Jordan at the Olympics

Jordan first participated at the Olympic Games in 1980, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then. The nation has never participated in the Winter Olympic Games.

As of 2008, no Jordanian athlete has ever won an Olympic medal. However, in the 1988 Seoul Games, a Jordanian athlete did win a Bronze medal in Taekwando. As this was Taekwando's first appearance in the Olympics it was ruled a demonstration sport not an official Olympic event.

The National Olympic Committee for Jordan was created in 1957 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1963.
