Reaching the Olympic Games means having achieved a great goal, which only a few people in history have been able to achieve! In the following space we try to present each of them in the best possible way in order of participation. For historical reasons we only highlight a few in the previous sections, however we do not want to take away anyone's merit, since we only want to introduce here and have the complete list, preferably with a photograph and their sport, as well as the Olympic Games in which they participated. We can obtain complete information about each Oly through a link that will take us to their interview, their personal data and their biography.

Un ejemplo del talento de los atletas panameños en este prestigioso deporte olímpico

Solamente un equipo ha logrado participar en unos Juegos Olímpicos
El baloncesto panameño calificó a México 1968.
Después de obtener la medalla de bronce en los Panamericanos de Winnipeg 1967 este gran equipo se convierte en el mejor de la historia de Panamá, ya que nunca más otro deporte de conjunto ha calificado a la contienda olímpica.
Tampoco se ha logrado obtener una medalla panamericana
