Kuwait’s National Olympic Committee was formed in 1957 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in October 1966 at the IOC session in Baden-Baden. Kuwait has competed continuously at the Olympic Games since 1968. It has never competed at the Olympic Winter Games. Kuwaiti athletes have won two bronze medals, both won by Fehaid Al-Deehani in 2000 double trap shooting and in 2012 trap shooting. In January 2010, the IOC briefly suspended the Kuwaiti Olympic Committee due to alleged interference from the government, after warning it and asking it to amend government legislation that allows the Kuwaiti government to be involved in elections of sporting organizations. As a result of that suspension, Kuwait had to compete at the 2010 Asian Games under the name “Athletes from Kuwait”, although the suspension was lifted and it competed at London in 2012 as Kuwait.
