Seychelles , whose NOK , the Seychelles National Olympic Committee , was founded in 1979, first took part in the 1980 Summer Olympics. With the exception of the 1988 Games, the Seychelles participated in all subsequent Summer Games. So far, no athletes have been sent to the Winter Games. Athletes from the island state in the Indian Ocean could not win medals.
Overview
The Seychelles' first participation in the Olympic Games took place in Moscow in 1980 . Eleven athletes, including two women, competed in athletics and boxing. The first Olympian was featherweight boxer Ramy Zialor, who entered the ring on July 20, 1980. The first female Olympian was the 800-meter runner Margaret Morel, who competed on July 24th.
At the Games in Seoul in 1988 no athletes were sent. The Seychelles left the IOC's invitation unanswered in order to show their solidarity with North Korea. In Barcelona in 1992 sailors and swimmers from the Seychelles took part for the first time, a weightlifter in Atlanta in 1996 and a judoka in Sydney in 2000 .
In 2004 in Athens the Seychelles were represented for the first time in canoeing, in 2008 in Beijing in badminton. So far, no participant from the Seychelles has qualified for another round in their discipline.
