Barbados first competed at the Summer Olympic Games in 1968, and has participated in each Games since then, missing only the 1980 Summer Olympics by participating in the American-led boycott of those games. The country's only Olympic medal is a bronze won by sprinter Obadele Thompson at the 2000 Summer Olympics.
Barbados competed as part of the West Indies Federation in 1960. Barbadian athlete James Wedderburn was part of the 4 x 400m relay team which won the bronze medal that year.[1]
Barbados has never competed in the Winter Olympic Games.
