Description

Trinidad and Tobago established a working committee in 1946 which was first provisionally and later fully recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). Trinidad and Tobago has competed continuously at the Olympic Games since its début in 1948, competing only as Trinidad through 1956 and in 1964. In 1960, it had one cyclist, one track & field athlete, and two yachtsmen competing in a combined team with Jamaica and Barbados under the name of the West Indies Federation, termed the Antilles by the Roma organizing committee. Though the West Indies Federation won two medals, no Trinidad athlete was a medal winner in 1960.

Trinidad and Tobago competed in the Olympic Winter Games for the first time in 1994 at Lillehammer, and competed again in 1998 and 2002. Trinidad and Tobago has won 19 Olympic medals and three golds: 15 in track & field athletics (with all three golds), three in weightlifting, and one in swimming.

Its first gold medal occurred in 1976 when Hasely Crawford won the men’s 100 metres in track & field athletics. In 2012 Keshorn Walcott seemingly became the second gold medalist for Trinidad and Tobago after winning the men’s javelin throw, but the nation actually later added a gold medal in the 2008 men’s 4x100 relay after the disqualification of Jamaica for a re-testing doping positive by Nesta Carter. However, the most medals by a Trinbagonian have been won by the sprinter Ato Boldon with one silver and three bronzes in 1996 and 2000. He is closely followed by runner Richard Thompson, with one gold and two silvers.

Trinidad and Tobago competed in the Olympic Winter Games for the first time at Lillehammer 1994, and competed again in 1998, 2002, and 2022. It has only appeared in one sport and one event, with seven athletes in the two-men bobsleigh. Their team finished 32nd in 1998 and 37th in 1994 and 2002. Gregory Sun appeared at all three Olympic Winter Games, while Curtis Harry participated in 1994 and 1998. At the Beijing 2022 Olympics, placed 28th.
