Ivory Coast at the Olympics

Adapted from Wikipedia · Discoverer experience

The Ivory Coast, also called Côte d'Ivoire, has sent athletes to every Summer Olympic Games since 1964, except for the 1980 games which they skipped to show they were unhappy about the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The country got its first Olympic silver medal when an athlete came second in the men's 400 metres in 1984. Then, in 2016, Côte d'Ivoire made history by winning its first gold and bronze medals in Taekwondo. So far, athletes from Côte d'Ivoire have not competed in the Winter Olympic Games.
