The [[Pakistan Olympic Association]] was created in 1948, while the [[Pakistan Sports Board]] was established in 1962.

[[Pakistan]] first participated in the [[Olympic Games]] in [[1948 Summer Olympics|1948 in London]], and has sent athletes to compete in every [[Summer Olympic Games]] since then, except for the [[1980 Summer Olympics boycott|American-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics]] in the [[Soviet Union]]. It has participated in every [[Winter Olympic Games]] since the [[2010 Winter Olympics|Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics]], when alpine skier [[Muhammad Abbas (skier)|Mohammad Abbas]] became the first Pakistani athlete to qualify for a Winter Olympics event.

Pakistani athletes have won a total of 11 medals, all in the Summer Olympics, including 4 gold medals. [[Pakistan men's national field hockey team|Pakistan's men's field hockey team]] won eight medals in the nine games it participated in between 1956 and 1992. This included a run of 5 consecutive finals between 1956 and 1972, where the Hockey team won 2 gold and 3 silver medals in quick succession. 

[[Arshad Nadeem]] is the only Pakistani athlete to have won an individual Olympic gold medal and create an [[List of Olympic records in athletics|Olympic record]].<ref name="Arshad Nadeem history">{{cite news|url= https://www.theguardian.com/sport/article/2024/aug/08/arshad-nadeem-neeraj-chopra-pakistan-india-javelin-throw-athletics-2024-paris-olympic-games|title=Arshad Nadeem throws his way into history for Pakistan with javelin gold|date=8 August 2024|work=[[The Guardian]]|access-date=9 August 2024}}</ref>

== History ==

=== Before independence (pre–1947) ===

In the Olympic Games up until 1936, athletes from modern-day Pakistan participated as part of the [[India at the Olympics|team from British India]]. Several gold medalists for India in field hockey were born in what became Pakistan, including [[Muhammad Aslam (field hockey)|Muhammad Aslam]] ([[Field hockey at the 1932 Summer Olympics|1932]]), [[Lal Shah Bokhari]] (1932), [[Sayed Jaffar (field hockey)|Sayed Jaffar]] (1932 and [[Field hockey at the 1936 Summer Olympics|1936]]), [[Ali Dara]] (1936) and [[Peter Paul Fernandes]] (1936). Bokhari was also selected as India's flagbearer in the 1932 opening ceremony. All of these men opted to play for Pakistan post independence in 1947. Others made the switch after the 1948 Olympics, such as [[Latif-ur Rehman]] and [[Akhtar Hussain (field hockey)|Akhtar Hussain]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://olympics.com/en/news/how-many-pakistan-olympic-medals-won|title=Pakistan's Olympic medals: Hockey team's domination is clear}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.indiatimes.com/sports/how-fate-and-partition-made-ali-dara-represent-two-countries-in-back-to-back-olympics-377268.html|title=How Fate And Partition Made Ali Dara Represent Two Countries In Back To Back Olympics}}</ref>

=== Early years (1948 – 1952) ===

Pakistan first participated in the [[1948 Summer Olympics]] and sent a contingent of 39 athletes that took part across seven different sports. The stand out performers were the [[Pakistan men's national field hockey team|men's hockey team]] who topped their group by beating [[Belgium men's national field hockey team|Belgium]], [[Denmark men's national field hockey team|Denmark]], [[France men's national field hockey team|France]] and [[Netherlands men's national field hockey team|Netherlands]] but lost their semi-final match to [[Great Britain men's national field hockey team|Great Britain]] 0–2. Pakistan then faced the Netherlands during the bronze medal match. Initially Pakistan drew with the Netherlands 1–1, but during  the replay lost 1–4 and had to settle for a 4th placed finish.<ref name="1948 Olympics">{{cite web |title=Hockey brings some cheer as Pakistan appear in their first Olympiad |url=http://jang.com.pk/thenews/may2008-weekly/nos-11-05-2008/spo.htm#1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121014055613/http://jang.com.pk/thenews/may2008-weekly/nos-11-05-2008/spo.htm#1 |archive-date=2012-10-14 |access-date=2012-07-30 |publisher=Jang.com.pk}}</ref>

