The first Indonesian Olympic team consisted of a track and field athlete, a swimmer and a weightlifter in 1952. At the following summer games, Indonesian athletes competed in football, fencing and shooting (from 1956), boxing, cycling and sailing (from 1960), archery and diving (from 1972), table tennis, tennis and wrestling (from 1988), badminton and canoeing and judo (from 1992), beach volleyball (from 1996), taekwondo (from 2000) and rowing (from 2004).

On July 20, 1952, the track and field athlete Maram Sudjarmoto became Indonesia's first Olympic athlete. On November 29, 1956, swimmer Ria Tobing became the first Indonesian woman to take part in the Olympic Games.

There was no success until 1972. It was not until 1976 that the archer Leane Sunjar was able to secure a top 10 place with 9th place. In 1984 the weightlifter Maman Suryaman could reach fifth place in the flyweight division. In 1988 Dirdja Wihardja was fourth in the bantamweight division.

In 2012 in London there was a scandal in the badminton tournament in which Indonesian players were also involved. Greysia Polii and Meiliana Jauhari were disqualified in women's doubles on suspicion of match-fixing. In the last group game they were obviously unwilling to win their game. In the event of a defeat, they would have met supposedly weaker opponents in the following round, which was played in the knockout system. Two couples from South Korea and one from the People's Republic of China were also removed from the competition. For the first time since badminton became an Olympic sport, no medals could be won. The mixed doubles Tontowi Ahmad and Lilyana Natsir lost the match for the bronze medal. The only medals in London were won by weightlifters. In the men's featherweight division, Eko Yuli Irawan won another bronze medal. Triyatno had switched to the lightweight and could win silver there.
