Milan Jirasek, chairman of the Czech Olympic Committee (COV), approved additional five members' participation in the Olympics from the previous 88 athletes, thanks to a larger quota from the International Ski Federation (FIS).

The five newcomers are free-style skier Martina Konopova, accompanied by her coach Pavel Landa, mogul skier Tereza Vaculikova, cross-country racers Ales Razym, and Klara Moravcova or Eva Skalnikova.

"The nomination was confirmed on the proposal of the skiers. The widening is within the current budget of the Czech team," Jirasek said in a press release.

As the support personnel will be 95 persons, the whole Czech Olympic team will have 188 members.
