Information About

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.
