Brunei at the Olympics

Brunei, as "Brunei Darussalam", first participated at the Olympic Games in 1988, with a single official but no athletes. The nation has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since 1996. Brunei has never participated in the Winter Olympic Games.

As of 2008, no athlete from Brunei has ever won an Olympic medal.

In the 2008 Olympics, Brunei originally planned to participate, but was expelled on the day of the opening ceremony after failing to register any athletes with the IOC. [http://sports.inquirer.net/breakingnews/breakingnews/view/20080808-153510/Brunei-expelled-from-Olympics-opening-ceremony]

The National Olympic Committee for Brunei was created in 1984 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee that same year.
