Sudan competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's eleventh appearance at the Summer Olympics.
The Sudan Olympic Committee selected a squad of six athletes, four men and two women, to compete in athletics, swimming, and judo, matching the nation's roster size with London 2012. All of the athletes made their Olympic debut in Rio de Janeiro, except for middle-distance runner Amina Bakhit (women's 800 m), the lone returning Olympian. Meanwhile, steeplechaser Abdalla Targan led the Sudanese delegation as the nation's team captain and flag bearer in the opening ceremony.[1]
Sudan, however, left Rio de Janeiro without receiving a single Olympic medal, failing to replicate its performance from the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where Ismail Ahmed Ismail earned a silver in the men's 800 metres, which marked the last time the country had won a medal at the Summer Olympics.
