Austria first competed in swimming at the inaugural 1896 Games, with two swimmers competing in the three international events winning a gold and a silver medal. That gold remains (as of the 2016 Games) the only swimming victory for Austria, though the nation has added 5 silvers and 5 bronzes since.
Austria first competed in cycling in 1896, with Adolf Schmal winning a gold medal and two bronzes (retroactively, as the award system was different then). Austria didn't win another medal in cycling until 2021, when Anna Kiesenhofer won gold in the women's road race.
Austria had two riders at the first equestrian events in 1900, competing in all five events and winning no medals. Hugo Simon finished fourth in individual jumping twiceโ24 years apart, in 1972 and 1996.
Austria had a single sabreur at the 1896 Games, finishing fourth. The nation's first medals in the sport came in 1900, with bronze medals in the men's sabre and men's masters sabre.
