Federated States of Micronesia (FSM)

After becoming a member of the United Nations in 1991, the Federated States of Micronesia formed a National Olympic Committee (NOC) in 1995. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) recognized Micronesia on 6 September 1997, at the IOC session in Lausanne.

Micronesia first competed at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, represented by five athletes – two in track & field (one man/one woman), two in swimming (one man/one woman), and one in weightlifting (one man). The nation has appeared at all Olympic Games since, but has never competed at the Olympic Winter Games.

The nation has never won an Olympic medal. The top performance of an athlete from Micronesia was likely achieved by Manuel Minginfel who finished 9th in the men’s featherweight weightlifting in 2012 (of 20 competitors) and 10th in 2004 (of 15 competitors).
