Equatorial Guinea

Equatorial Guinea’s National Olympic Committee was formed in 1980 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on 26 July 1984 at the IOC session in Los Angeles, which enabled the nation to make its Olympic début at the Los Angeles Games that year. Since then it has been represented at every Olympic Games but only had athletes in the track & field events until 2000 at Sydney, when two swimmers (one male and one female) and two track & field athletes represented the nation at the Olympics. At Athens, Equatorial Guinea was represented by one male and one female track & field athlete, and in Beijing a male judoka competed for the nation. Through 2016, Equatorial Guinea has been represented by 26 Olympians, 18 men and 8 women. The nation has not competed at the Olympic Winter Games.
