Background

The Andorran Olympic Committee was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 31 December 1974.[1] They first participated in Olympic competition at the 1976 Winter Olympics and have taken part in every Summer and Winter Olympics since.[2] Coming into 2010, Andorra had never won a medal in either the Summer or Winter Olympics.[2] The Andorran delegation to Vancouver consisted of six athletes, four in alpine skiing, one in cross-country skiing, and one in snowboarding.[3] Lluís Marin Tarroch, the snowboarder, was chosen as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony, while alpine skier Mireia Gutiérrez was selected to carry the flag for the closing ceremony.[4][5]

Snowboarding

Lluís Marin Tarroch became the first, and as of the 2018 Winter Olympics, only snowboarder to represent Andorra at the Olympics.[6] Tarroch was 21 years old at the time of the Vancouver Olympics.[7] In the men's snowboard cross, the qualifying round was held on 15 February. The format was that everyone got two races, and the best of an athlete's two times counted.[8] The top 32 would advance to the next round.[8] Tarroch did not finish the first run, and had to rely on his second run time of 1 minute and 47.36 seconds, which put him in 34th place, and he was eliminated.[8] He would go non to represent Andorra at the 2014 Winter Olympics, and do so again at the 2018 Winter Olympics.[7][9]
