Pakistan first participated at the Olympic Games in 1948, and has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since then, except when they participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics. Pakistan has never participated in the Winter Olympic Games.
Pakistani athletes have won a total of ten medals, eight from men's field hockey. Notably, their gold medal in 1960 ended India's run of three successive gold medals.
The National Olympic Committee for Pakistan was created in 1948.
