"Politics and sport should not mix" is often heard, but for the 1920 Olympics the line seems to have been blurred, at least, with what effect?
The nations blamed by the Allies for starting WW I were banned from the Games Hungary, Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire were banned. The USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) declined to attend.
Cuba first participated in the modern Olympic Games in 1900 but then missed the Games from 1908 to 1920, and again in 1932 and 1936. Since the 1948 Games when it again took part how many Games has Cuba missed or boycotted?
In 2020 the International Olympics Committee approved what sport, which had been included in the 2018 Youth Olympics, for inclusion also in the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris?
