國家奧林匹克委員會[编辑]

The Gambia National Olympic Committee (GNOC) was formed in 1972, but not recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) until 1976.[1] The GNOC is based at Olympic House, Bakau.[2] In April 2014, on government orders, police seized the building and barred GNOC employees from entering. At the same time, the Ministry of Youth and Sports placed a travel ban on GNOC officials.[3] The disruption meant that the Gambia did not send athletes to the 2014 African Youth Games英语2014 African Youth Games in Botswana.[4] Following condemnation from the IOC, Olympic House was reopened in August, but the government continued to control access to the building. A crisis meeting was held the following month, in which the GNOC was threatened with suspension if the government did not refrain from interference.[5] Despite an initial deadline for the reopening of Olympic House not being met,[6] the situation was eventually resolved without a suspension being issued.[7]

History[编辑]

Early years[编辑]

The Gambia was first eligible to compete in the Olympics at the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, but joined 28 countries in a boycott (most of which were also African). This boycott was to protest the IOC's decision to allow New Zealand英语New Zealand at the Olympics to compete at the games, despite its rugby union team breaking英语1976 New Zealand rugby union tour of South Africa the international sporting boycott of South Africa英语Sporting boycott of South Africa during the apartheid era earlier in the year.[8] The Gambia was also invited to the 1980 Summer Games in Moscow, but declined the invitation and joined the American-led boycott.[9] The country finally made its debut at the 1984 Summer Games in Los Angeles, sending ten athletes英语The Gambia at the 1984 Summer Olympics (six men and four women) who all competed in running英语Athletics at the 1984 Summer Olympics.[10] Amie N'Dow was the only Gambian to progress past the first heats, reaching the quarter-finals of the 女子200公尺英语Athletics at the 1984 Summer Olympics – Women's 200 metres.[11] At the 1988 Summer Games in Seoul, the Gambia sent six athletes – three athletes (two men and one woman) and three wrestlers (all male).[12] Flagbearer Dawda Jallow made the quarter-finals of the 男子400公尺英语Athletics at the 1988 Summer Olympics – Men's 400 metres.[13]

1990s[编辑]

Jaysuma Saidy Ndure英语Jaysuma Saidy Ndure (pictured in 2011) ran for the Gambia at the 2004 Summer Games in Athens, but later switched nationalities and competed for Norway in 2008 and 2012.

At the 1992 Summer Olympics, the Gambian delegation (consisting of five athletes) was all-male for the first and only time.[14] It again consisted entirely of runners, four of whom ran the 男子4 × 100 metres relay英语Athletics at the 1992 Summer Olympics – Men's 4 × 100 metres relay.[15] Bangladesh and San Marino were the only countries to record slower times in the event.[16] The 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta saw the Gambian delegation increase to nine athletes, although the only woman was Adama Njie英语Adama Njie.[17] Ousman Sallah (a long jumper) was the only non-runner,[18] while Dawda Jallow was flag-bearer for a third consecutive occasion, and became the only Gambian to compete in four games.[13]

2000s[编辑]

For the 2000 Summer Games in Sydney, the Gambia sent just two athletes (Adama Njie and Pa Mamadou Gai英语Pa Mamadou Gai), with Njie becoming the country's first female flag-bearer.[19] There was no increase in the size of the delegation for the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, with Njie returning for a third games and being joined by Jaysuma Saidy Ndure英语Jaysuma Saidy Ndure, who was made the flag-bearer.[20] Ndure, aged 20, reached the quarter-finals of both the 100公尺英语Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's 100 metres and the 200公尺英语Athletics at the 2004 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metres, but later transferred nationalities and competed for Norway.[21] The 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing saw the Gambia send three athletes (two men and one woman), including the country's first Olympic boxer, Badou Jack英语Badou Jack, who was made the flag-bearer. He lost to India's Vijender Singh英语Vijender Singh in the opening round, while neither of the other two athletes (runners Suwaibou Sanneh英语Suwaibou Sanneh and Fatou Tiyana英语Fatou Tiyana made it past their first heats.[22]

Adama Jammeh and Gina Bass英语Gina Bass (the flag-bearer and only woman on the team) ran in the respective 200 metres events, while Faye Njie英语Faye Njie and Pap Jonga英语Pap Jonga became the first Gambians to compete in Olympic judo and Olympic swimming, respectively.[26]
