Netherlands Medal Count (Tally) 2016 Olympics

The Netherlands have competed at every edition of Summer Olympic Games since the official debut in 1908. The Dutch athletes didn't take part in 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne to protest against the Soviet invasion of Hungary.

Events Where Dutch Athletes will Participate

2016 Rio Olympics will see athletes competing in close to 20 different events including beach volleyball, cycling, badminton, equestrian, fencing, hockey, sailing, swimming, tennis, table tennis, judo, rowing, and triathlon.

The Tennessee swimmer Kira Toussaint, who is a native of Amstelveen, will be the first Tennessee women's swimmer or diver to compete in the Olympics while still being an active member of the team.

The Netherlands were among the first countries to secure table tennis slots at Rio Olympics 2016. They were also one of the first countries to qualify for men's hockey tournament.
