Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

The Philippines competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024, celebrating the centenary of the team's debut in the same city. Filipino athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games from 1924 onwards, except for Moscow 1980 when the nation was part of the American-led boycott.

This is the second consecutive Olympic Games where the Philippines earned at least one gold medal, winning its first-ever gold in Tokyo 2020. Carlos Yulo won two golds in the men's floor and vault events, becoming the first-ever Filipino and Southeast Asian double Olympic gold medalist, and the first from gymnastics. In addition, Aira Villegas and Nesthy Petecio from boxing each won a bronze medal.

The Philippines recorded its best Olympic performance so far, surpassing its performance in 2020, on its 100th anniversary of participation.
