The United States of America (USA), represented by the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, from August 5 to 21, 2016. U.S. athletes have appeared in every Summer Olympic Games of the modern era, with the exception of the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, which they boycotted in protest of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. For the second consecutive time in the Summer Olympics, the United States was represented by more female than male athletes (264 men and 291 women).

The 2016 Olympics were the third most successful for the United States in terms of overall medal count (121) and the most successful not held in the United States: U.S. athletes won 231 total medals at St. Louis in 1904 and 174 at Los Angeles in 1984. These Games also witnessed the thousandth Summer Olympic gold medal for the Americans.

## Athletics (track and field)

[edit]

Main articles: Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics and Athletics at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification

U.S. athletes achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event).[4][5] The team was selected based on the results of the 2016 United States Olympic Trials (July 1 to 10).

Six marathon runners (three per gender) were the first set of U.S. track and field athletes selected for the Games by virtue of their top three finish at the Olympic Team Trials in Los Angeles on February 13, 2016. One week later in Santee, California, three-time Olympian John Nunn joined them on the team by winning the men's 50 km (31 mi) walk trials under the entry standard (4:06:00).[6]

Two female race walkers (Michta-Coffey and Melville) were added to the U.S. track and field team by finishing among the top two within the qualifying standard (1:36:00) in the 20 km (12 mi) walk at the first day of the Olympic Team Trials in Salem, Oregon. Meanwhile, Nunn won the men's race (1:25:37), but failed to achieve the entry standard of 1:24:00.[7]

Following the completion of the Olympic Trials, a total of 126 athletes (61 men and 65 women) were named to the U.S. track and field team for the Games, with Bernard Lagat running in the long-distance at his fifth Olympics and hurdler Sydney McLaughlin establishing herself as the youngest (aged 16) in four decades. Apart from Lagat and McLaughlin, the U.S. team also featured six Olympic champions: sprinters Justin Gatlin (2004), LaShawn Merritt (2008), and Allyson Felix (2012), long jumper Brittney Reese, decathlete and world record holder Ashton Eaton, and triple jumper Christian Taylor.[8] Hammer throwers Kibwe Johnson, Conor McCullough, and Rudy Winkler were added to the team on July 14, after the IAAF extended invitations to fill out the event.[9]

# – During the second heat the United States missed their second handover which was caused by Franciela Krasucki of the Brazilian team bumping Allyson Felix as she approached the handoff to English Gardner. The American appeal was upheld, and they were given a second chance to qualify for the final, which the United States team accomplished with the number one qualifying time of 41.77.

Main articles: Boxing at the 2016 Summer Olympics and Boxing at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification

Eight U.S. boxers were entered to compete in each of the following weight classes into the Olympic tournament. Carlos Balderas was the only U.S. boxer finishing among the top two of his respective division in the World Series of Boxing.[17][18] Meanwhile, four U.S. boxers (Hernandez, Stevenson, Conwell, and Mayer) claimed their Olympic spots at the 2016 American Qualification Tournament in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[19]

London 2012 middleweight champion Claressa Shields was the only U.S. female boxer to receive her Olympic spot with a quarterfinal victory at the World Championships in Astana, Kazakhstan.[20] Antonio Vargas and Gary Antuanne Russell were the only Americans to secure additional places on the boxing team at the 2016 AIBA World Qualifying Tournament in Baku, Azerbaijan.[21]

Boxers also had to compete at the Olympic Trials in Reno, Nevada to assure their selection to the U.S. team for the Games.[17]

### Road

[edit]

U.S. riders qualified for the following quota places in the men's and women's Olympic road races by virtue of their top 5 final national ranking in the 2015 UCI America Tour (for men) and top 22 in the 2016 UCI World Ranking (for women).[25] As no men qualified automatically through a podium finish at a UCI World Tour event or a top-15 ranking in the UCI World Ranking, USA Cycling filled the quota spots via selection committee on June 23, 2016.[26] The selection committee also nominated all four women athletes to the Games directly after all opportunities for automatic qualification had passed.[27]

### Track

[edit]

Following the completion of the 2016 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, U.S. riders had accumulated spots in the women's team pursuit, as well as both the men's and women's omnium. Although the United States failed to earn a place in either men's or women's team sprint, they managed to secure an outright berth in the men's keirin, by virtue of their final individual UCI Olympic ranking in that event.

