Short version: African Olympic medalists

Athletes from African nations have won many medals at the Summer Olympic Games. No African country has won a medal at the Winter Games yet. The medals come mainly from athletics (running, jumping, throwing) and boxing, with other sports contributing as well. The list groups medalists by country and shows the athlete, sport, year, and medal (gold, silver, bronze). These achievements reflect Africa’s long and growing participation in the Olympics and its impact on sports across the continent.
