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
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 Caribbean island of Dominica has only two athletes competing in Beijing at the 2008 Olympics. It is the smallest team.
Pakistan sent a 21-member team to the London Olympics competing in four sports.
Germany is in the 2012 Olympics. They have about 300-500 athletes on their team.
Yes. As part of "Team Britain."
Irag had the smallest team with only 4 atheletes.
Obviously.
Burundi has 6
Morocco
Cook island
There were 11 countries with only 2 members and the Netherlands Antilles and South Sudan both with 2 athletes who competed under the Olympic flag as Independent Olympic Athletes.
Countries do not compete in the Olympics. Athletes form countries compete. The Greek team is probably not finalized yet.
Scottish athletes compete on the Great Britain team.
