The first Olympics that Bhutan participated in was the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. From its first appearance in 1984 until 2008, Bhutan was only represented by archers at the Olympics (archery is the national sport of Bhutan).[1] In the 2012 London Olympics, Bhutan sent its first non-archer to compete at an olympic games: Kunzang Choden, who competed in the women's 10m air-rifle event.[2] Interestingly, the 2012 Bhutan team contained no men.[3] Bhutan has never won an Olympic medal. In spite of being very mountainous, it has never competed in the Winter Games.
The Bhutan Olympic Committee was formed in 1983 and recognized by the IOC the same year.
