Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Argentina competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's twenty-fourth appearance at the Summer Olympic Games, having missed only three editions since their 1900 debut: the 1904 Summer Olympics in St. Louis, the 1912 Summer Olympics in Stockholm and the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow because of its support for the United States-led boycott. The Argentine Olympic Committee (Spanish: Comité Olímpico Argentino) sent the nation's largest ever delegation to the Games in Olympic history, surpassing the record set in London 1948.

On 6 August, judoka Paula Pareto claimed the gold in the women's 48 kg, becoming the first Argentine woman to become an Olympic champion.

Argentine sailors have qualified one boat in each of the following classes through the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships, the individual fleet Worlds, and South American qualifying regattas.[43][44]

The entire Argentine sailing squad for the Olympics was named on 1 April 2016, including London 2012 bronze medal duo Lucas Calabrese and Juan de la Fuente, and three-time medalist Santiago Lange, who eventually joined his sons and skiff crew Yago and Klaus Lange to confirm his sixth Olympic appearance.[45]
