Early Olympic Games allowed for individuals in a team to be from different nations. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) now groups their results together under the mixed team designation. Until 2024 IOC used code ZZX and since 2024 code XXB for designating mixed teams. At the 1896 Summer Olympics, two of three of the medalling pairs in the doubles event in tennis were of mixed nationality.[1][2]
