∙ 11y agoThe IOC rules are:
Athletes with dual nationality may compete for the country of their choice.
However, if they have already represented one country either at the Games or another major sports event, they may not compete for a different country before a period of three years has elapsed.
So no, not in the same Olympics, but someone may compete for two different countries in two separate Olympics.
No idea if anyone ever has...
