Congo is scheduled to compete at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, from August 5 to 21, 2016. This will be the nation's twelfth appearance at the Summer Olympics, since its debut in 1964. Congolese athletes did not attend the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, and the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal because of the African boycott.
Athletics
Congolese athletes have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event):[1][2]
- Men's shot put – 1 quota place (Frank Elemba)
Table tennis
Congo has entered three athletes into the table tennis competition at the Games. China-based players Wang Jianan and Han Xing secure places each in the men's and women's singles by virtue of a top four finish at the 2015 All-Africa Games.[3] They were eventually joined by three-time Olympian Suraju Saka, who finished in the top two at the African Qualification Tournament in Khartoum, Sudan.[4]
