Medal table after Yugoslavia

edit

Teams from Yugoslavia first participated at the Olympic Games in 1920.Yugoslaviahas been the designation for Olympic teams from three distinct national entities:

TheUnited Nations[4]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 asIndependent Olympic Participants at the 1992 Summer Olympics,and FRY was not allowed to compete at the1994 Winter Olympics.

TheFederal Republic of Yugoslavia,consisting of theRepublic of Serbiaand theRepublic of Montenegro,participated at the Games since 1996. At the 1996[1]Games, the nation was designated with the same code,Yugoslavia(YUG), as the defunctSFRY.It was rechartered as theState Union of Serbia and Montenegroin 2003 with there being no territorial changes. TheSerbia and Montenegro(SCG) designation and code were used at the 2004 Games.[3]
