Vanuatu competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's eighth consecutive appearance at the Summer Olympics.
The Vanuatu Association of Sports and National Olympic Committee (VASNOC) selected a quartet of male athletes to compete each in boxing, judo, rowing, and table tennis at the Games, failing to register any female athletes for the first time in its Summer Olympic history.[1][2] All of Vanuatu's competitors made their Olympic debut in Rio de Janeiro, except for table tennis player Yoshua Shing, who attended the London Games four years earlier. The most experienced competitor of the roster, Shing was given the honor of carrying the Vanuatu flag at the opening ceremony.[1]
Vanuatu, however, has yet to win its first ever Olympic medal, as none of these athletes progressed beyond the first round of their respective sporting events.
