Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Costa Rica competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. The nation bagged two bronze medals at the 2000 Games.

Both medals were won in swimming by Claudia Poll. These medals doubled Costa Rica's overall Olympic medal haul to four. All four medals had been claimed in swimming. Previously, Claudia had won Costa Rica's first ever Olympic gold medal at the 1996 Games.[1] Eight years earlier, Claudia's sister Silvia Poll won the silver medal in Women's 200 meter freestyle at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea.[2] This was the first Olympic medal ever for a Costa Rican athlete.