Two-time Olympic silver medalist Sarah Hammer automatically earned a selection to the U.S. track cycling team in the women's omnium with a superb runner-up finish at the 2016 UCI World Championships in London.[28] The full U.S. Olympic track cycling squad was named on March 18, 2016.[29]

## Fencing

[edit]

Main articles: Fencing at the 2016 Summer Olympics and Fencing at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification

U.S. fencers qualified a full squad each in the men's team foil and women's team sabre by virtue of their top four national finish in the FIE Olympic Team Rankings, while the women's épée team claimed the spot as the highest ranking team from America outside the world's top four.[47]

In February 2016, Mariel Zagunis, a double Olympic champion (2004 and 2008), and Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first U.S. athlete to compete at the Games in a hijab, were the first two fencers to earn selection to the U.S. Olympic team by finishing in the top two of the national women's sabre team rankings. They were eventually joined by men's foil (Massialas, Meinhardt, and Chamley-Watson) and women's épée (Holmes and Hurley sisters) a few weeks later. Sabre fencers Eli Dershwitz and Daryl Homer, along with London 2012 Olympians Lee Kiefer and Nzingha Prescod, both in women's foil, claimed their spots on the U.S. team by finishing among the top 14 in the FIE Adjusted Official Rankings, while Jason Pryor did so as the top-ranked men's épée fencer from the America zone.[48]

The full U.S. Olympic team was announced on April 11, 2016, at the USA Fencing Division I National Championships in Richmond, Virginia.[49]

These Olympic Games marked the first time the United States directly qualified a whole gymnastics team in all three modalities.

### Artistic

[edit]

The United States fielded a full squad of five gymnasts in both the men's and women's artistic gymnastics events through a top eight finish each in the team all-around at the 2015 World Artistic Gymnastics Championships in Glasgow.[61] The U.S. Olympic Team Trials for men's artistic gymnasts were held on June 23 to 25, 2016 in concurrence with the P&G Gymnastics Championship for women. Meanwhile, the women's Olympic trials were held on July 8 to 10, 2016.[62] John Orozco was originally named to the team, but announced that he suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus in his left knee on July 15 after dismounting from the horizontal bar at a training camp. He was replaced by Danell Leyva.[63]

U.S. rowers qualified 11 out of 14 boats in each of the following classes into the Olympic regatta. Ten rowing crews confirmed Olympic places for their boats at the 2015 FISA World Championships in Lac d'Aiguebelette, France. Meanwhile, the men's eight was further added to the U.S. roster with a top two finish at the 2016 European & Final Qualification Regatta in Lucerne, Switzerland.[73]

U.S. sailors qualified one boat in each of the following classes through the 2014 ISAF Sailing World Championships, the individual fleet Worlds, and other qualifying regattas.[79] The U.S. Olympic team was determined based on the sailors' finishing positions, that is, their lowest series score from their respective class in selected major international regattas.[80]

On February 15, 2016, U.S. Sailing Olympic team announced their selection for the 49er, 49erFX, and Nacra 17 to represent the country at the Rio regatta, based on the results at the ISAF World Cup meet and World Championships, both held in Florida.[81] Meanwhile, the remaining single-handed sailors (Pascual, Buckingham, Paine, Lepert, and Railey), along with the 470 crews, claimed their Olympic spots at the European Championships and Princess Sofia Trophy Regatta.[82]

## Shooting

[edit]

Main articles: Shooting at the 2016 Summer Olympics and Shooting at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification

U.S. shooters qualified for the Games by virtue of their finishes at the 2014 and 2015 ISSF World Championships, 2015 ISSF World Cup series, and designated selection competitions through the Olympic Point System, an opportunity to earn at least one medal in a given tournament and accumulate points within the threshold score (25 for rifle & pistol and 30 for shotgun).[83] The remaining shooters were determined by the Olympic Team Selection trials to secure their spots in each event, as long as they obtained a minimum qualifying score (MQS) by March 31, 2016.[84]

On September 17, 2015, Team USA announced the first six shooters to compete at the Games, including three-time Olympic medalist Matthew Emmons (2004) in rifle shooting, five-time Olympian Glenn Eller (2008) in men's double trap, and defending Olympic champion Vincent Hancock (2008 and 2012) in men's skeet.[85] The remaining shooters were named to the U.S. team at three separate meets of the Olympic Team Trials: small-bore (April 1 to 8), shotgun (May 16 to 25), and air gun (June 3 to 5).

## Swimming

[edit]

Main articles: Swimming at the 2016 Summer Olympics and Swimming at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification

U.S. swimmers achieved qualifying standards in the following events (up to a maximum of 2 swimmers in each event at the Olympic Qualifying Time (OQT), and potentially 1 at the Olympic Selection Time (OST)).[86][87] To assure their selection to the U.S. team, swimmers had to attain a top two finish in each individual pool event under the Olympic qualifying time at the 2016 Olympic Trials (June 26 to July 3) in Omaha, Nebraska.

