Guatemala first competed in the 1932 Olympics, with one entrant in the Art Competitions. The National Olympic Committee was founded in 1946 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on 23 April 1947. In sports, Guatemala first competed at the 1952 Olympic Games, and then did not appear again until 1968, but has not missed an Olympic Games since.
In 2012 Erick Barrondo won the first ever medal for Guatemala when he took silver in the men’s 20 kilometer walk in London. Guatemala appeared at its only Olympic Winter Games in 1988 in Calgary, with six competitors, one woman and five men. They participated in Alpine skiing and cross-country skiing, with their best finish made by Fiamma Smith, who placed 27th in women’s slalom.
The National Olympic Committee of Guatemala is a holder of the Olympic Diploma of Merit and was awarded with the Olympic Cup in 2007.
