Three Romanian athletes are competing on Monday in the Olympic Games hosted by the Russian resort of Sochi: the skier Ania caill, in the super-combined race, the biathlonist Cornel Puchianu in the 12.5 km pursuit and Raluca Stramaturaru in the first two runs of the luge race.

Romania’s Olympic team is made up of 24 athletes.

Romania has taken part in all editions of the Winter Olympic Games with the exception of 1924 and 1960, but only one medal: the bronze, in 1968, in Grenoble, France, in the two-man bobsleigh competition.
