Other Olympic Teams and Independent Olympic Athletes

  • 1896, 1900, 1904 - Mixed Teams - at the early Olympic games, individual athletes from different countries were allowed to compete in mixed teams.

  • 1980 - Independent Olympic Athletes - some National Olympic Committees wished to attend the Olympiad despite their governments' supporting the American-led boycott.

  • 1992 - Unified Team - the united team of athletes from ex-republics of the Soviet Union.

  • 2012 - Independent Olympic Athletes - four athletes competed at the Summer Olympics after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles.

  • 2016 - Refugee Olympic Team - the team of refugee athletes from South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, and Syria.
  • 2016 - Independent Olympic Athlete - Kuwaiti athletes competed independently, as the International Olympic Committee suspended the Kuwait Olympic Committee due to governmental interference.
  • 2018 - Olympic Athlete from Russia - select Russian athletes were permitted to participate in the Winter Olympics after the Russian Olympic Committee was suspended for doping.
