Events
Olympics competed at five of the first six Olympic Games for the committee. Saint Kitts and Nevis participates in the Olympic Games in the Summer Olympics and have not competed at the Winter Games. Saint Kitts and Nevis entered the Olympic Games for the first time at the 1996 Summer Games in Atlanta, United States. The delegation featured one athlete in both the men's and women's 100-meter sprints and three relay teams. At the event, Collins was the first 40-year-old to run a 100 meters under 10 seconds, where he was the oldest sprinter at the Games. Collins advanced the furthest of any Saint Kitts and Nevis athlete, reaching the semi-finals of the event. He finished sixth in his heat with a time of 10.12 seconds and did not advance to the finals. Adams and Lawrence both reached the quarter-finals in the same event. Commonwealth Games Prior to 1998, the nation's participation in the Commonwealth Games and the Commonwealth Youth Games was organised by the Saint Kitts and Nevis Commonwealth Games Association. Since that time, the Olympic Committee has been in charge of participation. Saint Kitts and Nevis joined the Commonwealth Games Federation and first participated in the Commonwealth Games in 1978 (as part of Saint Christopher-Nevis-Anguilla) where they participated in both athletics (100 and 800 meters) and cycling (road and track). The committee has subsequently sent teams to compete in every Commonwealth Games since 1990. The nation has won just one medal at the Games, a gold for Kim Collins in the 100 meters at the 2002 Games. The country has participated in athletics, cycling and table tennis. ==Affiliates==
