This is a big handicap for Iran not having any meaningful participation in the Winter Olympics, decade after decade.

Summer Olympics > Winter Olympics

probably 2 or 3 alpine skiers and 1 or 2 in cross-country plus maybe an American born athlete (Darius Baradaran if he qualifies) in freestyle skiing, all of them will finish bottom of the table though

That does not sound promising. For the least Iran should have participants in biathlon and curling.

Has anyone here got any updates about Iran's level of participation in this tournament, and whether there are preparations taking place?

canada hockey, only the final if they make it.

Iran should send a small contingent to train in Russia for the last 6 months before the games.
We should invest in a few fields and really strive to win a couple of medals in 2014.

[PSGman#19]

As Iran is very few represented in it, the answer is no!

[Zamboor]

Just hockey

Looks like this will be a big event early next year!
What is (are) your favorite sport(s) in the winter games?
It would be good if Iran wins a medal in any area.
