Afghanistan sent a delegation to compete at the 1936 Summer Olympics Berlin, Germany, from 1 to 16 August 1936. This was the nation's first appearance at a Summer Olympic Games and sent 19 competitors (but names of only 16 are known).[1] Most of these competed in the field hockey where they finished runner up in their group and not advancing to the knockout stage. The other two athletes competed in the sport of athletics with Mohammad Khan competing in the 100 meters sprint and long jump, failing to advance to the next stage of either of those events. Abdul Rahim competed in the shot put with him not advancing to the final.
