Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Belize competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This nation marked its twelfth appearance at the Olympic Games, although it had previously appeared in two early editions under the name "British Honduras" (1968 in Mexico City, and 1972 in Munich).

Three athletes were selected to the team, competing only in athletics and judo.[2] Belize Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association appointed 200 m sprinter Brandon Jones to carry the nation's flag in the opening ceremony.[1] Belize, however, has yet to win its first Olympic medal.
