Description
After gaining independence from France in 1956 a Moroccan National Olympic Committee was established on 15 April 1959 which was recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) at the IOC session in München in May of the same year. Morocco first competed in the 1960 Olympic Games. It has since missed only the 1980 Games; Morocco also joined the 1976 African boycott, yet some of its athletes had already competed by then. Morocco has sent athletes to the Olympic Winter Games in 1968, 1984, 1988, 1992, 2010, 2014, and 2018. Through 2012, Moroccan athletes have won 23 Olympic medals, 19 in track & field athletics, and 4 in boxing. With two gold medals, middle distance runner Hicham El Guerrouj, who won both the 1,500 metres and the 5,000 metres at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, has been the country’s top Olympian.
