Description

Cambodia made its first Olympic appearance at the Equestrian Olympic Games of 1956, in Stockholm, although it did not compete at the Melbourne Olympics that year. It participated again in 1964 and 1972. At times officially known as Khmer Republic (1970-1975) and as Kampuchea (1975-1989), the country has retaken the name Cambodia. With the frequent changes in government, the status and even the existence of a National Olympic Committee (NOC) has often been in doubt. But the latest body was recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1994, and Cambodia has competed at all Olympic Games since 1996. It has yet to win a medal and has yet to compete at the Olympic Winter Games.

In 1964, two Cambodian boxers placed equal ninth, with Khiru Soeun in featherweight and Touch Nol in light-welterweight, both winning one match, but the top Cambodian Olympic performance was likely the 73rd place out of 95 in the 2008 men’s marathon by Hem Bunting.
