The Andorran Olympic Committee was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 31 December 1974. They first participated in Olympic competition at the 1976 Winter Olympics and have taken part in every Summer and Winter Olympics since. Coming into 2006, Andorra had never won a medal in either the Summer or Winter Olympics. The Andorran delegation to Turin consisted of three competitors: alpine skiers Roger Vidosa and Alex Antor, and cross-country skier François Soulié. Antor was the flag bearer for the opening ceremony, while a ceremony volunteer carried the flag for the closing ceremony.
