The nation has never participated in the Winter Olympic Games. The National Olympic Committee for Samoa was created in 1983 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee that same year. Samoa was retroactively awarded its first medal at the 2008 Games in Beijing after originally finishing fourth in the women's +75 kg category in weightlifting, as the silver and bronze medallists were stripped of their medals in 2016 for doping.
