Indonesia (INA)

Indonesia formed a National Olympic Committee in 1947, but recognition was rejected by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in June 1947 at the IOC session in Stockholm and was not granted before 1952. In the same year Indonesia competed at the Olympic Games for the first time and also participated in 1956 and 1960. Indonesia missed the 1964 Olympic Games when it withdrew after several of its athletes were banned for their participation at the 1963 Games of the New Emerging Forces (GANEFO). Indonesia also boycotted the 1980 Olympics. The country has never competed at the Olympic Winter Games.

Two Indonesian athletes have won three Olympics medals: Raema Lisa Rumbewas, and Eko Irawan, both in weightlifting.
