The Olympic Games have always been contested between different countries since the beginning of the modern games. Notable for being referred to as “National Olympic Committees (NOCs)”, these countries send their best athletes to the Olympic Games to compete in various sports and bring home medals for the country.

Notably, the number of countries (NOC’s) in the Olympic Games has increased over the years since the modern games were introduced in 1896. Matter of factly, there were only 14 countries (NOC’s) that participated in the 1896 Summer Olympics games. From thereon, it increased over the years to 206 countries (NOC’s) at the 2020 Summer Olympics Games in Tokyo, Japan. While the majority of these countries have been successful in winning medals at the Olympic Games, there are still some countries that are yet to win a medal in the games.

Remarkably, the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics will witness 206 countries (NOC’s) and their 10,500 athletes battling it out for the medals.
