Mali competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London, from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's 12th appearance at the Olympics, although not consecutive.
Mali sent its smallest delegation to the Games since the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Six Malian athletes, four men and two women, qualified to compete in four sports.
Taekwondo jin and double-time world heavyweight champion Daba Modibo Keita missed out on winning a medal, which would have been Mail's first Olympic medal, after he withdrew from the bronze medal bout because of the injuries he had sustained.[1]
Mali made their Olympic debut at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan and they had appeared at every Summer Olympics since. The 2012 Summer Olympics in London, England, United Kingdom marked Mali's 12th appearance at a Summer Olympics and the six athletes present was their smallest delegation since the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia.[2]
