Summer Games

Bhutan competed at the 2012 Summer Olympic Games in London, United Kingdom from 27 July – 12 August 2012. Two athletes competed in the archery and shooting events. Bhutan had been given wild cards for both events, to ensure that all 204 National Olympic Committees could take part even if no athletes had qualified.
