Hong Kong has participated at every [[Summer Olympic Games]] (14 summer, 4 winter) since then except for the [[1980 Summer Olympics boycott|boycotted 1980 Games]], and has also participated in the [[Winter Olympic Games]] since 2002. Hong Kong won its first medal/gold medal in [[Hong Kong at the 1996 Summer Olympics|1996]], and a second gold medal in the [[Hong Kong at the 2020 Summer Olympics|2020 Games]]. Apart from those, Hong Kong has also won seven other medals: three silvers and four bronzes. Its best performance to-date was the 2020 Summer Olympics, winning one gold, two silver and three bronze medals. == History == The first Olympic athlete from Hong Kong was [[Yeung Sau-king|Yvonne Yeung]], who competed in 1936 for the [[Republic of China at the Olympics|Republic of China]] (which now competes as Chinese Taipei), instead of the British colony. The [[National Olympic Committee]] (NOC) for Hong Kong was founded in 1950 as the Amateur Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, and is now known as the [[Sports Federation and Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China]]. It was recognised by the IOC in 1951, and subsequently, Hong Kong was represented separately from [[United Kingdom at the Olympics|Great Britain]] (for any gold medal ceremony, the colonial flag of Hong Kong was raised and the [[God Save the Queen|British national anthem]] was played) at all future Olympic Games. After the sovereignty of Hong Kong was [[Transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong|transferred]] to the [[People's Republic of China]] (PRC) in 1997, the NOC for the [[Special administrative regions of China|special administrative region]] has been now known as '''Hong Kong, China'''. Hong Kong maintains its own NOC and is represented separately at the Olympics due to International Olympic Committee's grandfather clause. For any gold medal ceremony, the Hong Kong SAR flag is raised and the PRC [[national anthem]] is played, even in situations where athletes from China won silver or bronze, resulting in the Hong Kong SAR flag flying above that of China. This is permitted under the constitution promulgated by the PRC prior to the handover (specifically, Article 151, Chapter 7 of the [[Hong Kong Basic Law|Basic Law]]), which states that Hong Kong "may, on its own, ... maintain and develop relations and conclude and implement agreements with foreign states and regions and relevant international organizations in the appropriate fields, including the economic, trade, financial and monetary, shipping, communications, tourism, cultural and sports fields".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.basiclaw.gov.hk/en/basiclawtext/chapter_7.html |title=Basic Law Full Text – chapter (7) |access-date=2010-02-13 |archive-date=2016-10-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161008030112/http://www.basiclaw.gov.hk/en/basiclawtext/chapter_7.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2008, Hong Kong was the site of the equestrian venues for the [[2008 Summer Olympics|Beijing Summer Olympics]]. == Medals by Games == {{See also|All-time Olympic Games medal table}} {{col-begin}} {{col-2}} === Medals by Summer Games === {| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; font-size:90%;" |- !Games !Athletes |style="background:gold; width:4.5em; font-weight:bold;"|Gold |style="background:silver; width:4.5em; font-weight:bold;"|Silver |style="background:#cc9966; width:4.5em; font-weight:bold;"|Bronze !style="width:4.5em; font-weight:bold;"|Total !style="width:4.5em; font-weight: italic ;"|Rank |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1952}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1952 Summer Olympics|4]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[1952 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1956}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1956 Summer Olympics|2]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[1956 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1960}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1960 Summer Olympics|4]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[1960 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1964}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1964 Summer Olympics|39]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[1964 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1968}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1968 Summer Olympics|11]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[1968 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1972}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1972 Summer Olympics|10]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[1972 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1976}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1976 Summer Olympics|25]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[1952 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1980}} || colspan=6| ''did not participate'' |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1984}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1984 Summer Olympics|47]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[1984 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1988}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1988 Summer Olympics|48]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[1988 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1992}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1992 Summer Olympics|38]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[1992 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|1996}} || [[Hong Kong at the 1996 Summer Olympics|23]] || 1 || 0 || 0 || '''1''' || [[1996 Summer Olympics medal table|49]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|2000}} || [[Hong Kong at the 2000 Summer Olympics|31]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[2000 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|2004}} || [[Hong Kong at the 2004 Summer Olympics|32]] || 0 || 1 || 0 || '''1''' || [[2004 Summer Olympics medal table|65]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|2008}} || [[Hong Kong at the 2008 Summer Olympics|34]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[2008 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|2012}} || [[Hong Kong at the 2012 Summer Olympics|42]] || 0 || 0 || 1 || '''1''' || [[2012 Summer Olympics medal table|79]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|2016}} || [[Hong Kong at the 2016 Summer Olympics|37]] || 0 || 0 || 0 || '''0''' || [[2016 Summer Olympics medal table|-]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|2020}} || [[Hong Kong at the 2020 Summer Olympics|46]] || 1 || 2 || 3 || '''6''' || [[2020 Summer Olympics medal table|49]] |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|2024}} || colspan=6; rowspan=3| ''future event'' |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|2028}} |- |align=left| {{GamesName|SOG|2032}} |- !colspan=2| Total !! 2 !! 3 !! 4 !! 9 !!
