The Archregimancy at the First Winter Olympics

The Archregimancy's presence at the First Winter Olympics came as a surprise to many nations who didn't anticipate that the Orthodox Christian monks of the Dreamed Realm's most devout nation would send a delegation.

Yet in the cold far north of the Archregimancy, many of the Slavic monasteries contain winter sports experts for the simple reason that skiing, skating, and sledding are often the best - indeed, the only - way to travel during the devastatingly fierce northern winters.

The Archregimancy's participation was overseen by the Monastic Olympic Committee of the Archregimancy (MOCTA). The delegation's official sports' code is ARC.

The Archregimancy sent eleven athletes for individual events, and one team of two athletes for bobsleigh (the cross-country relay team consists of athletes participating in individual events) which put the nation's full delegation at a mere 13 athletes. Fr. Vasily of the Frozen Lakes (figure skating) was the team's flag-bearer at the Opening Ceremony.

Delegation & results

While most of the delegation were understandably from the northern Slavic monasteries, there were a couple of exceptions: cross-country skiier Fr. Polycarp Who Endures and normal hill ski-jumper Fr. Theophilus the Flyer.

Please note, this list has not yet officially been confirmed by MOCTA and is thus subject to change. Additionally, the scheduling of events may prevent athletes from competing in multiple events.
