Argentina competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia, from 7 to 23 February 2014. A team of seven athletes in two sports competed for the country. Cristian Javier Simari Birkner, an alpine skier, was the flagbearer for the second consecutive games. It also marks the third consecutive games a member of the Simari Birkner family has carried the flag for Argentina.
The 2014 Winter Olympics marked the first time that Argentinean athletes competed in Russia as Argentina and 63 other western nations participated at the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of the Soviet-Afghan war.

Alpine skiing
Main article: Alpine skiing at the 2014 Winter OlympicsAccording to the final quota allocation released on 20 January 2014, Argentina had six athletes in qualification position. The non-selection of three-time Olympian María Belén Simari Birkner led to her brother Cristian, who made the team, to lead a petition to have her as a part of the team. They claimed the selection of athletes made no sense and was purely subjective. The appeal was ultimately unsuccessful.
