I'm not sure which of these countries are actually participating in the Olympics. I know the Vatican is not, but Barbados and Andorra are. Here are the twenty smallest countries in the world. Rank Country Total Area (sq km) 1 Vatican 0.44 2 Monaco 1.95 3 Nauru 21 4 Tuvalu 26 5 San Marino 61.2 6 Liechtenstein 160 7 Saint Kitts and Nevis 261 8 Maldives 300 9 Malta 316 10 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines 389 11 Barbados 430 12 Antigua and Barbuda 442 13 Seychelles 455 14 Andorra 468 15 Bahrain 620 15 Saint Lucia 620 17 Singapore 647.5 18 Micronesia 702 19 Kiribati 717 20 Tonga 748
Brunei sent one athlete to the 2004 Olympics, a 1500 meter runner named Jimmy Anak Ahar who finished 13th in his heat and did not advance. Liechenstein sent one athlete, in 10 meter air rifle competition named Oliver Geissmann, who finished 22nd.
Sizewise, that would be Monaco at 1.95 square kilometers. Monaco first participated in the Summer Olympics in 1920 and the Winter Olympics in 1984. As of the 2008 Games, no athlete from Monaco has ever won an Olympic medal.
At the 2008 Games in Beijing, the smallest was 1 athlete from the island nation of Nauru. That athlete, Itte Detenamo, competed in super-heayweight class Weightlifting and finished 10th.
Itte will be the only competitor from Nauru at the 2012 Games in London and has a good chance of winning a medal. At the Commonwealth Games, he has won a bronze medal in 2006 and silver medal in 2010 in the super-heavyweight class.
The smallest at the 2008 Games will be Monaco which has an area of 1.95 square km.
The smallest country, in area, that will compete at the 2012 Games in London is Monaco which has an area of 2 square km.
