[edit] Temporary codes

These codes are used by the IOC when necessary to distinguish athletes from nations in transition or when there were United Nations sanctions against the nation.

Code	IOC designation	Used		Notes
		from	to
EUA	United Team of Germany	1956	1964	From 1968 until 1990 in all international competition, East and West Germany were two different teams.
EUN	Unified Team	1992		Twelve former Soviet republics fielded a joint team the year after the Soviet Union was dissolved.
IOA	Individual Olympic Athlete	2000		Individual athletes from East Timor competed under the Olympic Flag at the 2000 Games, during the United Nations Transitional Administration. This code may be used again in a situation where another sporting embargo necessitates.
IOP	Independent Olympic Participant	1992		Individual athletes from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia competed under the Olympic Flag in the 1992 Summer Games when the country was under a United Nations sporting embargo. This code may be used again in a situation where another sporting embargo necessitates.
