Switzerland (SUI)

Switzerland has sent athletes to compete in every Games since it first participated at the Olympic Games at the inaugural 1896 Games. Switzerland boycotted the 1956 Summer Olympics events held in Melbourne in protests of the Soviet invasion of Hungary, but participated in the equestrian events for those Games held in Stockholm, Sweden earlier that year, where the Swiss dressage team won the bronze medal. Switzerland is the home of the International Olympic Committee, its headquarters based in Lausanne. The National Olympic Committee for Switzerland was created and recognized in 1912. [Wikipedia]
