Olympics - Team Yugoslavia

Background

Although its official name at the time was the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, Yugoslavia first competed at the Olympics in 1920, although Serbia had already been represented by two athletes in 1912 at Stockholm. From 1920-1988, Yugoslavia appeared at every Summer Olympic celebration, although in 1932 it was represented by a lone track & field athlete. It first appeared at the Olympic Winter Games at their inception in 1924 and returned every four years with the exception of 1932 and 1960.

In the early 1990s, a civil war caused the country to fall apart. Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina competed independently from 1992. ^[1]

The last Olympics for Yugolavia were the 1988 Summer Olympics and the 1992 Winter Olympics.
