Namibia competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It was the nation's ninth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics, since the nation's official debut at 1992.
In what was widely seen as a "poor representation", Namibia only sent four athletes to the 2024 Games and won no medals. A former Athletics Namibia (AN) president blamed the country's bad performance on a lack of proper preparation, opining that athletics in Namibia "is kind of a hobby" due to a lack of sports development programmes.[1]
