Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |||||||||
Israel competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. This was the nation's sixteenth appearance at the Summer Olympics.
The Olympic Committee of Israel fielded a team of 47 athletes, 22 men and 25 women, across 17 sports at the Games. It was the nation's largest ever delegation sent to the Olympics, breaking its previous record of 43 athletes set in 2008.[2][3] Among the sports represented by its athletes, Israel marked its Olympic debut in golf (new to the 2016 Games), mountain biking, and triathlon, as well as its return to road cycling, taekwondo, weightlifting, and wrestling after long years of absence. The nation's full roster also reached a historic milestone on the Israeli women, as they officially outnumbered the men for the first time.[4]
The Israeli delegation featured fourteen returning Olympians. Only five of them participated in their straight Games as the most experienced of the team, including windsurfer and 2008 bronze medalist Shahar Tzuberi, butterfly and medley swimmer Gal Nevo, synchronized swimmer Anastasia Gloushkov, artistic gymnast Alexander Shatilov, and rhythmic gymnast Neta Rivkin, who was selected as the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony, the first by a female since 1996 and fourth overall in history.[3][1]
Israel returned home from Rio de Janeiro with only two bronze medals, each won by judoka Yarden Gerbi (women's 63 kg) and Or Sasson (men's +100 kg), marking a slight, but noteworthy improvement from the nation's out-of-medal feat at London 2012.[4] Meanwhile, several Israeli athletes successfully advanced to the finals of their respective sporting events, but came closest to the medal haul, including the women's rhythmic gymnastics squad (captained by Alona Koshevatskiy) in the group all-around, javelin thrower Hanna Knyazyeva-Minenko (previously represented her native Ukraine in London), and windsurfer Maayan Davidovich in the women's RS:X.[5]
On August 3, 2016, two days before the start of the Olympics, the International Olympic Committee officially honored the 11 Israelis murdered during the Munich massacre for the first time.[6][7]

Controversy
Prior to the Olympics, Facebook allowed users to add the Olympic logo and the team flag to their profile pictures, however Israel was not included on this list.[91][92] The flag was later added to the list, however was not listed alphabetically, and was included at the end of the list.[93]
Prior to the opening ceremony, the Lebanese delegation was assigned to ride on the same bus as the Israeli delegation.[94] The head of the Lebanese team, Salim al-Haj Nicolas, admitted that he demanded that the bus door be closed on the Israeli team, and that the Lebanese demanded that the Israeli athletes not board the bus. Udi Gal, an Israeli Olympic sailor, said his team ultimately decided to travel separately to avoid an "international and physical incident" but added "How could they let this happen on the eve of the Olympic Games? Isn't this the opposite of what the Olympics represents?"[95]
A Saudi Arabian judoka, Joud Fahmy, was accused of forfeiting her match in order to avoid competing against Gili Cohen.[96] Fahmy, Saudi Arabia's news agency Al Arabiya, and the Saudi Olympic delegation have both stated that Fahmy forfeited because she received an injury,[97] however other media outlets reported she was not injured.[98]
Egyptian judoka Islam El Shehaby refused to shake hands with Israeli Or Sasson or to perform the traditional post-match bow (giving only a quick nod), after Sasson defeated El Shehaby in a first-round match in the heaviest weight class on 12 August. American coach Jimmy Pedro called the Egyptian's behavior "completely dishonorable and totally unsportsmanlike".[99] El Shehaby was sent home early by the IOC and Egypt's Olympic committee for refusing to shake Sasson's hand.[100]
