Cuba competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's twentieth appearance at the Summer Olympics. The Cuban team consisted of 124 athletes, 89 men and 35 women, across eighteen sports.{{cite news|first=Roberto|last=Ramírez|title=Cuban flag flying in Rio|url=http://en.granma.cu/olympic-games-rio-2016/2016-08-03/cuban-flag-flying-in-rio|publisher=Granma|date=3 August 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}}

Cuba returned home from Rio de Janeiro with a total of 11 medals (5 gold, 2 silver, and 4 bronze), its lowest haul in Summer Olympic history since 1976 based on the overall tally.{{cite news|first=Iván|last=García Quintero|title=Juegos Olímpicos de Río: Cuba retrocede cuarenta años|trans-title=Rio Olympics: Cuba recedes after forty years|language=es|url=http://www.martinoticias.com/a/juegos-olimpicos-de-rio-cuba-retrocede-cuarenta-anos/128587.html|publisher=Martí Noticias|date=24 August 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}} Six of these medals were awarded to the Cuban team in boxing, three in wrestling, and one each in athletics and judo (both of which were won by women).

The most significant Cuban highlight of the Games came from Mijaín López, who successfully defended his super heavyweight title in Greco-Roman wrestling, matching a historic "three-peat" effort with Russian legend Alexander Karelin in the same sport category.{{cite news|title=Lopez equals Karelin with third consecutive wrestling gold|url=https://www.olympic.org/news/lopez-equals-karelin-with-third-consecutive-wrestling-gold|publisher=Olympics|date=16 August 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}}{{cite news|title=Cuban wrestler Mijain Lopez completes a golden three-peat|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/olympics/2016/live-updates/rio-games/scores-and-latest-news/cuban-wrestler-mijain-lopez-completes-a-golden-three-peat/|work=The Washington Post|date=16 August 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}} Moreover, Lopez joined heavyweight boxers Teófilo Stevenson (1972–1980) and Félix Savón (1992–2000) as the only Cubans to ever achieve three successive Olympic titles.{{cite news|title=Cuban wrestler Mijain Lopez wins third title in Olympics|url=http://www.cubanews.acn.cu/sports/5569-cuban-wrestler-mijain-lopez-wins-third-title-in-olympics|publisher=Cuba News Agency|date=16 August 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}}{{cite news|first=Isaac|last=Risco|title=Cuba Gets its 2nd Gold in Rio, from Wrestler Mijail Lopez|url=http://www.havanatimes.org/?p=120488|publisher=Havana Times|date=16 August 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}}

Boxers Robeisy Ramírez (bantamweight), Arlen López (middleweight), and Julio César La Cruz (light heavyweight) contributed three of the country's gold medals through their respective weight categories, while reigning world lightweight champion Ismael Borrero added the Olympic title to his career treasury in Greco-Roman wrestling.{{cite news|first=Alfonso|last=Nacianceno|title=Cuban boxing in Río: Blow by blow|url=http://en.granma.cu/deportes/2016-08-23/cuban-boxing-in-rio-blow-by-blow|publisher=Granma|date=23 August 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}} On the women's side, judoka Idalys Ortiz completed a full set of medals at her third Olympics with a silver in the heavyweight class (+78 kg), bowing out her title defense to France's Émilie Andéol.{{cite news|first=Shawn|last=Smith|title=Emilie Andeol dethrones Idalys Ortiz for women's heavyweight judo gold|url=http://www.nbcolympics.com/news/emilie-andeol-dethrones-idalys-ortiz-womens-heavyweight-judo-gold|publisher=NBC Olympics|date=13 August 2016|access-date=30 January 2017|archive-date=3 February 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170203003750/http://www.nbcolympics.com/news/emilie-andeol-dethrones-idalys-ortiz-womens-heavyweight-judo-gold|url-status=dead}} Meanwhile, world champion Denia Caballero collected the country's only track and field medal with a bronze in the discus throw.{{cite news|first=Ronal|last=Quinones|title=Cuba's Wrestlers Shined in Rio 2016|url=http://www.havanatimes.org/?p=120569|publisher=Havana Times|date=13 August 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}}

Competitors

The Cuban Olympic Committee fielded a team of 124 athletes, 89 men and 35 women, across 18 sports at the Games. Although its full roster was roughly larger by 13 athletes than in London four years earlier, it was still one of Cuba's smallest delegations sent to the Olympics since 1964.

