Singapore competed in the Summer Olympic Games for the first time at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, England, as a British Crown Colony. The United Kingdom, the host of the 1948 Olympics, needed more participating nations, subsequently sending invitations to every colony except Singapore. This caused Singapore to establish the Singapore National Olympic Council on May 27, 1947. A delegation of only one man, Lloyd Valberg was sent to participate in the Men's high jump. Valberg gained 14th place, tied with Hércules Azcune of Uruguay.
