Basketball was first introduced as an Olympic sport at the 1936 Summer Games in Berlin, with just men’s teams competing. The United States won the inaugural tournament, beating Canada 19-8 in the gold medal game. Basketball was then dropped from the Summer Olympics for 50 years, making a return at the 1992 Barcelona Games.
Since 1992, both men’s and women’s basketball tournaments have been held at every Summer Olympics. The United States has won a medal in every Olympic basketball tournament since 1936, and has captured a record 15 gold medals overall. Other dominant nations include Soviet Union (5 gold medals), Brazil (3 gold medals), Yugoslavia (2 gold medals), and Argentina (2 gold medals).
