History

[edit]

Aleko Mulos was the first ever Turkish man to compete at the Olympic Games, doing so in 1908.[1] Turkey has yet to field a team at the Olympics but had individual athletes compete at the 2016 and 2020 Olympic Games.[2] At the 2020 Olympic Games Ferhat Arıcan became the first Turkish male gymnast to win an Olympic medal, earning bronze on the parallel bars.[3]

At the 2023 World Championships the Turkish team finished 10th in qualifications. In doing so, they qualified a full team for the first time to compete at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.[4]
