Sporting event delegation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The People's Republic of China competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It was the nation's twelfth appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in 1952. However, China did not participate in the next seven games: 1956; the nation was absent in 1960 and 1964 over a dispute with Taiwan; 1968; 1972 due to issues with GANEFO; 1976 due to Republic of China boycott; and 1980, joining the US led boycott. The nation has participated in every Olympics since the 1984 Summer Olympics.

China competed in all sports except football and handball.
China finished the 2024 Games with 91 medals, including 40 gold medals, 27 silver medals and 24 bronze medals. This performance ranks them second in overall medals and ties them with the United States for having the most gold medals among NOCs, marking the first time in Summer Olympic history that two countries have shared the top spot in the gold medal count.[1] Additionally, China became the only country, besides the United States and the former Soviet Union, to top the gold medal count at a Summer Olympics held outside their country.[2][3] This achievement also represents a new record for the highest number of gold medals that China has won at an Olympics held outside their home soil, an improvement of two gold medals compared to their performance in the previous Olympics in Tokyo.
