Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Mauritania competed at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris which took place from 26 July to 11 August 2024. It was the nation's eleventh appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in 1984. The delegation consisted of two athletes: sprinter Salam Bouha Ahamdy, who competed in the women's 100 m event, and swimmer Camil Doua, who competed in the men's 50 m freestyle.

Ahamdy and Doua led the Mauritanian squad as the flagbearers in the opening ceremony, and the flag was held by a volunteer in the closing ceremony. Ahamdy ran a time of 13.71 and did not advance past her heat. Doua swam a time of 26.02 in his event, which was also not fast enough to advance to the next round; he finished 54th overall. Thus, Mauritania had yet to win an Olympic medal.
