Algeria Olympic Team at the 2016 Rio Olympics
Algeria at 2016 Rio Olympics
In 2016 Rio Olympics, Algeria will make its 13th appearance. The nation has participated in all Olympic Games since 1964, except for the 1976 games, which they failed to participate due to the African boycott.
Their first appearance in the winter edition was in the year 1992 when the games were hosted in Albertville, France. Since then, they have participated thrice but are yet to win a medal. Algeria sent its largest delegation of athletes in the summer games of 2004 but sent a measly 38 athletes to 2012 London Olympics.
Algeria’s medal tally
In the 15 Olympic Games that the country has participated – 12 summer and 3 winter games – it has won 15 medals which averages to one medal per event. The medals include 5 gold, 2 silver and 8 bronze medals. Algeria is one of those countries that bagged all of their medals in the summer games. The country is ranked 63rd in the worldwide medal ranking.
Players and events at the 2016 Olympics
The team has 40 athletes who have qualified in a number of events. In the 2016 Olympics, they will be participating in athletics, boxing, fencing, cycling, soccer, shooting, sailing, and rowing among others. The team expects to win most of its medals in athletics and boxing which they have had numerous successes in the past.
The team hopes to go beyond their low medal count. Athletes such as Mohamed Flissi (Boxing) and Taoufik Makhloufi (track and field) hold the hopes of a nation in their hands as they await their chance to make their countrymen proud.
However, the opinion held by most sports experts is that anything above four medals will surpass what is expected of them at the games.
