Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Cuba competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It was the nation's twenty-second appearance at the Summer Olympics. The 2024 Cuban delegation was smaller than their 2020 delegation, which was previously their smallest delegation since 1964. It was also the second time since 1964 that the Cuban delegation had fewer than one hundred athletes. Cuba left Paris with nine medals, securing their worst performance since 1972, when they won 8 medals. The two gold medals were also Cuba's lowest tally since 1968, when they won none. This was the first time since 1972 that Cuba failed to win at least 10 medals, the first time since 1968 where Cuba won two or less gold medals, and the first time since 1960 that Cuba did not win a medal in Athletics. All of the above information excludes the boycotted games of 1984 and 1988. Despite the disappointing performance, one of the two gold medals was won by Mijain Lopez in the Wrestling Men's Greco-Roman 130 kg, who became the first person (male or female) in Olympic (winter or summer) history to win five consecutive gold medals in the same individual event. He retired immediately after his gold medal bout.
