Description

Madagascar formed a National Olympic Committee (NOC) on 30 December 1963 which was ratified by the government on 15 August 1964 and recognized of the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on 26 June of that year. Madagascar made its Olympic début in the same year, and has since missed only the Games of 1976 and 1988. It has appeared at the 2006 and 2018 Olympic Winter Games. No Madagascan athlete has won an Olympic medal through 2018. Its top athlete has been the sprinter, Jean-Louis Ravelomanantsoa, who finished eighth in the 100 metres in 1968, the country’s best finish ever.
