Kazakhstan competed at the2016 Summer Olympics inRio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. It was the nation's sixth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics in the post-Soviet era. TheNational Olympic Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan fielded a roster of 104 athletes, 55 men and 49 women, to compete across seventeen different sports at these Games, the smallest Summer Olympic team since the nation's debut inAtlanta 1996.[2] Moreover, Kazakhstan did not send teams in any of the team sports for the first time in twenty years. Track and field accounted for the largest number of athletes on the Kazakh squad, with 25 entries. There was a single competitor each in slalom canoeing, track cycling, fencing, and table tennis (for the first time after an eight-year absence).
Four of the nation's Olympic medalists fromLondon 2012 returned, defending triple jump championOlga Rypakova, Russian-born wrestling veteranGuzel Manyurova, and boxersAdilbek Niyazymbetov (light heavyweight) andIvan Dychko (super heavyweight). Triple jumper and 2006 Asian Games runner-upRoman Valiyev was the most experience Kazakh athlete, participating in his fourth Games. Along with Rypakova and Manyurova, six more athletes also made their third Olympic appearance, including boxing quarterfinalistBirzhan Zhakypov in the men's light flyweight division, and sprint kayakerNatalya Sergeyeva (aged 40), the oldest athlete of the roster. Heavyweight taekwondo fighterRuslan Zhaparov was nominated by the committee to carry the Kazakh flag at the opening ceremony.[1][3]
Kazakhstan returned home from Rio de Janeiro with 18 medals (three golds, five silver, and ten bronze), marking its most successful outcome in Summer Olympic history.[4] As expected, most of the medals were distributed to the Kazakh athletes in both boxing and weightlifting, including a gold each from Youth OlympianNijat Rahimov (men's 77 kg) and welterweight boxerDaniyar Yeleussinov.[5][6] The remaining gold medal, however, went to swimmerDmitriy Balandin, who surprisingly outlasted the favorites from the outside in themen's 200 m breaststroke to hand the Kazakhs their historic first Olympic swimming title.[7]
Apart from the winners, other medalists also included fellow boxers Niyazymbetov and Dychko, who managed to repeat their London 2012 feats in their respective weight divisions; Rypakova, who scored another medal with a bronze in the women's triple jump, bowing out of her title defense to Colombia'sCaterine Ibargüen; Manyurova, who wrestled her way towards a runner-up finish in thewomen's 75 kg, adding a silver to her career hardware of three medals; and weightlifterDenis Ulanov, who received the bronze in themen's 85 kg, following the disqualification of Romania'sGabriel Sîncrăian over a doping offense.[4][8]
