Unified Team

Encyclopedia : U : UN : UNI : Unified Team

The Unified Team was the name used for the sports team of the former Soviet Union (except the Baltic states) at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville and the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona. The official French name used was Equipe Unifiée, hence the abbreviation EUN which appears in result listings. The Unified Team was sometimes informally called the CIS Team (Commonwealth of Independent States), although Georgia did not join the CIS until 1993.

While only five of the EUN countries took part in the 1992 Winter Olympics, all twelve participated in the Summer Olympics.
