The Gambia participated in eight Summer Olympic Games between its début at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States and the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England. No Gambian athlete has ever won a medal at the Olympics. The Gambia participated in the London Summer Olympics from 27 July to 12 August 2012. The Gambia National Olympic Committee (NOC) selected sprinters Suwaibou Sanneh in the men's 100 metres and Saruba Colley in the women's 100 metres. Sanneh was the flag bearer for both the opening and closing ceremonies. The athletes were due to train in York at various facilities in the city, including the Huntingdon athletics stadium and the University of York but withdrew due to financial issues. Along with the two athletes, a delegation led by the Gambia National Olympic Committee president Momodou Demba attended the London Games. The delegation consisted of Beatrice Allen, the vice-president, secretary general Peter Prom and treasurer Ousman Wadda.
