Oman is a country in the Middle East. It has sent athletes to compete in the Summer Olympic Games ten times. The first time Oman took part was in 1984. However, Oman has never competed in the Winter Olympic Games. So far, no athlete from Oman has won an Olympic medal.

The organization that helps Omani athletes go to the Olympics is called the Oman Olympic Committee. It was officially recognized in 1982.

Oman at the Youth Olympic Games

Oman also sends young athletes to the Youth Olympic Games. These games are for younger competitors.

At the first Summer Youth Games in Singapore in 2010, two young people from Oman competed. A boy and a girl took part in sports like athletics and horse riding (equestrian sports).

One Omani show jumper, Sultan al-Tooqi, won a silver medal. He won it with his horse, Joondooree Farms Damiro. This medal was part of a mixed team from Australasia. Because it was a mixed team, this medal does not count towards Oman's official Olympic medal count.

In 2014, three young Omani athletes went to the Youth Games in Nanjing. Two boys and one girl competed in athletics and beach volleyball.
