At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Bruno Julie secured Mauritius' first ever Olympic medal by reaching the bantamweight boxing semifinals and earning the bronze medal.
The National Olympic Committee for Mauritius was founded in 1971 by Ram Ruhee, who remained its Secretary General until his death in 2008. It was officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee in 1972.Medals by sport
