Andorra at the 2022 Winter Olympics
Adapted from Wikipedia · Adventurer experience
Andorra participated in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, from February 4 to February 20, 2022. This event brought athletes from many countries together to compete in winter sports.
The Andorran Olympic Committee selected a team of four athletes—two boys and two girls—to compete in two sports. At first, a volunteer carried Andorra's flag during the opening ceremony because the alpine skiers would arrive later, and the cross-country skiers had a race the next day. Two days before the games began, a snowboarder named Maeva Estevez joined the team. She became the official flagbearer for Andorra at the opening ceremony, increasing the team to five athletes—two boys and three girls. During the closing ceremony, a volunteer again carried the flag for Andorra.
