Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Tunisia competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. Since the nation's official debut in 1960, Tunisian athletes had appeared in every edition of the Summer Olympic Games, but did not attend the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of the nation's partial support for the US-led boycott.

The Tunisian Olympic Committee (French: Comité National Olympique Tunisien, CNOT) fielded a team of 61 athletes, 40 men and 21 women, to compete in 17 sports at the Games.[2] It was the nation's second-largest delegation sent to the Olympics, just relatively smaller by 22 athletes than in London four years earlier. Men's handball was the only team-based sport in which Tunisia had representatives at the Games. Among the sports represented by the nation's athletes, Tunisia marked its Olympic debut in beach volleyball, as well as its return to table tennis after twelve years.

The Tunisian roster was highlighted by two accomplished Olympians from London 2012: long-distance swimmer Oussama Mellouli and steeplechaser Habiba Ghribi. At 32 years old and headed to his fifth Games, Mellouli emerged himself as Tunisia's most successful Olympian of all time, with three medals (two golds and one bronze), and the first swimmer to dominate at both pool and open water in Olympic history. Because of his successes, Mellouli was selected to carry the nation's flag at the opening ceremony.[1][3] Meanwhile, Ghribi, a three-time Olympian, established a historic milestone for her country in London, when she became the first Tunisian female athlete to earn an Olympic medal.

Apart from Mellouli and Ghribi, 18 Tunisian athletes previously competed in London, including fencing sisters Azza and Sarra Besbes, tennis players Malek Jaziri and Ons Jabeur, three-time Olympic judoka Nihal Chikhrouhou (women's +78 kg) and Houda Miled (women's 70 kg), race walker Hassanine Sebei, and freestyle wrestler Marwa Amri.

Tunisia left Rio de Janeiro with only three bronze medals, which were each awarded to the athletes in fencing, taekwondo, and wrestling for the first time, tying the nation's record with London for the most number of medals attained at a single edition. Among the medalists were Amri (women's 58 kg), three-time Olympic fencer Inès Boubakri (women's foil), and taekwondo fighter Oussama Oueslati (men's 80 kg).[4]
