Argentina participated at theOlympic Games for the first time in 1900. It has participated at all subsequent Summer Olympics except in 1904, 1912, and the nationboycotted theMoscow Olympics due to its support for the United States in 1980.[1] It participated at the Winter Olympics in 1928, 1948, 1952 and continuously since 1960.
Argentina was one of the 12 countries – the only from Ibero-America – who founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, being represented by the first Executive CouncilJosé Benjamín Zubiaur, who served in that role until 1907. TheNational Olympic Committee for Argentina was created and recognized in 1923. The country had successful performances during the period 1924-1952, claiming at least one gold medal in every edition.
Starting with the1956 Summer Olympics, Argentina suffered a gradual overall decline, a situation that reached its most critical point in the1976 and1984 Summer Olympics. In those Games, Argentina did not win any medals. At the2004 Summer Olympics inAthens, the country claimed gold medals for the first time after 52 years. 2004 also marked the point where Argentina was surpassed by neighborBrazil as the South American country with most golds and total medals. The Olympics hosted by Brazil in2016 had the biggest Argentinian delegation, 213 athletes, and the country won 3 gold medals for the first time since1948, including the first by a woman.[2][3]
Argentine athletes have won a total of 80 medals at theSummer Olympic Games. 24 of these medals have come inboxing, Argentina has won more medals in this sport than in any other. The nation has not won yet any medals at theWinter Olympic Games.
