Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Zaire competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States. The 1996 games marked the country's last appearance under the name Zaire; the following year, president Mobutu Sese Seko was deposed in the First Congo War and the nation reverted to its previous name, the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
