1906 Intercalated Games

Early modern Olympic Games allowed for individuals in a team to be from different nations. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) grouped their results together under the mixed team designation.[1]

Until 2024, the IOC considered all teams in which athletes from different countries competed as mixed teams. The IOC used the IOC code ZZX to designate such mixed teams. A total of 25 medals were won by mixed teams (in accordance with the IOC old criteria) in the first three modern Games, from 1896 to 1904.

However, since 2024, the IOC has changed its approach to determining which teams are actually mixed teams. If a team represented a club of a particular country at the Olympics, then such a team is now considered a team of the corresponding country, even if the club included foreign athletes. This situation was quite common in the early 20th century, when foreign athletes competing for a club had long-term permanent residence in the country of the club, but had a different citizenship. Since 2024, only those teams are considered mixed teams in which athletes from different countries participated together only for the duration of the Olympics and did not belong to a single club of any country. The IOC used the IOC code XXB to designate mixed teams under new criteria. A total of 9 medals were won by mixed teams (in accordance with the IOC modern criteria) in the first three modern Games, from 1896 to 1904.
