Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Uganda competed at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States. Uganda sent a delegation of 26 competitors (24 men and 2 women) across 5 sports, but among all the 26 competitors Uganda didn't win any medal.[1] This marked a break in Uganda's Olympic medal streak, which had seen the country win medals in the three previous participating Summer Games (1968, 1972, and 1980).[2][3]
