History
After the Second World War, the athletes from Latvia could participate in the Olympic Games (1952-1988) only as members of the USSR team.During the mentioned period, athletes from Latvia, representing the USSR team, won 19 gold, 29 silver and 14 bronze medals. At the Games of the XVI Olympiad in Melbourne (1956) javelin thrower Inese Jaunzeme was the first athlete from Latvia who became the Olympic Cham-pion. Two Olympic Gold medals were won by Uljana Semjonova (basketball - 1976, 1980) and Ivans Bugajenkovs (volleyball - 1964, 1968). Javelin thrower Jānis Lūsis was successful on three occasions. He won a bronze medal in Tokyo (1964), gold in Mexico (1968) and silver in Munich (1972 ).
On the opening day of the Games of the XXIV Olympiad in Seoul, September 17, 1988, an appeal to renew the Latvian Olympic Committee was published in the national newspapers. On November 19, 1988, the activities of the renewed Latvian Olympic Committee were officially agreed upon at a meeting of 483 del-egates, having arrived from all over Latvia. To foster democracy in sport and to guarantee participation of the athletes from Latvia in all international and Olympic competitions undeir their own national flag, was declared as the main aim of the LOC. Initiator of the LOC re-vival campaign, World Champion in canoe, Vilnis Baltins, was elected the LOC Presi-dent. In August 1991, the Republic of Latvia officially regained its independence, and already on September 18, the IOC Executive Committee at its meeting in Berlin took a decision to re-establish the rights of Latvia in the Olympic Movement.
On February 8, 1992, fifty-six years later, at the XVI Olympic Winter Games in Albertville, Latvia again had its own delegation. LATVIA HAD RETURNED!Since the LOK re-establishment, Latvian athletes have won 17 Olympic medals – 2 golds, 11 silvers and 4 bronzes. The first Olympic gold for the independent Latvia has been won by the gymnast Igors Vihrovs in the Games of the XXVII Olympiad, in Sydney 2000.Maris Strombergs becomes the first Olympic Champion in both – BMX sport and Olympic history – in the Beijing XXIX Olympiad 2008.

The Olympic movement in Latvia set in motion at the beginning of the 20th century, when Latvia was still a part of the Russian Empire. In 1911 the Baltic Olympic Committee was established in Riga, yet it was under the legal juris-diction of the Russian OC. Therefore in 1912, at the V Games of the Olympiad in Stockholm, the Latvian athletes participated within the Russian team. After the proclamation of independence of the Republic of Latvia in 1918, Latvian athletes expressed their intent in the summer of 1920 to participate in the Olympic Games in Antwerp. The request was refused, as at that time no Olympic Committee existed in Latvia.
On April 23, 1922 the Latvian Olympic Committee (LOC) was established. Janis Dikmanis, an active sports official of the time, was elected the first President of the LOC. In 1923 the LOC received a notification from the IOC that Latvia was accepted as a candidate state of the IOC and was invited to participate in the Games of the VIII Olympiad in Paris in 1924, as well as in the first Winter sport week in Chamonix, later being renamed as First Olympic Winter Games.Latvia’s debut in the Olympics took place in Chamonix in 1924. Latvia was one of 16 nations which par-ticipated in the first Olympic Winter Games. Its debut in the Games of the Olympiad took place in Paris in 1924.
Two years later, Janis Dikmanis, the first President of the Latvian Olympic Committee, was elected as the IOC member.Between 1924 to 1936, Latvian athletes participated in all Olympic Games, except for the Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid in 1932, and earned three Olympic medals. In 1940 the LOC activities were interrupted by the occupation of Latvia and its illegal incorporation into the USSR.
