Sporting event delegation
Pakistan
competed at the
2016 Summer Olympics
in
Rio de Janeiro
, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's seventeenth appearance at the Summer Olympics. Pakistan has not won any medal since
1992 Summer Olympics
.
National Olympic Committee of Pakistan
sent the nation's smallest ever delegation to the Games, as the men's field hockey failed to qualify for the first time in a non-boycott Olympic edition. A total of seven athletes, four men and three women, were selected to the Pakistani team across four different sports. All of them had gained their Olympic entries, either through Tripartite Commission invitations or quota spots, with swimmers
Lianna Swan
and
Haris Bandey
, as well as judoka
Shah Hussain Shah
, being based abroad.
