==Participating nations== {{more citations needed|section|date=September 2020}} Sixty-four nations sent competitors to the 1992 Olympics, including seven nations making their first appearance at a Winter Olympics.<ref name="Olympic">{{cite web|url=https://www.olympic.org/albertville-1992|title=Albertville 1992|author=International Olympic Committee|author-link=International Olympic Committee|website=www.olympic.org|date=23 April 2018|access-date=5 September 2020}}</ref> Following the [[History of the Soviet Union (1985β1991)|collapse of the Soviet Union]] in 1991, six former-Soviet bloc nations chose to form a [[Unified Team at the Olympics|Unified Team]], while the [[Baltic states]] of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania competed as independent nations for the first time since 1936.<ref>{{cite news |title=Albertville, France 1992 |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/sports/longterm/olympics1998/history/years/1992.htm |access-date=3 September 2020 |agency=The Washington Post Archive |date=1998}}</ref> Czechoslovakia made its last appearance in the Winter Olympics before [[Dissolution of Czechoslovakia|its dissolution]] at the end of 1992. [[United Nations Security Council Resolution 757]] took effect on 30 May 1992 (97 days after the closing ceremonies), and Yugoslav athletes were able to participate under their country's national symbols. It also suspended the activities of the [[Yugoslav Olympic Committee]], making the country's athletes ineligible to compete on the [[1992 Summer Olympics]]. Despite this, some of their athletes classified in individual sports and gained authorization to compete as [[Independent Olympic Participants at the 1992 Summer Olympics|Independent Olympic Participants]] (which also happened at the [[Independent Paralympic Participants at the 1992 Summer Paralympics|1992 Summer Paralympics]]). Yugoslav athletes [[Yugoslavia at the 1996 Summer Olympics|returned to the Olympic Games in the 1996 Summer Olympics]], when only Serbia, Montenegro and Kosovo were still part of the country. The 1992 Winter Olympics were the first time since the [[United Team of Germany at the 1964 Summer Olympics|1964 Summer Olympics]] that Germany competed with a unified team. Seven [[National Olympic Committee]]s sent their first delegations to the Winter Olympics: Algeria, Bermuda, Brazil, Honduras, Ireland, Swaziland, Croatia, and Slovenia (the last two making their first appearances at any Olympics, just a few months after their respective declarations of independence from [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]]). Through the [[2022 Winter Olympics]], this has been the only participation of Swaziland (now Eswatini) and Honduras in an edition of the Winter Olympics.<ref>{{Cite book|last1=Nauright|first1=John|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=IkLYDgTnMxEC&q=1992+winter+olympics+swaziland+honduras+first+appearance&pg=RA1-PA407|title=Sports Around the World: History, Culture, and Practice|last2=Parrish|first2=Charles|date=2012|publisher=ABC-CLIO|isbn=978-1-59884-300-2|language=en}}</ref> {| class="wikitable collapsible" style="width:100%;" |- !
