There were three "Russian" participants in Paris 1924. They are not listed in the Official Report, so it seems appropriate to consider them part of a team of "Independent Olympic Athletes". The three had French citizenship in 1924 or would get it soon after, but I class them as Russians even so.

Lacrosse (1 bronze)
1904 HP
Men's Team bronze 1500

The Mohawk Indians are credited with the bronze medal, but they tied their only match with the St. Louis AAA, so I award them the points for joined second place.
