Liberia competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's twelfth appearance at the Olympics since its debut in 1956, except for four occasions. Liberia failed to register any athletes at both the 1968 and 1992 Summer Olympics, joined the rest of the African nations to boycott the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, and joined the United States-led boycott of the 1980 Summer Olympics, withdrawing after the opening ceremony.
The Liberian team featured two track and field athletes at the Games: sprinters Mariam Kromah and Emmanuel Matadi, who was selected to carry the nation's flag in the opening ceremony.[1][2] Liberia, however, has yet to win its first Olympic medal, as neither of the athletes passed the first round of their respective sporting events.