Men's volleyball was the only collective sport in which Cuba qualified for the Games, having returned to the Olympic scene after a sixteen-year absence.{{cite news|title=Cuba Men's Volleyball Qualifies for Olympics|url=http://www.havanatimes.org/?p=116020|publisher=Havana Times|date=11 January 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}} For individual-based sports, Cuba made its Olympic debut in badminton, as well as its return to fencing, modern pentathlon, and beach volleyball after being absent from London 2012, and artistic gymnastics after 12 years. Track and field accounted for the largest number of athletes on the Cuban team, with 43 entries. There was a single competitor each in archery, badminton, fencing, and taekwondo.

Fifteen of Cuba's past Olympic medalists returned, including defending champions Idalys Ortiz (judo, women's +78 kg), boxers Robeisy Ramírez (bantamweight) and Roniel Iglesias (welterweight), and rapid fire pistol shooter Leuris Pupo, who headed the roster as the most experienced competitor going to his fifth straight Games. Aiming for a historic golden three-peat in the super heavyweight category, Greco-Roman wrestler Mijaín López was selected to lead the Cuban delegation for the third consecutive time as the flag bearer in the opening ceremony.{{cite news|title=Wrestler Mijain Lopez will be Cuba's Olympic flag-bearer|url=http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/sports/2016-06/16/content_25729769.htm|publisher=China Daily|date=16 June 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}} Moreover, he matched the record of boxing legend Teófilo Stevenson, who carried the Cuban flag at Munich 1972, Montreal 1976, and Moscow 1980.

Seventeen-year-old artistic gymnast Marcia Vidiaux was Cuba's youngest competitor, with skeet shooter and Athens 2004 bronze medalist Juan Miguel Rodríguez rounding out the field as the oldest competitor (aged 49).

Other notable athletes on the Cuban roster included 2015 world silver medalist Manrique Larduet in men's artistic gymnastics, pole vaulter Yarisley Silva, world boxing champions Joahnys Argilagos (light flyweight), Yosvany Veitía (flyweight), Lázaro Álvarez (lightweight), Arlen López (middleweight), and Julio César La Cruz (light heavyweight), world-ranked rower Ángel Fournier in the men's single sculls, and Greco-Roman wrestler Ismael Borrero (men's 59 kg).{{cite news|first=Ronal|last=Quinones|title=Cuba's Best Chances in the Rio Olympics|url=http://www.havanatimes.org/?p=120183|publisher=Havana Times|date=25 July 2016|access-date=30 January 2017}}

Archery

One Cuban archer has qualified for the men's individual recurve at the Olympics by receiving a spare berth freed up by El Salvador as the next highest-ranked eligible athlete, not yet qualified, at the Pan American Qualification Tournament in Medellín, Colombia.{{cite news|first=Joaquin|last=Goméz Serra|title=Adrián Puentes: décimo espirituano con boleto a Olimpiadas|trans-title=Adrián Puentes: tenth Espirituano to earn an Olympic ticket|language=es|url=http://www.radiosanctispiritus.cu/es/2016/06/adrian-puentes-decimo-espirituano-con-boleto-a-rio/|publisher=Radio Sancti Spiritus|date=30 June 2016|access-date=12 July 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160806194847/http://www.radiosanctispiritus.cu/es/2016/06/adrian-puentes-decimo-espirituano-con-boleto-a-rio/|archive-date=6 August 2016|url-status=dead}}

Athletics (track and field)

Cuban athletes have so far achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event):{{cite web|title=iaaf.org – Top Lists|url=http://www.iaaf.org/statistics/toplists/index.html|publisher=IAAF|access-date=18 April 2015}}{{cite web|title=IAAF Games of the XXX Olympiad – Rio 2016 Entry Standards|url=http://www.insidethegames.biz/media/file/559/IAAF%20Rio%202016%20standards.pdf|publisher=IAAF|access-date=18 April 2015}}

Following the end of the qualifying period on July 11, 2016, a total of 43 athletes (24 men and 19 women) were named to the Cuban track and field roster, as part of the nation's official team announcement nine days later.
