Players and events in 2016

In the summer games, Belgian athletes will take part in quite a number of events. The nation is known to win most of their medals in track and field events, a feat that they hope will help them to take their medal ranking higher in the coming Olympics.

The events the team will take part in are as follows: archery, athletics, mountain biking, cycling, canoeing, badminton, equestrian, fencing (men’s sabre), gymnastics, field hockey (men’s tournament), sailing, rowing, judo, swimming, shooting, taekwondo, tennis (men’s and women’s singles), and triathlon.

The Belgian team comes to the Rio with people having a lot of expectations, especially from the soccer team that has done so well in international competitions. Players like Raheleh Asemani, who will compete in Taekwondo, are looking to add medals from new competitions to the tally.
