Costas just said 204 nations?

Just a few years ago, it was something like 114.

Are they splitting up?

Well when the USSR split up that added 14 but then the two Germanys became one. A lot of the add ons are very small nations that get subsidies to send an official and athlete or two that they didn’t get in past games.
