Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
The African island country of Seychelles competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, held from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's eighth appearance at the Olympics, except the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul because of its partial support to the North Korean boycott.
The Seychelles Olympic and Commonwealth Games Association (SOCGA) sent the nation's smallest delegation to the Games. A total of 6 athletes, 4 men and 2 women, competed in four different sports. Four Seychellois athletes received their spots in track and field, and in swimming by wild card entries. Judoka and Olympic qualifier Dominic Dugasse was the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony. For the first time since 1984, Seychellois athletes did not qualify in sailing and weightlifting.
Seychelles has yet to win its first ever Olympic medal.
