The Czech Republic first participated at the Olympic Games as an independent nation in 1994, and has competed in every Summer Olympic Games and Winter Olympic Games since then. Prior to the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993, Czech athletes had competed at the Olympics from 1920 to 1992 as Czechoslovakia and from 1900 to 1912 as Bohemia. The country's National Olympic Committee is the Czech Olympic Committee, which was founded as the Bohemian Committee for the Olympic Games in 1899, and recognized in its current form by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) after the dissolution of Czechoslovakia in 1993. At the Czech Olympic Committee's 2022 request, the IOC officially began using the country's short name, Czechia.
Athletes from the country have won a total of 72 medals at the Summer Games, with canoeing, athletics and shooting as the top medal-producing sports. The nation has also won 34 medals at the Winter Games, mostly in cross-country skiing, speed skating, and ultimately popular ice hockey. In terms of medal count, the most decorated Czech Olympian in the post-Czechoslovak period is speed skater Martina Sáblíková (7 medals between 2010 and 2022).
