India sent a delegation to compete at the 1964 Winter Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria from 29 January to 9 February 1964. This was India's debut at the Winter Olympic Games. The sole athlete representing India was Jeremy Bujakowski, who competed in the men's downhill event in alpine skiing. He failed to finish the race, and went unranked in the competition.
The Indian Olympic Association was recognised by the International Olympic Committee on 31 December 1926.[1] However, by this time, they had already competed in three Summer Olympic Games, in 1900, 1920, and 1924.[2] India has participated in every Summer Olympics since 1920.[2] The 1964 Innsbruck Olympics marked India's debut at the Winter Olympic Games.[2] These Olympics were held from 29 January to 9 February 1964; a total of 1,091 athletes representing 36 National Olympic Committees took part.[3] Jeremy Bujakowski was the only athlete representing India in Innsbruck.[4]
