Summer Olympics appearances (overview)

Cuba competed at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta, United States. 164 competitors, 111 men and 53 women, took part in 84 events in 15 sports.[1]

Due to the hostilities in the US-Cuban relations, Cuban athletes were only allowed to travel to Atlanta following the permission of its local NOC, to avoid any possibility of defections.[2]
