| Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Colombia competed at the2016 Summer Olympics inRio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's nineteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics. TheColombian Olympic Committee (Spanish:Comité Olímpico Colombiano) sent the nation's largest ever delegation to the Games, with 147 athletes, 74 men and 73 women, competing across 23 sports.[2]
Colombia returned home from Rio de Janeiro with a total of eight medals (three gold, two silver, and three bronze), marking the nation's most successful outcome in Summer Olympic history based on the gold medal count.[3] Moreover, it matched the overall medal tally from the2012 Summer Olympics in London. Two of these medals were awarded to the Colombian team in BMX cycling, boxing, and weightlifting, and one each in athletics and judo.
The nation's most significant highlight of the Games came from BMX riderMariana Pajón, who successfully defended her title in the women's race and set a record as the first Colombian to receive two Olympic gold medals.[4] Apart from Pajón, triple jumperCaterine Ibargüen, and weightlifting veteranÓscar Figueroa also helped the Colombians bring home more golds from Rio de Janeiro than ever before, with Figueroa becoming the first male from his country to top the podium at his fourth and final Olympics.[citation needed]
BoxersYuberjen Martínez (men's light flyweight) andIngrit Valencia (women's flyweight) brought home medals in their signature sport, last achieved at the1988. Judoka and triple world titlistYuri Alvear joined Pajon and freestyle wrestlerJackeline Rentería as the only Colombian women to win two Olympic medals, with a silver medal in the women's 70 kg division.[3] The remaining medals went to BMX riderCarlos Ramírez in the men's race, and weightlifterLuis Javier Mosquera, who received the bronze in themen's 69 kg, following the disqualification of Kyrgyzstan'sIzzat Artykov over a doping offense.[5]

TheColombian Olympic Committee (Spanish:Comité Olímpico Colombiano) confirmed a team of 147 athletes, 74 men and 73 women, to compete across 23 sports at the Games.[2][6] It was the nation's largest ever delegation sent to the Olympics, breaking its previous record of 104 athletes set in London four years earlier.
Football (for both men and women) andwomen's rugby sevens were the only team-based sports in which Colombia qualified for the Games, with the men's football squad returning to the Olympic tournament for the first time in 24 years.[6][7] For individual-based sports, Colombia marked its Olympic debut in golf (new to the 2016 Games) and synchronized swimming.
Track and field accounted for the largest number of athletes on the Colombian team by an individual sport, with 34 entries. There was a single competitor each in golf, sailing, shooting, and table tennis.
Eight of the nation's Olympic medalists fromLondon 2012 returned, including defending championMariana Pajón in the women's BMX race, triple jumperCaterine Ibargüen, weightlifter and four-time OlympianÓscar Figueroa (men's 69 kg), judoka and triple world titleistYuri Alvear (women's 70 kg), BMX riderCarlos Oquendo, professional road cyclistRigoberto Urán, taekwondo fighterÓscar Muñoz (men's 58 kg), and freestyle wrestlerJackeline Rentería, who became the first Colombian woman in history to earn two Olympic medals. 50-year-old trap shooterDanilo Caro headlined the full roster of Colombian athletes by competing at his record fifth Olympics.[8] Along with Figueroa, three Colombian athletes also vied for their fourth consecutive appearance, including race walkerLuis Fernando López, backstroke swimmerOmar Pinzón, and weightlifterUbaldina Valoyes (women's 75 kg).
18-year-old relay track sprinterAnthony Zambrano was Colombia's youngest competitor, with show jumperRené Lopez rounding out the field as the oldest competitor (aged 52). Artistic gymnastJossimar Calvo was initially selected through a nationwide online text-message voting to carry the Colombian flag, but forced to decline the honor due to his competition schedule on the first day of the Games.[9] Instead, Alvear, who entered the Games with a bronze medal from London 2012 and three world titles, took over Calvo's spot at the last minute to lead the Colombian team at the opening ceremony.[10]
The following is the list of number of competitors participating in the Games. Note that reserves in fencing and football are not counted as athletes:
