| Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Cuba competed at the2012 Summer Olympics in London, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's nineteenth appearance in the Olympics. With baseball's removal from the Olympic program and the absence of the nation's volleyball team for the first time, theCuban Olympic Committee sent the nation's smallest delegation to the Games since1964. A total of 111 athletes, 66 men and 45 women, competed in 13 sports. There was only a single competitor in archery and table tennis.
The Cuban team featured two defending Olympic champions: sprint hurdlerDayron Robles and Greco-Roman wrestlerMijaín López, who reprised his role as the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony. Only Lopez managed to successfully defend his Olympic title, in the men's super heavyweight division. Robles, on the other hand, missed out on the medal standings after he was disqualified in the finals.[2] Skeet shooterGuillermo Torres, the oldest athlete of the team at age 53, became the first Cuban athlete to compete in seven Olympic Games since1980. Other notable Cuban athletes included decathlon bronze medalistLeonel Suárez, swimmer and Pan-American games medalistHanser García, and four-time Olympic diverJosé Guerra.
Cuba left London with a total of 14 medals (5 gold, 3 silver, and 6 bronze), its lowest medal tally since the1976. Four of these medals were awarded to the athletes in boxing, three in judo, and two each in track and field and in wrestling. Among the nation's medalists were heavyweight judokaIdalys Ortiz, who previously won the bronze in Beijing, flyweight boxerRobeisy Ramírez, the youngest athlete of the team at age 18, and pistol shooterLeuris Pupo, who won Cuba's first ever gold medal in his sporting discipline.
In May 2013,Yarelys Barrios was awarded the bronze in the women's discus throw when Russia'sDarya Pishchalnikova tested positive foroxandrolone and was thereby stripped of her medal. As a result, Cuba's medal total increased to 15.[3]
