Laiatanese Olympic Committee

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Mahigorod, Trakovaski, the Laiatanese Olympic Committee (LOC) (Laiatanese: Олимпийский Комитет Лаиатанский, tr. Olimpiyskiy Komitet Laiatanskiy - OKL) is the National Olympic Committee for the Laiatanese Federation. The OKL is responsible for entering Laiatanese teams for the Summer and Winter Olympic Games, and since has expanded to covering youth games and friendlies between Laiatan and other countries.

History
The Laiatanese Olympic Committee was founded in 2013 by representatives of the Laiatanese Sports Association at a meeting in Mahigorod. Desiring a national organization to represent Laiatanese athletes abroad, a proposal was presented to the Ministry of Sport. The Ministry adopted the proposal and established the Laiatanese Olympic Committee (OKL). The OKL sent its first delegation of 105 athletes to an international competition in 2015, to the Tenth Winter Olympics.

The OKL won its first medal in the 12.5 km biathlon event thanks to Sasho Kozar, as well as its first gold medal thanks to the luge doubles team of Alla Klimov and Daria Kuzmin. Alya Gagolin set an Olympic record in the short track event with a time of 2:16.944. The Laiatanese Olympic Team would go on to win five more gold medals, a silver medal, and two more bronze medals to finish seventh overall.

The nation competed in the Eleventh Winter Olympics the following year, but had an extremely disappointing run compared to its inaugural year. The country took a total of two silver medals, one in the 10 km biathlon and the other in men's snowboard cross. Due to the poor showing at the Eleventh Winter Olympics, a delegation was not fielded to the Twelfth Winter Olympics as training facilities, staff, and regimens came under scrutiny. A delegation is being sent to the Thirteenth Winter Olympics.

Despite existing for nearly five years, the team has yet to field a delegation to the Summer Olympic Games. While it has remained unconfirmed, it is believed a delegation will be fielded to the upcoming Summer Olympics in 2018.
