Olympics-Team Estonia

Background

Three Estonian athletes were members of the Russian team at the 1912 Olympic Games. As a separate nation, Estonia competed at the Olympic Games continuously from 1920 to 1936. At the 1924 Olympic Winter Games, Estonia was represented at the Opening Ceremony, but no athletes competed. They first competed at the Olympic Winter Games in 1928, and also competed in 1932 and 1936.

From 1952-88, Estonia was a republic of the USSR and thus did not compete as an independent nation, but many Estonian athletes competed for the Soviet Union. During this time the most successful Estonians were the fencer Svetlana Tširkova (two gold in 1968 and 1972), the weightlifter Jaan Talts (one gold and one silver in 1968 and 1972) as well as the swimmer Ivar Stukolkin, who won gold and bronze in 1980. When the Soviet Union dissolved in 1991, Estonia declared and was granted its independence. The nation returned to the Olympic fold by competing in 1992, in both Albertville and Barcelona, and has competed at every Olympic Games and Olympic Winter Games since.^[1]

This is an ongoing project to ensure that all Olympians who represented Estonia are on Wikitree.

• Connected to their family
• Connected to the Global Tree, if possible
• With profiles that have biographical, family, and sporting information
• Well sourced
