Team Guinea - Profile

Highlights: Guinea first competed at the Olympic Games in 1968 in Mexico City, where the NOC was represented by its men's football team. Guinea managed a 3-2 win over Colombia in the group stage but defeats to France and Mexico meant the team did not progress to the knockout stages.

After missing the 1972 and 1976 Games, Guinea has sent teams to every subsequent edition of the Games with competitors participating in athletics, boxing, judo, swimming, taekwondo, and wrestling. Female athletes represented the NOC for the first time at the 1992 Games in Barcelona, where sprinters Aminata Konate and Oumou Sow ran the 100m and 200m events, respectively.

Guinea's youngest Olympic athlete competed in Seoul in 1988. Robert Loua ran in the men's 100m and 200m at the Games at age 15. He also competed in the 100m eight years later in Atlanta.
