Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Uruguay competed at the2016 Summer Olympics inRio de Janeiro,Brazil from 5 to 21 August 2016. Since the nation's official debut in1920, Uruguayan athletes have appeared in every edition of theSummer Olympic Games, with the exception of the1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, because of its partial support to theUnited States-led boycott.

TheUruguayan Olympic Committee (Spanish:Comité Olímpico Uruguayo, COU) confirmed a team of 17 athletes, 12 men and 5 women, to compete in eight sports at the Games.[2][3] It was the nation's largest delegation sent to the Olympics since1968, without any association to the team-based sports. There was only a single competitor in judo, rowing, tennis, weightlifting, and equestrian.

Four athletes on the Uruguayan roster previously competed atLondon 2012, with two of them headed to their fourth Games: hurdlerAndrés Silva and sailing legendAlejandro Foglia, who finished among the top eight in the Laser class before moving to Finn. Foglia was joined by his older sisterMariana, who sailed alongside her husbandPablo Defazio in the Nacra 17 category.[4] Other notable Uruguayan athletes included marathon twinsMartín andNicolás Cuestas, world no. 40 tennis playerPablo Cuevas, and 17-year-old Laser Radial sailorDolores Moreira, who was selected to carry the nation's flag at the opening ceremony.[1][5]

Uruguay, however, did not win any Olympic medals in Rio de Janeiro. The nation's last medal happened at the2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, where track cyclistMilton Wynants bagged a silver in the points race (currently replaced by Omnium). Unable to end the nation's 16-year podium drought, long jumperEmiliano Lasa delivered the most successful outcome for the Uruguayans at the Games, placing sixth in themen's long jump final.[6]
