Andorra at the 2022 Winter Olympics
Adapted from Wikipedia · Discoverer experience
Andorra participated in the 2022 Winter Olympics held in Beijing, China, from February 4 to February 20, 2022. This was a special event where athletes from many countries came together to compete in winter sports.
The Andorran Olympic Committee chose a team of four athletes—two boys and two girls—to compete in two different sports. At first, a volunteer carried the Andorran flag during the opening ceremony because the alpine skiers would arrive later, and the cross-country skiers had a race the next day. But just 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, making the team consist of five athletes—two boys and three girls. During the closing ceremony, a volunteer again carried the flag for Andorra.
