Mauritania at the Olympics
Sporting event delegation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mauritania has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since 1984, and has yet to win an Olympic medal. The nation hasn’t participated in any Winter Olympic Games.
The National Olympic Committee was formed in 1962 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1979. Mauritania's debut female Olympian was Fatou Dieng, who competed in the 2000 Summer Olympics.
