Liechtenstein competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from 7 to 23 February 2014. Liechtenstein's Olympic Committee nominated 4 athletes for the Olympics.[3]
The 2014 Games marked the first time a Liechtenstein Olympic team competed in Russia, as Liechtenstein and 64 western countries took part at the American-led boycott in the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow due to the Soviet–Afghan War.
According to the quota allocation released on 20 January 2014, Liechtenstein has seven athletes in qualifying position.[4] However the National Olympic Committee only decided to send three athletes.[3] Weirather had to withdraw from the combined, and then the downhill after suffering a bone bruise on her knee and shin. She eventually was forced to withdraw from the Super-G as well.[5]
