Suriname at the Olympics
Sporting event delegation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Suriname first participated at the Olympic Games in 1960, and has sent athletes to compete in most Summer Olympic Games since then except for the 1964 Games and the 1980 Games when the nation participated in the American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics, also it has never participated in the Winter Olympic Games. The nation has won two Olympic medals, both by swimmer Anthony Nesty.
The National Olympic Committee for Suriname was created in 1959 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee that same year.
