Monaco first participated at the Olympic Games in 1920, and has sent athletes to compete in most Summer Olympic Games since then, missing only the 1932 Games in Los Angeles, United States, the 1956 Games in Melbourne, Australia, and the boycotted 1980 Moscow Games. Monaco has also participated in every Winter Olympic Games since 1984.

Contents

As of 2024, no athlete from Monaco has ever won an Olympic medal in Summer nor Winter Games, meaning the principality has the most appearances at the Olympics (33, including 22 summer and 11 winter) without ever making it to the podium (Julien Médecin did win a bronze medal for architecture at the 1924 Olympics, but the IOC no longer considers art competition medals as part of the official tally). Its best-ever finish has been sixth place in two-man bobsleigh at the 2022 Winter Olympics. [1]

The National Olympic Committee for Monaco was created in 1907, but not recognized by the International Olympic Committee until 1953.

Former Bronze medal in 1924 Summer Games

Julien Médécin received a bronze medal for his design of the Stadium for Monte Carlo in Monaco at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris. [2] The medals in art competitions are considered official medals by the IOC, but not as an olympic sport. Nevertheless, these medals are officially included in the country profiles and in the medal tables. [3] [4] However, most secondary sources only consider medals in sports competitions and list Monaco with zero medals [1] [5]
