Adapted from Wikipedia · Discoverer experience
Dominica first took part in the Olympic Games in 1996 and has joined every Summer Olympic Games since that time. So far, the country has only joined the Winter Olympic Games once, back in 2014.
The Dominica Olympic Committee started in 1993 and was officially recognized in 1998, twenty years after Dominica became its own country.
Recently, Dominica celebrated a big win at the 2024 Summer Olympics. Thea LaFond brought home the nation's very first Olympic medal—a gold medal—in the women's triple jump competition. This exciting moment showed how athletes from smaller countries can shine on the world stage.
