The Gambia at the Olympics

The Gambia has sent athletes to every Summer Olympic Games held since 1984, although the country has never won an Olympic medal. The nation has never competed at the Winter Olympic Games.

The Gambia National Olympic Committee (GNOC) was formed in 1972 and recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1976. The country boycotted the first two games for which it was eligible (1976 and 1980). Its first delegation consisted of ten athletes, all of whom were runners. Subsequent delegations have included wrestlers (1988), a long jumper (1996), a boxer (2008), a judoka (2016), and a swimmer (2016). In all other years, the Gambia has been represented solely by runners.
