Portugal - Profile
General Interest
Portugal has competed at 24-consecutive Olympic Games since its first in 1912. In that time the NOC has never won more than three medals at any one edition of the Games and only twice has it won that many [1984 and 2004].
Portugal's first Olympic medallists - Antonio Borges d'Almeida, Luiz de Menezes Margaride, Helder de Souza Martins and Jose Mouzinho de Albuquerque - won their bronze medals in the men's equestrian jumping team event in 1924. Portuguese athletes have gone on to win two more equestrian medals since, making it the NOC's third-most successful sport.
Portugal has won all four of its gold medals in athletics events, with the first two won in the marathon.
Carlos Lopes took the first gold, claiming victory in Los Angeles in 1984. It was his second Olympic medal as he had taken silver in 1976 over 10,000m. After winning women's marathon bronze at the 1984 Games, Rosa Mota went two better by winning the event four years later in Seoul.
Portugal's next gold came at the 1996 Games when a then 27-year-old Fernanda Ribeiro took the women's 10,000m title, which she would follow up with a bronze in the same event at the next edition in Sydney. The NOC's most recent gold was won by Nelson Evora in the men's triple jump in Beijing.
Four Portuguese athletes have won two medals at the Olympic Games - Lopes, Mota, Ribeiro and equestrian Luiz Mena e Silva. Silva won two bronze medals during his 24-year Olympic career, the first in team jumping at the 1936 Games in Berlin and the second in team dressage 12 years later at the 1948 Games in London.
Portugal's second-most successful sport by total number of medals is sailing, but it has never managed a gold, winning two silver and two bronze.
At Rio 2016, judoka Telma Monteiro won the NOC's only medal, a bronze in the women's 57kg event.
