Jeux Sans Frontières 1996

In 1996, six countries took part in the Jeux Sans Frontières. Slovenia made a reappearance but the Czech Republic and Malta did not participate, dropping the numbers back to six countries. Slovenia's return was met with instant success in the first heat. Less fortunate were the team from Lumino, Switzerland, who decided to withdraw from Heat 9 following an injury to one of their competitors. This was the first time a team had withdrawn from a JSF event. Another first was that the whole series was transmitted from one location, a 7000m² arena in Turin, Italy, with presenters from each country taking turns to front the programmes. There is a list below with the participants, the country codes and their colour:

* (CH): red
* (GR): blue
* (H): yellow
* (I): white
* (P): green
* (SLO): fuchsia
