Yugoslavia

Teams from Yugoslavia first participated at the Olympic Games in 1920. ''Yugoslavia'' has been the designation for Olympic teams from three distinct national entities: * Kingdom of Yugoslavia (officially called the ''Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes'' until 1929) from 1920–1936 * Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from 1948 to the 1992 Winter Olympics * Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, formed as a joint state by only Montenegro and Serbia after the breakup of Yugoslavia, from 1996 to 2002 The United Nations Security Council Resolution 777, United Nations affirmed that the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia had ceased to exist, and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) was a new state. All former republics were entitled to state succession, while none of them continued SFR Yugoslavia's international legal personality. As a result of the U.N. resolution, individual FRY athletes were allowed to compete as Independent Olympic Participants at the 1992 Summer Olympics, and FRY was not allowed to compete at the 1994 Winter Olympics. The ''Federal Republic of Yugoslavia'', consisting of the Republic of Serbia (federal), Republic of Serbia and the Republic of Montenegro (federal), Republic of Montenegro, participated at the Games since 1996. At the 1996 and 2000 Games, the nation was designated with the same code, ''Yugoslavia'' (YUG), as the defunct Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, SFRY. It was rechartered as the ''Serbia and Montenegro, State Union of Serbia and Montenegro'' in 2003 with there being no territorial changes. The ''Serbia and Montenegro'' (SCG) designation and code were used at the 2004 Games. Two of the successor nations (Croatia and Slovenia) began to compete as independent teams at the Olympics starting at the 1992 Winter Games and Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 1992 Summer Games and as of the 2008 Summer Olympics, all six successor nations, former socialist republics, have participated independently. Kosovo, a former autonomous province, made its Olympic debut as an independent national team at the

Chilean participation at the 1896 Games is recognized by the IOC. * Some sources consider Léon Thiércelin, a fencer who competed at the 1900 Games, of Haitian nationality and therefore the first Olympic appearance by Haiti. Participation of Haiti at the 1900 Games is not recognized by the IOC, so this participation is not counted in Haiti's participation total. * Some sources consider Freydoun Malkom, a fencer who competed at the 1900 Games, of Persian nationality and therefore the first Olympic appearance by Iran. Participation of Iran at the 1900 Games is not recognized by the IOC, so this participation is not counted in Iran's participation total. * Some sources consider Carlos de Candamo, a fencer who competed at the 1900 Games, of Peruvian nationality and therefore the first Olympic appearance by Peru. Participation of Peru at the 1900 Games is not recognized by the IOC, so this participation is not counted in Peru's participation total. * Enrico Brusoni's gold medal in the Cycling at the 1900 Summer Olympics, Cycling Men's Points Race at the 1900 Summer Olympics is recognized by the Italian National Olympic Committee as well as the International Olympic Committee, IOC as being won in a 1900 Summer Olympics event, although some sources state it was unofficial. * Monaco earned a bronze in the art competitions at the 1924 Summer Olympics. However, medals in Art competitions at the Summer Olympics, art competitions are no longer recognized by the IOC. * Michel Théato, a France, French athlete who won the gold medal in marathon at the 1900 Games, was born in Luxembourg. The IOC does not recognize Luxembourg participation at the 1900 Games and attributes his medal to France. The nationalities of many medalists at the 1904 Olympics are disputed as many competitors were recent immigrants to the United States who had not yet been granted US citizenship. * Sources are inconsistent regarding Albert Corey's participation in 1904, who immigrated to the United States from France. The Games report refers to Corey as a "Frenchman wearing the colors of the Chicago Athletic Association", but the IOC attributes his medal in the Athletics at the 1904 Summer Olympics – Men's marathon, marathon to the United States, and in contradiction, the medal in the Athletics at the 1904 Summer Olympics – Men's 4 miles team race, four mile team race (that was won by a team of three Americans and Corey) to a mixed team at the 1904 Summer Olympics, mixed team composed of athletes from multiple nations instead of just the United States. * The International Olympic Committee considers Norwegian-American wrestlers Charles Ericksen and Bernhoff Hansen who immigrated from Norway to the United States to have competed for the United States. Each man won a gold medal. In 2012, Norwegian historians however found documentation showing that Ericksen did not receive American citizenship until March 22, 1905, and that Hansen, who was registered as an "alien" (foreigner) as late as 1925, probably never received American citizenship. The historians have therefore petitioned the IOC to have the athletes registered as Norwegians. In May 2013 it was reported that the Norwegian Olympic Committee had filed a formal application for changing the nationality of the wrestlers in the IOC's medal database. * Robert Fowler (athlete), Bob Fowler, an American marathon runner who competed at the 1904 Games, was a native Newfoundlander, Colony of Newfoundland, Newfoundland is occasionally listed as a separate country at the 1904 Olympics, and would be listed as an historical NOC without medals. Participation of Newfoundland at the 1904 Games is not recognized by the IOC. * In 2009, historians from the International Society of Olympic Historians discovered that cyclist Frank Bizzoni was an Italian citizen when he competed in 1904 being granted US citizenship in 1917. However, the IOC does not officially recognize Italy's participation in the 1904 Olympics. * The IOC counts one gold, one silver, and two bronze medals won by American fencer Albertson Van Zo Post for Cuba instead of the United States. The one silver and one bronze medal won by American Charles Tatham (fencer), Charles Tatham are also counted for Cuba instead of the United States.