A total of 47 swimmers (25 men and 22 women) were named to the U.S. Olympic team at the end of the trials, with the most decorated Olympian Michael Phelps emerging as the first ever male American to compete at his fifth Games, long-distance ace Jordan Wilimovsky becoming the first to double in pool and open water, and Anthony Ervin making history as the oldest male to swim in an individual event since 1904. Notable swimmers also included 11-time medalist Ryan Lochte, world record holder Katie Ledecky, and reigning Olympic champions Missy Franklin, Dana Vollmer, and Allison Schmitt.[88]

On August 11, 2016, Phelps set another historic record as the first ever swimmer to earn four consecutive gold medals in the men's 200 m individual medley.[89] Ledecky's final medal total (four golds, one silver) is the most decorated single-Olympics performance by a U.S. female athlete in terms of gold medals, topping Missy Franklin (2012; four golds, 1 bronze), Simone Biles (2016; four golds, 1 bronze), and Amy Van Dyken (1996; four golds).[90]

Ten U.S. tennis players (four men, six women) were entered into the Olympic tournament, with the Williams sisters Venus (world no. 9) heading to her historic fifth Olympics and Serena (world no. 1) looking to defend her singles and doubles titles at her fourth. Alongside the Williams sisters, Madison Keys (world no. 16) and Sloane Stephens (world no. 20) qualified directly for the women's singles, as four of the top 56 eligible players in the WTA World Rankings. Meanwhile, rookies Brian Baker (world no. 596), Steve Johnson (world no. 39), Denis Kudla (world no. 56), and Jack Sock (world no. 27) did so for the men's singles based on their ATP World Rankings as of June 6, 2016. Baker used his protected ranking.

Twin brothers Bob and Mike Bryan led the Americans in the men's doubles, while Bethanie Mattek-Sands and CoCo Vandeweghe joined the Williams sisters in the women's doubles by virtue of their top ten ATP and WTA ranking, respectively. Four of the twelve Olympians comprised two mixed doubles teams. The pairings were decided in late July.[97][98][99]

On July 30, 2016, the Bryan brothers announced that both of them withdrew from the Games due to concerns around a family health problem, missing an opportunity to defend their Olympic title.[100] They were replaced in the men's doubles by Baker and Rajeev Ram.[101]

## Weightlifting

[edit]

Main articles: Weightlifting at the 2016 Summer Olympics and Weightlifting at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification

U.S. weightlifters qualified three women's quota places for the Rio Olympics based on their combined team standing by points at the 2014 and 2015 IWF World Championships. One qualified automatically by virtue of top performances at these events. The others were selected following an Olympic trial on May 8, 2016.[115] A single men's Olympic spot was added to the U.S. roster by virtue of a top seven national finish at the 2016 Pan American Championships. The team had to allocate these places to individual athletes by June 20, 2016.[116]

## Wrestling

Main articles: Wrestling at the 2016 Summer Olympics and Wrestling at the 2016 Summer Olympics – Qualification

The United States qualified a total of 14 wrestlers for the Olympics, the fewest since 1952. Five of them finished among the top six to book Olympic spots each in men's freestyle 74 & 97 kg, men's Greco-Roman 75 & 130 kg, and women's freestyle 75 kg at the 2015 World Championships, while four more licenses were awarded to U.S. wrestlers, who progressed to the top two finals at the 2016 Pan American Qualification Tournament.[117] Four further wrestlers claimed the Olympic slots to round out the U.S. roster in separate World Qualification Tournaments; three of them each in men's freestyle 85 kg and women's freestyle 48 & 53 kg at the initial meet in Ulaanbaatar, and one more in men's Greco-Roman 59 kg at the final meet in Istanbul.

To assure their selection to the U.S. Olympic team, wrestlers had to claim a top spot of each division at the 2016 Olympic Trials (April 8 to 10) in Iowa City, Iowa. Among them were London 2012 gold medalist Jordan Burroughs and World champions Helen Maroulis, Kyle Snyder, and Adeline Gray. On May 11, 2016, Frank Molinaro, who finished third in men's freestyle 65 kg at the final meet in Istanbul, was awarded a final Olympic spot on the U.S. wrestling team after an original qualifier withdrew.[118]

* VT – Victory by fall.
* PP – Decision by points – the loser with technical points.
* PO – Decision by points – the loser without technical points.
