Unknown Olympic Competitors

It is my opinion that unknown Olympian competitors should be included in the counts. After all, we also count competitors of which we don't know the date of birth, or the first name, or the (certain) nationality, so why not those of which we know hardly anything more than that there was a competitor?

These are the number of unknown competitors in the given Olympics.
