Romania first participated at the Olympic Games in 1900, with a single participant. The National Olympic Committee for Romania is the Romanian Olympic and Sports Committee, and was created and recognized in 1914. The nation first sent a team to compete at the Games in 1924, and has only missed two editions each of the Summer Olympic Games and Winter Olympic Games since then. Notably, Romania was the lone Eastern Bloc nation not to participate in the Soviet-led boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympics
Romanian athletes have won a total of 284 medals, with gymnastics as the top medal-producing sport. Romania has won the second highest total number of medals (after Hungary) of nations that have never hosted a Games.
