Nigeria at the Olympics
Nigeria first participated in the Olympic Games in 1952, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then, except for the boycotted 1976 Summer Olympics. The nation has never participated in the Winter Olympic Games.
Nigerian athletes have won a total of 23 medals, mostly in athletics and boxing. The national football team won the gold medal in 1996. In 2008, following the International Olympic Committee's decision to strip the American 4 x 400 metre relay team of their medals after Antonio Pettigrew confessed to using performance-enhancing drugs, their Nigerian rivals were awarded the gold medal. 〔(I.O.C. Strips Gold From 2000 U.S. Relay Team )〕 〔(Olympics: Nigeria awarded 4x 400m relay gold )〕
Nigeria also won a medal in the heavyweight division of taekwondo at the 1992 Summer Olympics; as this was only a demonstration sport, Emmanuel Oghenejobo's silver did not count as an official win. 〔(London may spring surprise in taekwondo, says Ashiru )〕
The Nigeria Olympic Committee, the National Olympic Committee for Nigeria, was created in 1951.
