Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Saint Kitts and Nevis competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, from August 5 to 21, 2016. This was the nation's sixth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics.
The St. Kitts and Nevis Olympic Committee sent the nation's largest delegation to the Games since its debut in 1996, due to the participation of the men's 4 × 100 m relay squad. A total of seven athletes, six men and one woman, were selected to the Saint Kitts and Nevis team, competing only in the track and field event.[1] The most notable of the roster was Kim Collins, who was the first athlete from Saint Kitts and Nevis to participate in five Olympic Games. Meanwhile, sprinter Antoine Adams, the most experienced Olympian returning from London 2012, served as the nation's team captain and flag bearer in the opening ceremony.[2] St. Kitts and Nevis, however, has yet to win its first ever Olympic medal.
