Why did Soviet Union not partake in the 1952 Winter Olympics Bandy event?

  • Lack of interest

  • Political issues

  • They weren't strong enough

  • They didn't compete in international bandy competitions

Answer

The Soviet Union didn't compete in international bandy competitions, so they didn't partake in the 1952 Winter Olympics Bandy event. The Soviet Union did not join the Federation of International Bandy until 1958, and their first international bandy game was in 1961.
