History
The committee was created and recognized by the IOC in 1924. In the same year, the Lithuanian team already participated in the Games in Paris .
Before joining the USSR, the Lithuanian team participated in the Summer Games in Amsterdam and the Winter Games in St. Moritz in 1928 .
Due to financial difficulties, the country was unable to send its athletes to the 1932 Games in Los Angeles . And the Lithuanian team was not invited to the 1936 Olympics due to political conflicts with Nazi Germany , which hosted these Games.
The next Olympic Games , in which the Lithuanian team participated as an independent state, took place only in 1992 in Barcelona .
