Южная Африка принимала участие в Летних Олимпийских играх 2016 года в Рио-де-Жанейро с 5 по 21 августа 2016 года. Это было седьмое подряд появление страны на Играх в эпоху после апартеида и девятнадцатое в общем зачете в истории летних Олимпийских игр. Спортивный союз и Олимпийский комитет Южной Африки (SASCOC) послал самую большуюистории делегацию страны на Олимпийских играх, в общей сложности 138 спортсменов, 93 мужчин и 45 женщин, конкурируя по 15 видам спорта.

Южная Африка покинула Рио-де-Жанейро с 10 медалями (2 золотыми, 6 серебряными и 2 бронзовыми), что ознаменовало собой самые успешные Олимпийские игры страны с момента ее повторного приема в 1992 году . Более того, он достиг потенциальной цели по медалям, установленной SASCOC для Игр. ^[2]^[3] Четыре из этих медалей были вручены легкоатлетам, в том числе две золотые медали, выигранные соответственно бегунами Кастер Семеня и Вейдом ван Никерк , которые побили мировой рекорд среди 16-летних в беге на 400 метров среди мужчин . ^[4] Южная Африка также оказалась особенно успешной в командных видах спорта, так как команда регби-семерок, широко известная среди местных жителей как блицбоксы., забил историческую бронзу над Японией в мужском турнире. ^[5]

Среди медалистов были Луво Маньонга , преодолевший наркозависимость и занявший второе место в мужских прыжках в длину, выживший после рака Лоуренс Бриттен , который вместе со своим ветераном-партнером Шоном Килингом в мужской парной гребле стал серебряным призером , и Анри Шуман. который удивил участников, завоевав первую в истории ЮАР медаль по триатлону с бронзовым призером в мужской гонке. ^[6] Пловцы Кэмерон ван дер Бург и Чад ле Кло завоевали три серебряные медали страны в бассейне, при этом Ле Кло стал самым титулованным олимпийцем Южной Африки за всю историю с четырьмя медалями (одна золотая и три серебряных) за две игры. . ^[7]Тем временем Сунетт Вилджоен оправилась от разочаровывающего результата 2012 года и поднялась на олимпийский подиум на своих четвертых Играх, заработав серебро в метании копья среди женщин. ^[8]

Competitors[edit]

South African Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee (SASCOC) confirmed a team of 138 athletes, 93 men and 45 women, to compete across 15 sports at the Games.^[9] It was the nation's largest ever delegation sent to the Olympics, breaking its previous record of 134 athletes set in Beijing 2008.

By May 2015, SASCOC enforced a stringent selection policy to ensure that only world-class athletes would compete for the Olympic team. Specifically, SASCOC would not accept any Olympic places for teams or individual-based athletes, who qualified through African continental routes. For some sports, however, where continental route was the only available path, additional athletes or teams would be applicable for selection.^[10]

As a result of SASCOC's selection policy, South Africa permitted to only send football (for both men and women) and men's rugby sevens teams to the Games.^[9] For individual-based sports, South Africa marked its Olympic debut in golf (new to the 2016 Games) and equestrian dressage, as well as its return to diving and artistic gymnastics after a near decade of absence.

Track and field accounted for the largest number of athletes on the South African team, with 39 entries. There was a single competitor each in badminton, diving, equestrian, artistic gymnastics, and judo.^[11]

Seven of the past Olympic medalists from individual-based sports returned, including defending swimming champions Cameron van der Burgh (men's 100 m breaststroke) and Chad le Clos (men's 200 m butterfly), triple jumper Godfrey Khotso Mokoena, middle-distance runner Caster Semenya (women's 800 m), and flatwater canoeist Bridgitte Hartley. Rowers John Smith and James Thompson, both of whom won gold as members of the former lightweight four crew at London 2012, paired up to take on the men's lightweight double sculls at the Games.^[12] Along with Mokoena, javelin thrower Sunette Viljoen joined the exclusive club of South African athletes who competed in four consecutive Olympics, becoming the first female from her country to do so.^[13]

18-year-old football midfielder Linda Motlhalo was South Africa's youngest competitor, with sailor Roger Hudson, who raced alongside his London 2012 partner Asenathi Jim in the men's 470 class, rounding out the field as the oldest competitor (aged 38). Other notable South African athletes included world-ranked triathlete Richard Murray, and cancer survivor Lawrence Brittain, together with his veteran partner Shaun Keeling in the men's rowing pair. Track star Wayde van Niekerk, who entered the Games as the reigning world champion and a potential gold medal favorite in the men's 400 metres, led the South African team as the flag bearer in the opening ceremony, the first by a male after 12 years.^[1]^[14]

On 25 May 2016, six marathon runners (three per gender) were named as part of the initial batch of nominated athletes to the Olympic roster for Rio 2016, including London 2012 Olympians Lusapho April and Irvette van Zyl.^[17] Following the end of the qualifying period on 11 July, thirty-nine athletes (26 men and 13 women) rounded out the nation's track and field roster for the Games three days later, with triple jumper and Beijing 2008 silver medalist Godfrey Khotso Mokoena leading the team for his fourth straight Olympics.^[18]
