Guatemala first participated at the Olympic Games in 1952, but then missed the next three Olympiads. Guatemala has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games since 1968. The nation has participated once in the 1988 Winter Olympic Games and as for 2026 it's the only time participating.
Guatemala won its first Olympic medal sixty years after its first Olympic appearance, during the 2012 Summer Olympics, when Érick Barrondo took second place in the men's 20 km walk.
The second medal was won in Paris 2024 when Jean Pierre Brol won third place in men's trap shooting.
Their third medal and first ever gold medal was won by Adriana Ruano Oliva in women’s trap shooting at Paris 2024. She also set a new Olympic record by shooting 45/50 in the final.
The National Olympic Committee (NOC) for Guatemala was created in 1947 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) that same year.
In mid-2023, Guatemala was initially suspended by the IOC due to a 'domestic legal dispute', meaning its athletes would not be invited to compete under their own flag for the 2024 Summer Olympics. On March 19, 2024, the IOC EB provisionally lifted the suspension of Guatemala's NOC.
