Bermuda first appeared in Olympic competition at the 1936 Berlin Summer Games, made their Winter Olympic Games debut in 1992 at the Albertville Games, and have appeared in every Olympics since their respective debuts bar one, the boycotted 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow.[1][2] The only medal the territory has won so far is a bronze in the sport of boxing at the 1976 Summer Olympics.[1][3] For the third straight Winter Olympics, cross-country skier Tucker Murphy was Bermuda's only representative.[4][5][6] The delegation also consisted of Murphy's coach, Pepa Miloucheva, his waxer Jeff Shaw, the chef de mission Lawrence Murphy, and Sean Field-Lament, who represented the Bermuda Olympic Association's executive board.[7] Tucker Murphy was chosen as the flag bearer for both the parade of nations during the opening ceremony and for the closing ceremony.[8][9]
Bermuda qualified one male athlete, Tucker Murphy.[10] Murphy, who was 36 years old at the time, was making his third straight appearance at the Winter Olympics.[11][7] He finished the men's 15 km freestyle in a time of 43 minutes and 5 seconds, which was good for 104th place; he was more than nine minutes behind the gold medallist, Dario Cologna of Switzerland.[12]
