Most of the Austrian team for the 2014 Olympic Games

Austria took part in the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi with 130 athletes, including 41 women and 89 men, in 14 of the 15 sports. Only in curling was Austria not represented.

The Austrian Olympic Committee officially nominated the athletes on January 27, 2014. This was the largest Austrian contingent at the Winter Olympic Games to date . Only for the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin did the ÖOC send more athletes with 176 athletes. Of the 130 athletes, 125 took part in competitions. Cross-country skier Johannes Dürr was excluded from the ÖOC team on the final day of the games because of a positive doping test.

On January 27, 2014, the ÖOC announced that the ski racer Benjamin Raich , double Olympic champion from Turin 2006 , would lead the Austrian delegation as the flag bearer at the opening ceremony. A few days before the opening ceremony, Raich declared that he would travel to Sochi later than planned and would therefore not be able to be the standard bearer. The new standard bearer was appointed by the ÖOC Raich's brother-in-law, the Nordic combined athlete Mario Stecher , team Olympic champion in 2006 and 2010. At the closing ceremony, the Austrian flag was carried into the stadium by the Olympic champion in the snowboard parallel slalom, which was held for the first time, Julia Dujmovits .

The Austrian athletes won 17 medals at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, four of them in gold, eight in silver and five in bronze. Thus, the Sochi games were the third most successful games in ÖOC history in terms of medals. The Austrian delegation was only able to win more medals at the 2006 Games in Turin and 1992 in Albertville .

The most successful Austrian athlete of the Games was the alpine ski racer Anna Fenninger , who won gold in the Super-G and silver in the giant slalom. Matthias Mayer became the first Austrian to win the prestigious gold medal in Austria in downhill skiing since 2002. The 34-year-old Mario Matt became the oldest Olympic champion in alpine skiing with his victory in slalom. Julia Dujmovits won the first snowboard gold medal for Austria and the first medal at winter games for Burgenland .
