Romania first participated at theOlympic Games in 1900, with a single participant. TheNational Olympic Committee for Romania is theRomanian Olympic and Sports Committee, and was created and recognized in 1914. The nation first sent a team to compete at the Games in 1924, and has only missed two editions each of theSummer Olympic Games andWinter Olympic Games since then. Notably, Romania was the loneEastern Bloc nation to participate in the1984 Summer Olympics, which the other nationsboycotted. That was also Romania's most successful Olympic Games: they won 20 gold medals and 53 medals in total.
Gymnastics is Romania's top medal-producing sport. Romania has won the third highest total number of medals (afterHungary, andPoland) of nations that have never hosted the Games.
From the1972SummerOlympics through the2012SummerOlympics, Romania had qualified a women's team for thegymnastics team all-around. They had won medals at every Olympics from the1976SummerOlympics through to the 2012 Summer Games. However, the women's team failed to qualify for the2016SummerOlympics, ending the 40-year run in medals, and the 44-year run of having a team at the Olympics.[1][2][3]
At the winter Olympics Romania has won only one medal, at the1968 Winter Olympics withtwo-man bobsleigh team led byIon Panțuru andNicolae Neagoe.
