Они бойкотировали летние Олимпийские игры 1976 года из-за участия Новой Зеландии и присоединились к бойкоту Олимпийских игр 1980 года в Москве, возглавляемому Соединенными Штатами. Таким образом, они не дебютировали на Олимпийских играх до летних Олимпийских игр 1984 года и с тех пор участвовали в каждой летней Олимпиаде. Сидней был их пятым подряд выступлением на летних Играх. Летние Олимпийские игры 2000 года проходили с 15 сентября по 1 октября 2000 года; в общей сложности 10 651 спортсмен представляли 199 национальных олимпийских комитетов. Делегация Гамбии состояла из двух легкоатлетов: Па Мамаду Гай и Адамы Нжие.

Она завершила забег за 2 минуты и 7,90 секунды, что позволило ей занять шестое место из семи участниц в своем зачете, и она была выбыта из дальнейшей борьбы. Золотую медаль в итоге завоевала Мария Мутола из Мозамбика за 1 минуту и 56,15 секунды; серебряную медаль завоевала Стефани Граф из Австрии, а бронзовую – Келли Холмс из Великобритании.
