Cambodia at the Olympics
Participation of athletes from Cambodia in the Olympic Games
Cambodia has competed in 11 Summer Olympic Games. They have never won an Olympic medal and have not appeared in the Winter Olympic Games.
Cambodia first competed in the 1956 Summer Olympics which were held in Melbourne, Australia, but physically competed only in Stockholm, Sweden, as Cambodia only participated in the equestrian events which took place in Sweden due to quarantine regulations and boycotted events in Melbourne over opposition to the Suez Crisis.
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, finally returning for the 1996 Summer Olympics. They have competed in every Summer Olympic Games since.

Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Cambodia at the Olympics”, the useful work is to connect “participation of athletes from Cambodia in the Olympic Games” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q844725. The first chronological checks are 1956, 1972, 1996 and 2021.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
