Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Liberia competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's eleventh appearance at the Olympics since its debut in 1956.
The team comprised four Liberians: three athletes, and for the first time, one judoka. Among these athletes, American-born decathlete Jangy Addy was the only one to compete at his second consecutive Olympics. Sprinter Phobay Kutu-Akoi, a psychology graduate from St. John's University in New York, was the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.[2] Liberia, however, was unable to win its first Olympic medal.
