Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Since the nation's official debut in 1912, Icelandic athletes have appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, except for four occasions as a result of the worldwide Great Depression (1920 to 1932). Countries will march in the order of traditional Japanese characters using Katakana script. Iceland will be third in the parade of nations following Greece and Refugee Olympic Team, which has traditionally led the march since 1928.
