1906 Intercalated Games

Sweden competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. Swedish athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games except for the sparsely attended St. Louis 1904. By prolonging their streak of winning an Olympic medal at every Olympic game since 1908 (and Finland ending theirs by failing to win a medal in Paris), Sweden became the first country in history with a 51 Olympic Games medalling streak.

Sweden had its most successful Summer Olympic Games since Sydney 2000, winning 4 gold, 4 silver and 3 bronze medals.

Sweden won its first ever medals in two sports, the duo Jonatan Hellvig and David Åhman won gold in beach volleyball and Tara Babulfath won a bronze in judo.

Sarah Sjöström won two Olympic gold medals in swimming, pushing her total to 6 Olympic medals of which 3 are gold, making her Sweden's most successful Olympic swimmer in history. Armand Duplantis became only the third Swedish athlete in history to defend an Olympic title in athletics.

Sweden also won its first medals in table tennis in 24 years through Kristian Karlsson, Anton Källberg and Truls Möregårdh.
