Singapore at the Olympics
Sporting event delegation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Singapore has sent athletes to the celebration of the Olympic Games since 1948, when it was established as a separate British crown colony from the Straits Settlements just over three months before the commencement of the 1948 Summer Olympics.[lower-alpha 1] It continued to send a team to the Games until 1964 when the Singaporean delegation competed with Malaysia, which sent a combined team.

Singapore made their Winter Olympics debut at the 2018 Winter Olympics, with speed skater, Cheyenne Goh, competing in the short track speed skating event.[2][3][4] The Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) is the National Olympic Committee for Singapore.
