Latvia at the Olympics

After the nation was occupied by the Soviet Union in 1940, the Latvian athletes 1952-1988 stood as candidates in the Olympics for the Soviet Union. Only after its dissolution and of Latvia's independence in 1991, the nation went back to the games in 1992 and since then took part in all the games. Overall, the Latvian athletes have won 19 medals in the Summer Games and 7 medals in the Winter Games ( Soviet- Latvian athletes excluded )

The National Olympic Committee for Latvia was first established in 1922. The current Committee is the Latvia Olympic Committee, which was recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1991.
