Seychelles first participated at the Olympic Games in 1980, and has sent athletes to compete in most Summer Olympic Games since then, missing only the 1988 Games in support of North Korea. Although Seychelles has never competed in the Winter Olympic Games, its best performance at the Olympics came in 1992 when light heavyweight boxer Roland Raforme won two bouts to finish 5th out of 27 boxers in his class. In 1996, another boxer, Rival Cadeau (now Payet) finished 5th in the light middleweight class. In 2004, canoeist Tony Lespoir qualified for the semi-final of the K1 500 meters race after taking sixth place in the heat.
