Nicaragua first participated at theOlympic Games in 1968, and has sent athletes to compete in everySummer Olympic Games since then, except the1988 Games which they did not attend due to "athletic and financial considerations."[1] Nicaraguan PresidentDaniel Ortega had previously asserted that Nicaragua would boycott the 1988 Games in support of North Korea.[a]
The nation has never participated in theWinter Olympic Games.
To date, no athletes from Nicaragua have won an Olympic medal, although thebaseball team finished in fourth place at the1996 Summer Olympics.
TheNational Olympic Committee for Nicaragua was created in 1959 and recognized by theInternational Olympic Committee that same year.
