  1. Well, this is difficult to say because:

    a) according to the IOC there are only 5 continents which have countries that compete (there are 6 geographically)

    b) Where does Europe end and Asia begin? And which islands are considered Asia and which are considered Oceania?

    All we can say with certainty is there are 205 National Olympic Committees and 204 of these sent athletes.  


  2. Africa - 53 countries

    America - 42 countries

    Asia - 43 countries

    Oceania - 17 countries

    Europe - 49 countries

    for a total of 204 countries

  3. 204 countries.
