Switzerland competed at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, France.

Martin and Schärer each won a silver medal—Switzerland's first medals in Olympic athletics.

The Swiss were perhaps the most successful nation not to win a medal; Blattmann took fifth in the individual time trial, the Swiss team took fourth in the team time trial, and Mermillod reached the semifinals of the sprint.

Ten fencers, seven men and three women, represented Switzerland in 1924.

Switzerland competed in the Olympic football tournament for the first (and, as of 2008, only) time in 1924.

Güttinger, the top all-around individual at seventh place, won two apparatus medals: the gold in the parallel bars and the bronze in the rope climbing.

Gutweninger had a pair as well, with silvers in the horizontal bar and the pommel horse.

All five of the Swiss boats won medals, including two golds and three bronzes.
