Tajikistan has competed in the summer Olympics since 1996. Only two medals have been won by their athletes in the summer games.
Despite no gold medal, only one silver was won for Tajikistan. In the freestyle light-heavyweight (wrestling) final, Yusup Abdusalomov (pictured) earned the silver despite losing to Revaz Mindorashvili (GEO) at Beijing 2008.
The only bronze for Tajikistan was won in judo by judokan Rasul Bokiyev, in the men's lightweight class (judo) at Beijing 2008.
As of now, Tajikistan will send seven athletes to London, to compete in four events-athletics, wrestling, taekwondo and boxing.
