context_page_description: Slovenia competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from 7 to 23 February 2014. 66 competitors were chosen to participate, in 8 sports. For the first time since the country's independence, the Slovenia men's national ice hockey team qualified for the Olympic tournament.
  On 12 February, Tina Maze won the women's downhill, becoming the first ever Winter Olympic gold medalist for Slovenia. Maze's skiing time was identical to that of Dominique Gisin of Switzerland, so two gold medals were awarded, this being the first time that an Olympic gold medal in alpine skiing was shared. Maze went on to win a second gold in giant slalom. Peter Prevc and Žan Košir each won one silver and one bronze medal in ski jumping and snowboarding, respectively. Vesna Fabjan won bronze in the women's cross-country sprint and Teja Gregorin another bronze in the women's biathlon pursuit, bringing the total number of medals to 8.
  Eight medals is an all-time Olympic record for Slovenia. In fact, Slovenia won more medals in Sochi than at all previous Winter Olympics combined.
