Venezuela at the 2012 Summer Olympics

[1] This was the nation's seventeenth consecutive appearance at the Olympics, since its debut at the same host city in 1948.Celebrating the anniversary of the nation's Olympic debut, the British Embassy in Caracas invited former track cyclist Julio César León to travel back to the United Kingdom, and revisit his memories as the first Venezuelan athlete in history to compete at the games.Notable Venezuelan athletes included sisters Andreína and Yanel Pinto in freestyle and open water swimming, all-around gymnast Jessica López, and track cyclist Daniela Larreal, who made her Olympic comeback in London after an eight-year absence.Table tennis player Fabiola Ramos, who competed at her fifth Olympics, was the most experienced athlete and became Venezuela's second consecutive flag bearer at the opening ceremony, and the fourth in Olympic history.[3] It was awarded to fencer Rubén Limardo, who won the men's individual épée.
Pedro Mora finished sixty-second in men's marathon.
Tomás Gil finished thirty third in men's time trial.
