Athletes from Luxembourg have competed at 21 editions of the modern Summer Olympic Games. Luxembourg's National Olympic Committee, the Comité Olympique et Sportif Luxembourgeois, was founded in 1912 and sent it's first team to the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm.
Recently, it was also discovered that Michel Théato, competing for France at the 1900 Summer Olympics, was actually Luxembourgish. However, the gold medal Théato won in the marathon at the Paris Games is still credited to France by the IOC.
