Saint Kitts and Nevis first participated at the Olympic Games in 1996 and since then has sent athletes to compete in every Summer Olympic Games. St Kitts and Nevis has never competed at the Winter Olympic Games.
Saint Kitts and Nevis has never won a medal. They have only competed in athletics.
St. Kitts and Nevis Olympic Committee (IOC code: SKN) is the National Olympic Committee (NOC) representing Saint Kitts and Nevis. It is also the body responsible for Saint Kitts and Nevis' representation at the Commonwealth Games. The executive board consists of the president, secretary general, vice president, assistant secretary general, and four members. The president is Alphonso Bridgewater and the secretary general is Glenville Jeffers. The NOC was officially located at the Charles Wilkin Building from 1994 to 2005, when it moved to the Olympic House in Basseterre, St. Kitts.
The Saint Kitts and Nevis Olympic Association was founded with a constitution on May 27, 1986. Saint Kitts and Nevis' National Olympic Committee (NOC) was first officially recognized in 1993. The NOC and Commonwealth Games Association (CGA) both governed multiple sports prior to 1998. Since they both shared the same member organizations, the CGA merged with the NOC, making the NOC responsible for both the Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games. The constitution was revised on June 10, 2004; ratified November 30, 2006; and approved by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) June 1, 2007.
The NOC's affiliates are: St Kitts and Nevis Amateur Athletic Association (SKNAAA), St Kitts – Nevis Amateur Basketball Association (SKNABA), St Kitts and Nevis Amateur Boxing Association (SKNABA), St Kitts – Nevis Football Association (SKNFA), St Kitts and Nevis Table Tennis Association (SKNTTA), St Christopher and Nevis Taekwondo Federation (SCNTF), St Kitts Amateur Volleyball Association (SKAVA), and St Kitts Netball Association (SKNA).
The first year St. Kitts and Nevis participated in the Olympics, they sent ten athletes, the most the country has ever sent. Kim Collins and Diane Francis both advanced to the quarterfinals of their events, in the 100 m sprint and 400 m dash respectively. They were both eliminated in the quarterfinals and did not advance to the semifinals.
