Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
The Chilean Olympic Committee (Spanish: Comité Olímpico de Chile, COCH)) fielded a team of 42 athletes, 25 men and 17 women, to compete in sixteen sports at the Games.[2] It was the nation's largest delegation sent to the Olympics without any association to the team-based sports for the first time. Nearly 25 percent of the Chilean team competed in the track and field, the largest by sport; there was only a single competitor in archery, equestrian, golf, judo, shooting, taekwondo, and triathlon.
The Chilean roster featured five sets of family members, including beach volleyball cousins Esteban and Marco Grimalt, race walking twins Edward and Yerko Araya, London 2012 yachtsman Benjamin Grez and his older brother Cristobal, and two other pairs of rookies sailing each other in the men's and women's 470 class, respectively: sisters Arantza and Begoña Gumucio and brothers Andrés and Francisco Ducasse.[3] Fifteen Chilean athletes previously competed in London, with Laser sailor Matías del Solar and distance freestyle swimmer Kristel Köbrich headed to their fourth Olympics. Meanwhile, marathon runner Érika Olivera, who served as the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony, reached a historic milestone as the first Chilean female to compete in five Olympic Games.[1] Other notable Chilean athletes included world-ranked triathlete Bárbara Riveros, artistic gymnast and London 2012 fourth-place finalist Tomás González, shot putter Natalia Duco, and 16-year-old archer Ricardo Soto.
For the second Olympics in a row, Chile failed to earn a single medal at the Games. Riveros, González, and weightlifter María Fernanda Valdés were the only athletes to achieve the most successful outcome for Chile in Rio de Janeiro, finishing among the top eight in their respective sporting events (fifth for Riveros and seventh each for González and Valdés).[4]
Archery
One Chilean archer qualified for the men's individual recurve by securing one of three available Olympic spots at the Pan American Qualification Tournament in Medellín, Colombia.[5]

Weightlifting
Chile has qualified one female weightlifter for the Rio Olympics by virtue of a top four national finish at the 2016 Pan American Championships. Meanwhile, an unused men's Olympic spot was added to the Chilean weightlifting team by IWF, as a response to the vacancy of women's quota places in the individual World Rankings and to the "multiple positive cases" of doping on several nations.[29] The team must allocate these places to individual athletes by 20 June 2016.[30]
