Winter Olympics appearances (overview)

South Africa competed at the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway. These were the first Winter Olympic games South Africa competed in since the 1960 Winter Olympics at Squaw Valley, California.

[edit]

As the design for a new post-apartheid flag had yet to be finalised, the team used a white banner charged with the emblem of Olympic Committee of South Africa, which depicted Olympic rings surrounded by olive branches, with the name of the country above.[1]
