The Turkey , the NOK , the Türkiye Milli Olimpiyat Komitesi , founded in 1908 and 1911 by the IOC recognized was already taking 1906 Summer Olympics in part. Since 1936 athletes have also been sent to the winter games. Young athletes have taken part in all the Youth Olympic Games that have been held so far, both in summer and in winter.
General
Turkey has been represented at the Summer Olympics since 1912. She wasn't there only three times. In 1920 the Turkish NOK was not invited, as Turkey, like Germany, Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria, was considered to be the trigger for the First World War . In 1932 they did not participate because of the high travel costs to the USA. In 1980 Turkey joined the US-initiated boycott of the Moscow Games.
The strength of the Turkish Olympic teams varied greatly. Since 1924 the number of athletes has consistently been in the double-digit range. In 2012, more than 100 athletes started for the first time. With 112 players, the London Olympic team was the largest to date.
By far the most successful Olympic sport in Turkey is wrestling. So far 63 medals have been won in both styles. Turkey presented the Olympic champion 29 times, plus 18 silver and 16 bronze medals. In second place with eleven medals, eight of which are gold, is weightlifting.
However, the most successful athletes in Turkey are weight lifters. Naim Süleymanoğlu was Olympic featherweight champion in 1988, 1992 and 1996. Halil Mutlu also achieved three Olympic victories . In 1996 he won the flyweight division, 2000 and 2004 the bantamweight division. Freestyle wrestler Hamit Kaplan was also able to win three medals with a gold, a silver and a bronze medal. The heavyweight won in 1956, finished second in 1960 and third in 1964.
Application to host the Olympic Games
The Turkish city of Istanbul applied five times to host the Summer Olympic Games. The application to host the 27th Summer Olympics in 2000 failed in the first ballot at the 101st IOC session in 1993 in Monte Carlo . With just seven votes, they were the first of five applicants to be eliminated. The application to host the 28th 2004 Summer Olympics was not accepted by the IOC.
At the 112th IOC session in 2001 in Moscow , the decision to host the 29th Summer Olympics in 2008 was made. In the first ballot, Istanbul remained in the running with 17 votes. In the second ballot, Beijing received the absolute majority required, so that no further ballot was necessary. Istanbul's application to host the 30th Summer Olympic Games in 2012 was not accepted by the IOC.
The 125th IOC session in 2013 in Buenos Aires was about the allocation of the 32nd Summer Olympics in 2020. In the first ballot, Istanbul was tied with Madrid (26 points). A runoff election had to bring about the decision which of the two cities came in the second ballot against Tokyo . Istanbul won the runoff by 49:45. The second ballot was then lost against Tokyo with 36:60.
Overview
Summer games
1908 to 1956
Aleko Mulos was registered for the gymnastics competitions at the Summer Games. However, he does not appear in any results list, so it is debatable whether Mulos even took part.
