Bulgaria competed at the 1896 Summer Olympics, the first Olympics, in Athens, Greece, from 6 to 15 April 1896. The delegation consisted of one athlete competing in two sports and four events – athlete Charles Champaud, a Swiss high school gymnastics teacher living in Sofia. He is sometimes counted as a competitor for Switzerland. There were meant to be five competitors competing for the nation, but Champaud was the only one to arrive on time and the only one to compete. Bulgaria did not win any medals during the Athens Olympics.
