Guyana at the Olympics
Sporting event delegation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guyana has competed in 19 Summer Olympic Games. The nation has never competed in the Winter Olympic Games. In the first 5 games the nation appeared as British Guiana before it gained independence. The country has won a single medal, a bronze in boxing won by Michael Anthony at the 1980 Summer Olympics. During the colonial era of British Guiana, Guyanese athletes Jack London and Phil Edwards won Olympic medals in the 1920s competing for Great Britain and Canada, respectively.
The Guyana Olympic Association was created in 1935 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1948.
