Five Ecuadorian athletes had competed in Beijing, including weightlifter Alexandra Escobar, who was at her third Olympic Games in London. Argentina-born sprint kayaker César de Cesare became the nation's first male flag bearer at the opening ceremony since 1996. Ecuador also made its Olympic debut in women's triathlon.
