Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Nigeria competed at the2012 Summer Olympics inLondon, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's fifteenth appearance at the Olympics. Nigeria missed the1976 Summer Olympics inMontreal because of the African boycott. The Nigerian Olympic Committee sent the nation's smallest delegation to the Games since1984. A total of 53 athletes, 30 men and 23 women, competed in 8 sports.Men's basketball was the only team-based sport in which Nigeria was represented at these Olympic Games. Among the eight sports played by the athletes, Nigeria marked its official Olympic debut in slalom canoeing.

The Nigerian team featured two Olympic medalists from Beijing: taekwondo jinChika Chukwumerije, who served as the nation's team captain,[1] and long jumperBlessing Okagbare. Table tennis playerSegun Toriola, the oldest member of the team, at age 37, became the first Nigerian athlete to compete in six Olympic games. Toriola's fellow table tennis playerOlufunke Oshonaike made her fifth Olympic appearance, making her the nation's oldest and most experienced female athlete. Freestyle wrestlerSinivie Boltic was Nigeria's first male flag bearer at the opening ceremony since2000.

Nigeria failed to win a single medal for the first time in Olympic history since1988, after achieving poor athletic performance at these Games. Triple jumperTosin Oke, the women's sprint relay team (led by Blessing Okagbare), and weightlifterFelix Ekpo qualified successfully for the final rounds of their respective events, but missed out of the medal standings. Following the athletes' lackluster performance, PresidentGoodluck Jonathan "called for a complete overhaul of Nigerian sports administration". A few weeks after the Olympics, theNigerian athletes, however, were able to recapture the nation's sporting success at the Paralympics, as they had earned a total of twelve medals, including six golds.[2]
