Spain at the 2000 Summer Olympics


Spain competed at the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australia. 321 competitors, 216 men and 105 women, took part in 165 events in 27 sports.
Sydney 2000 marked the first time the Spanish Olympic team competed in Australia as Spain and other European nations boycotted the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne due to the Soviet invasion of Hungary but Spain did take part in the Equestrian events at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Stockholm five months earlier due to Australian quarantine laws.
