Kenya participated in the Winter Olympic Games in 1998, 2002, 2006 and 2018.

Kenyan athletes have won 124 medals in total, all from boxing and track and field events, making them the most successful African committee at the Olympics.

[1] The number of Kenyan women winning Olympic medals has risen dramatically, from their first in 1996 to more than half the Kenyan medals in 2016 (seven).

Increasingly, Kenya-born athletes are immigrating to compete in the Olympics for other countries, most notably Bahrain.

In the 2016 Olympics, there were ~20 such athletes, including multiple medal winners.