During the [[1952 Summer Olympics]], there was much of the same result, with the hockey team reaching the semis where they lost to Netherlands 0–1 and then went on to lose the bronze medal match to Great Britain 1–2. Yet again finishing at the 4th place. Other highlights during the games included the [[Athletics at the 1952 Summer Olympics – Men's 4 × 100 metres relay|Men's 4 x 100 metres relay]] team which also reached the semi-finals.<ref name="1952 Olympics">{{cite web |title=A hockey medal eludes Pakistan again as they finish fourth |url=http://jang.com.pk/thenews/may2008-weekly/nos-18-05-2008/spo.htm#1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081120100720/http://jang.com.pk/thenews/may2008-weekly/nos-18-05-2008/spo.htm#1 |archive-date=2008-11-20 |access-date=2012-07-30 |publisher=Jang.com.pk}}</ref>

=== Men's Hockey Team's Golden Era (1956 – 1984) ===

==== Melbourne 1956: Hockey team wins Silver medal ====

Pakistan men's hockey team's '[[Golden Age|Golden Era]]' began during 1956, when they cruised through to the finals by beating [[Great Britain men's national field hockey team|Great Britain]] 3–2 in the semi-final, to set up a clash with arch-rivals [[India men's national field hockey team|India]]. Pakistan lost the final to India 0–1, but in doing so, secured their first ever Olympic medal, a silver medal. Elsewhere [[Abdul Khaliq (athlete)|Abdul Khaliq]] reached the semi-finals of both the [[Athletics at the 1956 Summer Olympics – Men's 100 metres|Men's 100 metres]] and [[Athletics at the 1956 Summer Olympics – Men's 200 metres|Men's 200 metres]]. As did [[Ghulam Raziq]] who reached the semi-final of the [[Athletics at the 1956 Summer Olympics – Men's 110 metres hurdles|Men's 110 metres hurdles]] and Pakistan also reached the semi-finals of the [[Athletics at the 1956 Summer Olympics – Men's 4 × 100 metres relay|Men's 4 x 100 metres relay]].<ref name="1956 Olympics">{{cite web |title=Pakistan finally take an Olympic Games medal while Khaliq burns the track |url=http://jang.com.pk/thenews/may2008-weekly/nos-25-05-2008/spo.htm#1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080930010558/http://jang.com.pk/thenews/may2008-weekly/nos-25-05-2008/spo.htm |archive-date=2008-09-30 |access-date=2012-07-30 |publisher=Jang.com.pk}}</ref>

During the [[1960 Summer Olympics]], the hockey team topped their group by comprehensively beating [[Australia men's national field hockey team|Australia]] 3–0, [[Poland men's national field hockey team|Poland]] 8–0 and [[Japan men's national field hockey team|Japan]] 10–0. They then beat [[Germany men's national field hockey team|Germany]] 2–1 in the quarter-finals and [[Spain men's national field hockey team|Spain]] 1–0 in the semi-final to set up another showdown with India. This time Pakistan came out as the successors and beat India 1–0 in the final to clinch their first ever Olympic gold medal and in the process halted India's run of 6 consecutive gold medals.<ref name="1960 Olympics">{{cite web |title=Pakistan hockey strikes gold as wrestler Bashir picks up a bronze medal |url=http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jun2008-weekly/nos-01-06-2008/spo.htm#1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160309180835/http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jun2008-weekly/nos-01-06-2008/spo.htm#1 |archive-date=2016-03-09 |access-date=2012-07-30 |publisher=Jang.com.pk}}</ref>

==== Tokyo 1964: Hockey team wins a Silver medal ====

At the [[1964 Summer Olympics]] the Hockey team continued their good form from the previous Olympics and marched into the semi-finals where they decisively beat Spain 3–0. However, the Hockey team then came undone against India in the final and couldn't replicate the success of four years ago, so they had to settle for a silver medal after losing to India 0–1.<ref name="1964 Olympics">{{cite web |title=Pakistan slip a notch at Tokyo and settle for the hockey silver medal |url=http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jun2008-weekly/nos-08-06-2008/spo.htm#1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100420075451/http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jun2008-weekly/nos-08-06-2008/spo.htm#1 |archive-date=2010-04-20 |access-date=2012-07-30 |publisher=Jang.com.pk}}</ref>

