Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Portugal competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It was the 26th consecutive participation of the nation in the Summer Olympic Games since their debut at the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm.

These were the most successful Olympic Games for Portugal as the delegation won a total of four medals, including one gold, two silvers and one bronze, improving from their previous best-ever participation in Tokyo 2020 (one gold, one silver and two bronzes). For the first time ever, Portugal won medals in Olympic track cycling in their second participation in the discipline (after Tokyo 2020), first in the men's events. By winning a gold medal in the men's Madison and a silver medal in the men's omnium in his Olympic debut, Iúri Leitão became the first Portuguese Olympic champion in a sport outside of athletics and the first Portuguese Olympian to win two medals in a single edition of the Games. Portuguese judokas won a bronze medal for the third consecutive Games, as Patrícia Sampaio (women's 78 kg) followed the footsteps of Jorge Fonseca (men's 100 kg) in Tokyo 2020 and Telma Monteiro (women's 57 kg) in Rio 2016.
