Summer appearances

Cambodia has competed in ten Summer Olympic Games. They never won an Olympic medal[1] and never appeared in the Winter Olympic Games.[citation needed]

Cambodia first competed in the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, but physically competed in Stockholm, Sweden, as they only competed in the Equestrian events which took place in Sweden due to quarantine regulations and they boycotted events in Melbourne over opposition to the Suez Crisis.[2]

Cambodia did not compete in the Olympics for a 24-year period following the 1972 Summer Olympics due to the activities of the Khmer Rouge regime and was part of the Independent Olympic Team from 1976 to 1992, finally returning for the 1996 Summer Olympics.[2] They have competed in every Summer Olympic Games since.[1]
