Italy at the Olympics

Sporting event delegation From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Italy has sent athletes to most of the modern Olympic Games held since 1896, outside of not having officially participated (as a national delegation) in the 1904 Summer Olympics.[1] The Italian National Olympic Committee was created in 1914 and recognised in 1915. As of 2024, Italy is the most successful nation at fencing in Olympic history.

Italy competed in tennis in 1920 and 1924, after which tennis was dropped from the Summer Olympics due to rule disputes. The sport returned in 1988, when Italy resumed sending tennis players to compete. Prior to 2024, Uberto De Morpurgo was the only Italian tennis player to win a medal at the Olympics. At the 2024 Summer Olympics, Lorenzo Musetti became the first player in one hundred years to win a medal for Italy.[5]
