This template is used to simplify creation of Olympic results articles. It expands upon the infrastructure developed for the {{tl|Flag IOC}} template to render the following additions to an athlete's name:
* flag icon for the athlete's nation before the name
* country code for the athlete's nation after the name
* wikilink from the country code to the appropriate "''Nation'' at the ''year'' Olympics" article

==Usage==
'''<code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Flag IOC athlete|''athlete''|''code''|''games''}}</code>'''

==Examples==
<code><nowiki>{{flag IOC athlete | [[Mark Spitz]] | USA | 1972 Summer }}</nowiki></code>
: {{flag IOC athlete | [[Mark Spitz]] | USA | 1972 Summer }}

<code><nowiki>{{flag IOC athlete | [[Jamie Salé]] and [[David Pelletier]] | CAN | 2002 Winter }}</nowiki></code>
: {{flag IOC athlete | [[Jamie Salé]] and [[David Pelletier]] | CAN | 2002 Winter }}

<code><nowiki>{{flag IOC athlete | [[Nedo Nadi]] | ITA | 1920 Summer }}</nowiki></code> ''(shows historical Italian flag in use in 1920)''
: {{flag IOC athlete | [[Nedo Nadi]] | ITA | 1920 Summer }}

For comparison, the output of <code><nowiki>{{flag IOC medalist | [[Nedo Nadi]] | ITA | 1920 Summer }}</nowiki></code> is:
: {{flag IOC medalist | [[Nedo Nadi]] | ITA | 1920 Summer }}

<code><nowiki>{{flag IOC athlete|[[Selemon Barega]]|ETH}}</nowiki></code>
: {{flag IOC athlete|[[Selemon Barega]]|ETH}}

<code><nowiki>{{flag IOC athlete|[[Sifan Hassan]]|NED}}</nowiki></code>
: {{flag IOC athlete|[[Sifan Hassan]]|NED}}

== Supporting templates ==
* The country name is supplied by {{tlx|country alias|''AAA''}} where AAA is an [[IOC country code]].
* The flag image name is also supplied by {{tlc|country alias}}
** For the complete country code list with related names and flags, see [[Module:Country alias]]

==Alternatives to avoid Wikipedia's [[WP:PEIS|Post-expand include size]] limit==
Pages with many flag icons may come close to or exceed Wikipedia's [[WP:PEIS|Post-expand include size]] limit. In these cases consider {{module link|flag|IOC athlete}} instead. For basic use, <code><nowiki>{{flag IOC athlete|[[</nowiki>''athlete name''<nowiki>]]|</nowiki>''country''<nowiki>|</nowiki>''games''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> can be replaced with <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>#invoke:flag|IOC athlete|<nowiki>[[</nowiki>''athlete name''<nowiki>]]|</nowiki>''country''<nowiki>|</nowiki>''games''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code>.

==Template Data==
{{TemplateDataHeader}}

<templatedata>
{
"params": {
"1": {
"label": "Athlete",
"description": "Any content string; usually one athlete wikilinked, but could be two.",
"example": "[[Jamie Salé]] and [[David Pelletier]]",
"type": "content",
"required": true
},
"2": {
"label": "Country code",
"description": "Three letter code as per [[List of IOC country codes]].",
"example": "CAN",
"type": "string",
"required": true
},
"3": {
"label": "Games",
"description": "String of the form \"«year» Summer\" or \"«year» Winter\". In combination with the country code, shows the historically correct flag.",
"example": "1920 Summer",
"type": "string",
"required": true
}
},
"description": "This template is used to simplify creation of Olympic results articles. It expands upon the infrastructure developed for the Flag IOC template to render the following additions to an athlete's name: national flag icon before, and country code after with wikilink to the appropriate \"«Nation» at the «year» Olympics\" article.",
"format": "inline"
}
</templatedata>

Note that the combination of ''code'' and ''games'' parameters will automatically choose the correct flag for the nation (including historical flags for nations in which they have changed over the years) and the correct wikilink to the nation's article.
