The Russian Olympic team has been banned from the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics due to government supported doping allegations. However, 168 athletes from Russia were permitted to participate in the Olympics headed by the international committee of Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR) under the Olympic flag.

Similarly, the Russian team was banned from the 2016 Summer Olympics and I asked Athletes who have won Olympic medals under the olympic flag. This question focused on why the athletes who won medals were competing as independent individuals.

The OAR Hockey team has the best odds of winning the Hockey gold medal in the 2018 games. Since the answers to the aforementioned question didn't list any medal winners in team sports, I'm wondering how many times, if any, athletes under the Olympic flag competed in team sports? Please list the sport, year, and the results of each team.

    The Unified Team competed under the Olympic Flag, but for somewhat different reasons. Do you want to include their results? (There's a lot of them as they were just about a full Soviet team).
