General Interest
Bernardo de la Guardia became the first athlete to represent Costa Rica at an Olympic Games, competing in fencing in 1936 in Berlin. Costa Rica's next Olympic appearance was 28 years later at the 1964 Games in Tokyo, where judokas Orlando Madrigal and Rafael Barquero were the NOC's only representatives. The first female athlete to represent Costa Rica, track and field athlete Jeanne Robotham Gourzong, was part of a delegation of 20 athletes at the 1968 Games in Mexico City.
Costa Rica has claimed a total of four medals at the Olympic Games, which were all won in the pool by sisters Silvia Poll and Claudia Poll. Silvia secured the NOC's first Olympic medal by claiming silver in the women's 200m freestyle at Seoul 1988, and then Claudia won gold in the same event at the 1996 Games in Atlanta. Claudia became Costa Rica's first multiple medallist in Sydney in 2000, claiming bronze in both the women's 200m freestyle and 400m freestyle, and also holds the record for most Olympic appearances by a Costa Rican athlete with three.
The NOC was represented by 11 athletes at the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro, where Karen Cope and Nathalia Alfaro became the first Costa Rican beach volleyball players to have competed at the Olympic Games.
