The Philippines made its Olympic debut during the 1924 Summer Olympics held in Paris, France [1] [2] with David Nepomuceno as the sole participant, competing in the men's 100 metres and 200 metres athletic events. [3] [4] [5] In the next Olympic Games in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the commonwealth won its first medal when swimmer Teófilo Yldefonso finished third in the men's 200 metre breaststroke aquatic event. [6] [7] In the Los Angeles 1932 Olympics, [8] the country was awarded three bronze medals, the most for the Filipinos until the 2020 Summer Olympics. [9] The country also won another bronze medal at the 1936 Summer Olympics, when Miguel White gained a bronze medal in the men's 400 metre hurdles athletic event. [10]

After independence from the United States, the country did not win another medal until the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, when boxer Anthony Villanueva was beaten in the gold medal bout, thus claiming silver. [11] The next Olympic medals for the Philippines came from boxing, with Leopoldo Serantes winning bronze at Seoul 1988, [12] Roel Velasco winning another bronze four years later in Barcelona, Spain, [13] and his brother Mansueto "Onyok" Velasco claiming silver after losing in the gold medal bout in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States. [14]

After a long medal drought in four Summer Olympics, from 2000 to 2012, [15] the Philippines won another medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics when Hidilyn Diaz finished second at the women's 53 kg weightlifting in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. [16] Four years later, Diaz won the country's first ever gold medal in the Olympic Games. [17]

In the 2020 Summer Olympics, the Philippines had its highest medal haul in Olympic history with four, eclipsing the three medals the country won in 1932. [17] Together with Hidilyn Diaz's gold medal finish in the women's 55 kg weightlifting category, [18] [19] [20] the other athletes finishing with medals were Nesthy Petecio, [21] winning a silver medal in the women's featherweight boxing finals, Carlo Paalam, [22] also winning a silver medal in the men's flyweight boxing finals, and Eumir Marcial, with a bronze medal finish in the men's middleweight boxing category semifinals. [23]

In the 2024 Summer Olympics, the Philippines won two gold medals when Carlos Yulo finished first in the men's floor exercise and men's vault artistic gymnastics finals in Paris, France. Aside from Yulo, two other athletes won medals, specifically Aira Villegas, with a bronze medal finish in the women's flyweight boxing category semi-finals, and Nesthy Petecio, with a bronze medal in the women's featherweight boxing category semi-finals.
