The Cayman Islands Olympic Committee was first recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 31 December 1975. Cayman Islands then 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 at the 2010 Winter Olympics. The delegation to Sochi consisted of five people, alpine skier Dow Travers; chef de mission David Carmichael; coach Jake Zamansky; Donald McLean and Bernie Bush, respectively the president and treasurer of the Cayman Islands Olympic Committee. Travers was selected as the flag bearer for both the opening ceremony and closing ceremony.
