The Andorran Olympic Committee was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 31 December 1974.^[1] They first participated in Olympic competition at the 1976 Winter Olympics and have taken part in every Summer and Winter Olympics since.^[2] Coming into 2006, Andorra had never won a medal in either the Summer or Winter Olympics.^[2] The Andorran delegation to Turin consisted of three competitors: alpine skiers Roger Vidosa and Alex Antor, and cross-country skier François Soulié.^[3] Antor was the flag bearer for the opening ceremony,^[4] while a ceremony volunteer carried the flag for the closing ceremony.^[5]

Alex Antor was 26 years old at the time of the Turin Olympics, and had previously represented Andorra at the 2002 Salt Lake Olympics.^[6] Roger Vidosa was 21 at the time of these Games, and would later go on to represent the nation at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.^[7] On 12 February both competitors took part in the men's downhill; Antor finished in a time of 1 minute and 55 seconds, which placed him 39th, and Vidosa completed the course in a time of 1 minute and 59 seconds, good for 50th place, out of 53 skiers to finish the race. The gold medal winning time was 1 minute and 48 seconds, put up by France's Antoine Dénériaz.^[8]

On 14 February, both men participated in the three-run combined event. Antor finished the downhill portion in a time of 1 minute and 43 seconds, but failed to finish the first of the two slalom runs and was eliminated from the competition.^[9][10] Vidosa finished the downhill run in 1 minute and 46 seconds, and the two slalom runs in 48 seconds and 47 seconds respectively.^[9][10] This meant his overall time was 3 minutes and 21 seconds for the three runs, which put him into 28th place, behind Ted Ligety's gold medal time of 3 minutes and 9 seconds.^[11]

Antor took part in the super-G on 18 February, but failed to finish the race.^[12] On 25 February both men skied the two-run slalom. Antor failed to finish the first run, while Vidosa finished it in a time of 59.8 seconds.^[13] He would improve his time in the afternoon, completing his second run in 54.1 seconds.^[14] Vidosa's total time of 1 minute and 54 seconds placed him 27th, behind Benjamin Raich's gold medal winning time of 1 minute and 43 seconds.^[15]
