Pakistan at the Olympics

Pakistan at the Olympics

Pakistan first participated at the Olympic Games in 1948, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then, except when they participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. Pakistan has never participated in the Winter Olympic Games.

Pakistani athletes have won a total of ten medals, eight from men's field hockey. Notably, their gold medal in 1960 ended India's run of six successive gold medals. In 1996 Atlanta Summer Olympics, Pakistan's Syed Hadi Haider Naqui did pick up a Bronze Medal in the demonstration sport of Tae-Kwon-Do, but as the sport was not given full status the medal was not recognised in the offical tally.

The National Olympic Committee for Pakistan was created in 1948.
