The Slovenský olympijský výbor, (English: Slovak Olympic Committee) was founded on December 19, 1992 after the split of Czechoslovakia and was recognized by the IOC on January 20, 1993. It evolved from the Československý olympijský výbor (English: Czechoslovak Olympic Committee) which lasted until March 27, 1993. It traces its roots to the first Slovak sports committee, "Národní olympijský výbor Slovenska" (English: National Olympic Committee of Slovakia) established on June 18, 1939, representative of the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. In the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia, its officials decided under pressure of the growing Nazi persecution in April 1943 of the "voluntary" dissolution of the committee and the transfer of all assets to the Český olympijský výbor (ČOV) (English: Czech Sport Committee."
