Sochi 2014: The Countdown Series: Romania

40 days remaining until the opening ceremonies (39 until the first day of competition) at Sochi 2014. Up next on the countdown: Romania.


Romania made their winter Olympics debut at St. Moritz 1928. They skipped Squaw Valley 1960 and returned at Innsbruck 1964. Since the first Innsbruck games, they have competed ever since.

Only one medal was won by a Romanian in the winter games. It was the team of Nicolae Neagoe and Ion Panturu, who won bronze in the two-man bobsled at Grenoble 1968. The only medal in the winter games for Romania at this moment.

For Sochi, 17 Romanians will compete, including in biathlon, luge, bobsled, skeleton and cross country among others.

Up next: San Marino
