Zambian athletes have won three medals in three sports. Boxer Keith Mwila won the country's first Olympic medal, a bronze, in the light flyweight category at the 1984 Summer Olympics, and twelve years later, Samuel Matete secured the silver medal in the men's 400 metres hurdles.[1] The third medal was a bronze won by Muzala Samukonga in the men's 400 metres sprint at the 2024 Summer Olympics.

The National Olympic Committee of Zambia (NOCZ) was created in 1951 and recognised by the International Olympic Committee in 1963.[1]
