Sporting event delegation
Tajikistan competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's fifth consecutive appearance at the Olympics. The National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Tajikistan sent the nation's largest delegation to the Games. A total of 16 athletes, 13 men and 3 women, competed in 7 sports. Six of these athletes had competed in Beijing, including judoka Rasul Boqiev and freestyle wrestler Yusup Abdusalomov, who both won Tajikistan's first ever Olympic medals.
Tajikistan left London with only a single medal, following its successful Olympics in Beijing. Boxer Mavzuna Chorieva, who won the bronze in women's lightweight division, set a historic Olympic record, as the nation's first female medalist in history, and first female flag bearer at the opening ceremony.
