Chinese Taipei competed at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, which was held from 6 to 22 February 2026.
The Republic of China (ROC), also known as Taiwan, competes as "Chinese Taipei" due to its political status. This was decided under the International Olympic Committee's Nagoya Resolution (1979) which allows athletes from Taiwan to compete but without using the ROC name, flag or anthem.
Figure skater Li Yu-Hsiang and bobsledder Lin Sin-Rong were the country's flagbearers during the opening ceremony.[1][2] Meanwhile, cross-country skier Sophia Tsu Velicer was the country's flagbearer during the closing ceremony.[3][4]
