Soviet Olympic Committee

The National Olympic Committee of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (Russian: Национальный Олимпийский комитет Союза Советских Социалистических Республик – НОК СССР) was the non-profit organization representing athletes from former Soviet Union states in the International Olympic Committee. The NOC USSR organized Soviet representation at the Summer and Winter Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee recognized the NOC USSR on May 7, 1951 at the 45th session of the IOC, thanks to which the national team of the USSR could participate in the Olympic Games. After the 1991 dissolution of the Soviet Union, a Russian Olympic Committee became the legal successor of the NOC USSR in 1992.[1]
