East Pakistan gained independence from Pakistan to become Bangladesh on 16 December 1971. The Bangladesh Olympic Association was formed in early 1979. An application for recognition was made on 31 March 1979, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognized the new member at the IOC session in Lake Placid, on 12 February 1980. Bangladesh did not compete in Moskva in 1980 but has been represented at all the Olympic Games since 1984. Bangladesh athletes have never competed at the Olympic Winter Games and the country has yet to win an Olympic medal. Bangladesh Olympians have competed in six sports through 2022 – athletics, swimming, shooting, archery, artistic gymnastics, and golf.
Swimmer Doli Akhtar is the only Bangladeshi to compete in three Olympics (2000-2008). The best performances by Bangladeshi athletes were likely by archer Mohammed Ruman Shana, when he finished 17th of 64 competitors in the men’s individual competition, and by him and Diya Siddique, when the pair finished 9th of 29 teams, in the mixed team archery event, both at Tokyo 2020.
