XXX London Olympic Games

Georgia competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012.

A total of 35 athletes, 29 men and 6 women, competed in 11 sports, tying the record for the most number of athletes with Beijing. Among the sports played by the athletes, Georgia marked its Olympic debut in tennis.

The Georgian team included three bronze medalists from the previous games: pistol shooter Nino Salukvadze, and freestyle wrestlers Otar Tushishvili and Giorgi Gogshelidze. Among these champions, Gogshelidze only managed to repeat his bronze medal in men's freestyle wrestling. Salukvadze, gold medalist in pistol shooting at the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, participated in her seventh Olympic games, the most experienced member of the contingent. The Georgian National Olympic Committee also appointed her to be the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.

Georgia left London with a total of 7 medals (1 gold, 3 silver, and 3 bronze). Judoka Lasha Shavdatuashvili won the nation's gold medal on the second day of the competition. Six other medals won by the Georgian athletes were awarded in freestyle and Greco-Roman wrestling.
