With the Olympics well and truly underway, at AS USA, we can’t decide what to watch. Fencing’s fun, tennis is always great, and who knew how exciting skateboarding was?

With so much sport on the box, it becomes even more confusing when, let’s be honest, Sweden are taking on Switzerland in the archery and we can’t work out the scores, especially when we’re squinting at the tiny country abbreviations. Is that Luxembourg or Liechtenstein?

With that in mind, here’s the much-needed guide to all the abbreviations for each country at the Olympic Games, organised by continent. You’re welcome.
