1906 Intercalated Games

The Netherlands competed at the2004 Summer Olympics inAthens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004. Dutch athletes have competed in every Summer Olympic Games since its official debut in 1908. Netherlands, however, boycotted the1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, because of the Soviet invasion of Hungary. The Netherlands National Olympic Committee (Dutch:Nederlands Olympisch Comité * Nederlandse Sport Federatie,NOC*NSF) sent a total of 210 athletes to the Games, 134 men and 76 women, to compete in 21 sports.Baseball,field hockey, andmen's volleyball were the only team-based sports in which the Netherlands had its representation at these Games. There was only a single competitor in women's fencing.

The Dutch team featured five defending Olympic champions: swimming starsPieter van den Hoogenband andInge de Bruijn, road and track cyclistLeontien van Moorsel, dressage riderAnky van Grunsven along with her horse Bonfire, and middleweight judokaMark Huizinga, who later became the Netherlands' flag bearer in the opening ceremony.^[1] Star sailorMark Neeleman, at age 45, became the first Dutch male athlete to compete in six Olympic Games since 1980 (except the1988 Summer Olympics, in which he was selected). ShooterHennie Dompeling sought his fifth Olympic bid as one of the most sophisticated members of the team, having missed the medal podium in the men's skeet from Sydney four years earlier. Among the Dutch athletes of the team, several of them were born outside the Netherlands and became naturalized citizens, including sprinterTroy Douglas, who competed for three Olympics under the Bermudian flag, badminton playersMia Audina from Indonesia andJie Yao from China, and taekwondo jinCharmie Sobers from the Netherlands Antilles.

Netherlands left Athens with a total of 22 Olympic medals, 4 golds, 9 silver, and 9 bronze, failing to achieve three medals short of the record from Sydney.^[2] Four Olympic champions managed to defend their titles from the previous Games in their respective events, while van den Hoogenband, de Bruijn, and van Moorsel still emerged as the most decorated Dutch athletes at these Games for the second time with more than a single medal. Seven of these medals were awarded to the athletes in swimming, including two from the freestyle relay teams;^[3][4] four each in cycling and judo, and three in rowing. Netherlands' team-based athletes proved particularly successful in Athens, as the men's and women's field hockey teams took home silver medals.^[5][6]
