Talk:United Team of Germany at the Olympics

message: Anyone know what anthem was used to represent the team when it won a gold?  Ode to Joy, the Olympic Hymn, or something else?  (I highly doubt either German national anthem was agreed upon) --Canuckguy 16:24, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Just a remark the abbrevation EUA wasn't used in the time, when the United Team of Germany particpated at the Olympic Games, but GER.
EUA was established just recently... Citius Altius Fortius 20:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: In 1968 an United Team of Germany participated, but the abbrevation FRG and GDR were introduced to seperate the results... Citius Altius Fortius 07:50, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure what your reference is for this.  In the official Games report (online here), you see some events in which athletes from both nations competed (e.g. rowing), which wouldn't be the case for a united team.  (Also, the 1968 Games pre-dated the standardized country codes, so you'll see "ADE" and "ALE" in that report.)  Andrwsc 15:19, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: We have to recognise that the "official Games report" is in French - the abbrevations which are used in that report are not the official abbrevations of the IOC of today - you can see that e.g at the abbrevation EUA, which was recently introduced by the IOC for the United Team of Germany, is used in the report for the USA!!!

replies: text: No, the report from 1968 is in both English and French (as many of them are).  And yes, I understand that the country codes used in 1968 are quite different from today - that's why I stated that the 1968 Games pre-dated the standardized country codes.  You still haven't answered my question: why do you think there was a single United Team of Germany in 1968 when all evidence points to independent teams for East and West Germany?  The "United Team" years were 1956-1964 only (three Olympiads).  Andrwsc 16:59, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry - you got me wrong - I suppose I wasn't able to explain what I have meant accurate in English (cause it is not my first language) - in 1968 two teams started: FRG and the GDR, but at the ceremonies and medal ceremonies the flag of the United Team of Germany (black-red-gold with white olympic rings in the red band) and the "Ode an die Freude" was used...Citius Altius Fortius 10:23, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I am also interested to see a source for this information, as it would make an excellent addition to this article and a couple of others.  Andrwsc 16:35, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm surprised that there aren't specific articles covering individual Olympic Games. I'll start setting up separate articles but before I do so, I thought I'd post here to find out whether others have thoughts on the matter. Schwede66 01:35, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: But there are specific articles for individual Games.  There are six articles linked from the infobox.  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 23:44, 8 October 2018 (UTC)
