History

Chinese Taipei in its current state made its first Summer Olympic appearance in 1956 where it was known as the Republic of China. It competed as the Republic of China until 1972 where it was forced to switch its name, causing the nation to boycott the 1976 and 1980 Olympics. They returned in 1984 with the agreed designation of Chinese Taipei and have competed ever since. Chinese Taipei sends a medium sized delegation of around 50 athletes whom compete in a variety of sports including, archery athletics, badminton, cycling, judo, shooting, table tennis, taekwondo and weightlifting.

Chinese Taipei won its first medal in 1960 and has won a total of 24 medals across 6 sports, including the recently reintroduced baseball.
