Turkey, after the Ottoman Empire, first participated at the Olympic Games in 1908 and has sent athletes to compete in most editions of the Summer Olympic Games since then, except the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp because of the sanction against the Central Powers including the Ottoman Empire, the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles at the period of worldwide Great Depression, and the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of its support for the United States-led boycott. Turkey has also participated in most Winter Olympic Games since their first appearance in 1936. Turkish athletes have won a total of 111 medals, divided into 41 golds, 29 silvers and 41 bronzes. Turkey won the most medals in wrestling. The National Olympic Committee for Turkey, Turkish National Olympic Committee was created in 1908 and recognized in 1911.
