In biathlon, Jakov Fak was defending his bronze medal from Vancouver but finished 10th in sprint. Following less successful performances in pursuit and individual events, Fak finished 4th in mass start. Teja Gregorin won a bronze medal in pursuit, improving the 15th place from the sprint event. This was also first medal in biathlon for Slovenia, since Jakov Fak's bronze from Vancouver was won for Croatia. Gregorin then finished 11th in individual event and 5th in mass start. The latter result was later improved to a 4th place, following the disqualification of Evi Sachenbacher-Stehle of Germany. Slovenia did not compete in the mixed relay since Andreja Mali failed to qualify for the Olympics individually. In the men's relay, Slovenia recorded another successful result, finishing 6th.
