Description:
Bulgaria
first participated at the
Olympic Games
at the inaugural 1896 Games, with a single gymnast. However, since
Charles Champaud
was a Swiss national living in
Sofia
, some sources credit his appearance to
Switzerland
instead.
The
Bulgarian Olympic Committee
was created in 1923 and first sent a team to the
Summer Olympic Games
in 1924. The nation has participated in every Summer Games since then, except for 1932 (during the
Great Depression
), 1948 (after
World War II
), and 1984, when they participated in the
Soviet-led boycott of the 1984 Summer Olympics
. Bulgaria first participated in the
Winter Olympic Games
in 1936, and has attended every Winter Games since then.
Bulgarian athletes have won a total of 218 medals, with
wrestling
and
weightlifting
as the top medal-producing sports.
