Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Guyana competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's 16th appearance at the Olympics as an independent nation, although it had previously competed in five other games as British Guiana.

The Guyana Olympic Association sent a total of six athletes to the Games, four men and two women, to compete in athletics, judo and swimming.

Background

[edit]

British Guiana was first represented at the 1948 Summer Olympics in London, England, United Kingdom and made five consecutive appearances before Guyanese independence. As an independent country, Guyana made its Olympic debut at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Mexico and has competed at every Summer Olympics since. The 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, United Kingdom marked Guyana's 16th appearance at the Summer Olympics. Prior to 2012, Guyana had only won one previous medal – a bronze at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, Soviet Union.[2]
