In what was widely seen as a "poor representation", Namibia only sent four athletes to the 2024 Games and won no medals. A former Athletics Namibia (AN) president blamed the country's bad performance on a lack of proper preparation, opining that athletics in Namibia "is kind of a hobby" due to a lack of sports development programmes.
