The Virgin Islands Olympic Committee was first recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 31 December 1966. The USVI have sent competitors to every Summer Olympic Games since, except the boycotted 1980 Moscow Olympics. The territory first sent athletes to a Winter Olympic Games in 1988. The USVI had their only athlete at the 2006 Winter Olympics—Anne Abernathy—break her wrist in training, and they missed the 2010 Winter Olympics, making Sochi the sixth time the USVI actually competed in the Winter Olympics. Alpine skier Jasmine Campbell was the only athlete the USVI sent to Sochi. Campbell was selected as the flag bearer for both the opening ceremony and closing ceremony. She was accompanied to Sochi by her coach and father, John Campbell, who had represented the Virgin Islands at the 1992 Winter Olympics in alpine skiing..
