Ivory Coast, also known as Côte d'Ivoire, is a country in West Africa. It has been sending its best athletes to the Summer Olympic Games for many years. They first joined the Olympics in 1964. The only time they didn't participate was in 1980. This was because they joined a protest against the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

Ivory Coast won its very first Olympic medal in 1984. This was a silver medal in athletics. Later, in 2016, the country achieved a big milestone. They won their first ever gold medal, along with a bronze medal, both in Taekwondo. So far, no athletes from Ivory Coast have competed in the Winter Olympic Games.
