Andorra is a small country that first joined the Olympic Games in 1976. Since then, they have sent athletes to every single Summer and Winter Olympic Games!

Even though they have competed in many Olympics, Andorra has not yet won any medals in either the Summer or Winter Games.

In the Summer Olympics, athletes from Andorra have competed in sports like cycling, swimming, running (athletics), shooting, and judo. Because Andorra is a mountainous country with popular places to ski, their team for the Winter Olympics is often as big as, or even bigger than, their Summer team. All of Andorra's Winter Olympic athletes have competed in skiing or snowboarding events.

The team representing Andorra at the Olympics is called the Comitè Olímpic Andorrà. They have been in charge since 1976.
