General Interest
Samoa's first appearance at an Olympic Games came in 1984 in Los Angeles where an all-male team of eight athletes competed in athletics, boxing and weightlifting events. Those three sports continue to be the most popular for Samoan athletes, who competed under the banner of Western Samoa until the 1996 Olympic Games.
Weightlifter Ele Opeloge has recorded the NOC's two highest finishes at any Games with her performances in the women's +75kg class at the 2008 and 2012 Games. Her initial placings of fourth in 2008 and sixth in 2012 were both later improved due to doping offences. Her fourth place in Beijing was promoted to silver in 2016 after the silver and bronze medallists were both retroactively stripped of their medals for doping offences. Similarly, Opeloge's sixth-place finish in London was bumped up to fifth after another athlete was found to have failed a doping test. Her silver medal from Beijing was the first medal for her NOC at the Olympic Games.
Opeloge did not compete at the most recent Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, but her younger sister Mary did. She finished in 11th place in the women's 75kg weightlifting class as one of the eight-person team the NOC sent to Brazil to competed across five sports.
