Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Liberia competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012. This was the nation's eleventh appearance at the Olympics since its debut in 1956.

The team comprised four Liberians: three athletes, and for the first time, one jukoda. Among these athletes, American-born decathlete Jangy Addy only competed at his second consecutive Olympics. Sprinter Phobay Kutu-Akoi, a psychology graduate at St. John's University in New York, was the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony. Liberia, however, was unable to win its first Olympic medal.

Liberian athletes have achieved qualifying standards in the following athletics events (up to a maximum of 3 athletes in each event at the 'A' Standard, and 1 at the 'B' Standard):

Liberia had 1 judoka invited, Liva Saryee. However, Saryee did not compete, as he received a bye in the first round and did not start in the second round. It later transpired that Saryee had been proposed for selection by the national judo federation despite never having taken part in any judo competition and being unfamiliar with the rules of the sport.
