Turkey, officially named Türkiye by the IOC, competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris from 26 July to 11 August 2024. Since the nation's official debut in 1908, Turkish athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except for three occasions: Antwerp 1920, because of the sanction against the Central Powers including the Ottoman Empire, Los Angeles 1932 at the period of worldwide Great Depression, and Moscow 1980, as part of the United States-led boycott. Notably, the 2024 Summer Olympics marked the first time since 1984 that Turkey did not secure at least one gold medal.

Silver medalist Yusuf Dikeç became an internet phenomenon, gaining widespread fame for his "seeming nonchalance" and being underdressed compared to other athletes. [1]