==== Mexico City 1968: Hockey team wins Gold yet again ====
During the [[1968 Summer Olympics]], Pakistan chose to reduce their contingent to only 20 players and focussed only on the sports of Men's Field Hockey and Men's wrestling, as those were the sports where Pakistan had previously achieved success. The Hockey team remained undefeated throughout the group stage to reach the semi-final where they beat Germany 1–0 after extra time, before beating Australia 2–1 in the final to win the gold medal for a second time.<ref name="1968 Olympics">{{cite web |date=1991-08-30 |title=Pakistan back on top of the world with a hockey gold at Mexico |url=http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jun2008-weekly/nos-15-06-2008/spo.htm#1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121023152528/http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jun2008-weekly/nos-15-06-2008/spo.htm#1 |archive-date=2012-10-23 |access-date=2012-07-30 |publisher=Jang.com.pk}}</ref>

==== Munich 1972: Hockey team settles for a Silver medal ====

At the [[1972 Summer Olympics]], Pakistan's hockey team played fairly well to reach the semis where they beat India 2–0 before facing West Germany in the finals. The final was marked with controversy with Pakistan being unhappy with the umpiring throughout the match. Pakistan protested against a goal being disallowed, along with a controversial decision to award West Germany a penalty corner through which they scored the only goal of the match and went on to win the gold medal. All eleven Pakistani players who played in the final were later suspended for disorderly and unsporting behaviour during the medal ceremony. The [[Pakistan Hockey Federation]] was suspended for 4 years, while the manager of the hockey team and the players involved in the incidents after the final were handed life-time bans. The bans and suspensions were only revoked in 1974, when the then [[Prime Minister of Pakistan]], [[Zulfikar Ali Bhutto]], personally apologised for the incidents.<ref name="1972 Olympics">{{cite web |date=1966-04-26 |title=Conduct unbecoming |url=http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jun2008-weekly/nos-22-06-2008/spo.htm#1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110504025215/http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jun2008-weekly/nos-22-06-2008/spo.htm#1 |archive-date=2011-05-04 |access-date=2012-07-30 |publisher=Jang.com.pk}}</ref>

==== Montreal 1976: Hockey team has to settle for a Bronze medal, introduction of AstroTurfs ====

For the first time since 1952, Pakistan's hockey team failed to reach the Olympic final at the [[1976 Summer Olympics]]. The team topped their group but lost to [[Australia men's national field hockey team|Australia]] 1–2 in the semi-final and only won the bronze medal after defeating the [[Netherlands men's national field hockey team|Netherlands]] 3–2 in the bronze medal match.

==== Los Angeles 1984: Hockey team is back to winnings ways, wins a Gold medal ====

After boycotting the [[1980 Summer Olympics]] held in Moscow as a protest against the [[Soviet invasion of Afghanistan]], Pakistan returned to the [[1984 Summer Olympics]] in Los Angeles and picked up from where they had left off. The hockey team ranked 2nd in their group behind Great Britain and made it to the semi-finals where they beat Australia 1–0, before beating West Germany 2–1, to clinch their 3rd Olympic title.<ref name="1984 Olympics">{{cite web |title=Hasan Sardar weaves his way through to bring Pakistan hockey gold |url=http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jul2008-weekly/nos-06-07-2008/spo.htm#1 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120913001927/http://jang.com.pk/thenews/jul2008-weekly/nos-06-07-2008/spo.htm#1 |archive-date=2012-09-13 |access-date=2012-07-30 |publisher=Jang.com.pk}}</ref>

=== 3rd place finishes for Hussain Shah and Men's Hockey team (1988 – 1992) ===

==== Seoul 1988: Hussain Shah wins Bronze in Boxing ====

The hockey team had its worst performance yet at the [[1988 Summer Olympics]] as they failed to qualify for the semi-finals and finished fifth after beating India 2–1. However, [[Hussain Shah]] saved the country from embarrassment.<ref>{{Cite web|title=1988 Summer Olympics, Middleweight (≤75 kilograms), Men|url=https://www.olympedia.org/results/25972|access-date=2022-02-11|website=www.olympedia.org/|language=en}}</ref>

Hussain Shah received a bye in the round of 64, before cruising through the rounds to reach the semi-final, guaranteeing himself a bronze medal.

==== Barcelona 1992: Hockey team wins Bronze medal ====

After the debacle in Seoul 1988, the hockey team went about business as usual and topped their group by remaining unbeaten in the [[1992 Summer Olympics]].
