselić, Andrea Komšić.), Nordic skiing (2 – Vedrana Malec and Edi Dadić) and Snowboarding (1 – Morena Makar). Croatia won 3 medals (2 silvers and 1 bronze) at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Ivica Kostelić will be Croatia’s flag bearer at the games.
