Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Honduras competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's eleventh appearance at the Summer Olympics.

The Honduran Olympic Committee (Spanish: Comité Olímpico Hondureño) sent the nation's second-largest delegation to the Games, matching its roster size with Beijing 2008. A total of 26 athletes, 25 men and 1 woman, were selected to the Honduran team across eight sports, with the men's football squad returning for its third consecutive appearance at these Games.[2] Among the Honduran athletes were weightlifter Cristopher Pavón, butterfly swimmer Allan Gutiérrez, taekwondo fighter Miguel Ferrera, and track sprinter Rolando Palacios, who led the squad as the nation's flag bearer in the opening ceremony.[1]

Honduras narrowly missed out on its first ever Olympic medal in Rio de Janeiro, as the men's football team, led by captain Bryan Acosta, suffered a 2–3 defeat to the Nigerians for the bronze.[3]

Honduras received a universality slot from IAAF to send a male athlete to the Olympics.:[4][5]
