The Philippines has competed in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games since its debut in the 1924 edition, except when they participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. Filipino athletes have also competed at the Winter Olympic Games on five occasions since 1972.

The country has also participated in the Summer Youth Olympic Games as well as in the Winter Youth Olympic Games.

Participation

Participation of Filipino athletes in the Olympics is sanctioned by its National Olympic Committee (NOC). Its NOC since 1975 is the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC). Prior to that date, the Philippines was represented by the POC's predecessor, the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation which was founded in 1911. The Philippines is a recognized member of the International Olympic Committee since 1929.

Filipino athletes have won a total of fourteen Olympic medals (as of 2020 Summer Olympics), with boxing as the top medal-producing sport.[1] On July 26, 2021, the Philippines clinched its first gold medal at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, with Hidilyn Diaz winning the Women's 55 kg event in Weightlifting.[2] Furthermore, with a 1-2-1 haul in its best Olympics yet, the Philippines emerged as the best performing Southeast Asian nation, a title they last held coincidentally in 1964, in Tokyo and leaped to third in the all-time medal table for Southeast Asia behind Thailand and Indonesia.[3]

Summer Olympic Games

The Philippines first competed in the Olympic Games in 1924 in Paris,[4] making it the first country from Southeast Asia to compete and, later in 1928, win a medal. The nation has competed at every Summer Olympic Games since then, except when they participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. The Philippines also decided against participating at the 1940 Summer Olympics before the Games was ultimately cancelled due to the outbreak of World War II.[5]

Winter Olympic Games

The Philippines is the first tropical nation to compete at the Winter Olympic Games when it sent two alpine skiers at the 1972 winter games in Sapporo.[6] It then went on to participate on some of the subsequent winter games, participating in the sports of alpine skiing and luge. In 2014, the Philippines sent the first Filipino and Southeast Asian figure skater to the Sochi winter games, the first time a tropical country has participated in the men's figure skating event.[7]
