Igor Laikert (born February 27, 1991[1] in Zenica, Bosnia and Herzegovina[2]) is an alpine skier from Bosnia and Herzegovina. He will compete for Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2014 Winter Olympics in all the alpine skiing events.[3][4]

The selection of alpine skier Žana Novaković as flagbearer for the 2014 Winter Olympics resulted in controversy as Igor Laikert had better results. There were suggestions that this had to due with the ethnic divide in the country with Laikert coming from the Muslim-Croat community.[4]
