Winter Olympics appearances (overview)

Spain competed at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, from 9 to 25 February 2018.

On 15 February, Regino Hernández became Spain's first Winter Olympic medalist in 26 years (since the 1992 Winter Olympics) when he won the bronze medal in men's snowboard cross.[2]. He became also the first ever Olympic medalist in snowboarding for Spain, all previous Spanish Winter Olympic medals coming from alpine skiing disciplines.

On 17 February, Javier Fernández won Spain's first ever Olympic medal in ice sports when he won the bronze medal in the men's single figure skating competition.[3]

These achievements made this edition Spain's most successful Winter Olympics to date in terms of total medal count. For the first time, both Spanish sport federations in charge of winter sports (Real Federación Española de Deportes de Invierno and Federación Española de Deportes de Hielo) got medals in the same Winter Olympics.
