The Cayman Islands first entered Olympic competition in 1976 at the Montreal Olympics. They have participated in every Summer Olympics since, except the boycotted 1980 Moscow Olympics. The territory has never won a medal in Olympic competition. The Cayman Islands made their Winter Olympic Games debut in Vancouver. The Caymanian delegation consisted of a single competitor, alpine skier Dow Travers. Travers was chosen as the flag bearer for both the opening ceremony and the closing ceremony.
