Saudi Arabia at the Olympics

Saudi Arabia at the Olympics

Saudi Arabia has competed in eight Summer Games. They first appeared in the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, West Germany. They have never competed in the Winter Games. By Saudi Arabian law, women are not permitted to compete in the Olympic Games.
