The Marshall Islands participated in their second consecutive Olympics in 2012. The delegation consisted of four athletes - two men and two women: one male and one female athlete in athletics, and one male and one female athlete in swimming. Middle-distance runner Haley Nemra was chosen as the national flag bearer during the opening ceremony. Unfortunately, the Marshall Islands did not win any medals in the competition. The Marshall Islands made its first appearance at the Olympics in 2008 with a team of five athletes. They trained in Australia before the London Games. The Marshall Islands gained recognition from the International Olympic Committee in 2006, along with Montenegro and Tuvalu, increasing the total number of competing nations at the 2008 Olympics. The Marshall Islands had two athletes compete in athletics at the 2012 Summer Olympics: Timi Garstang and Haley Nemra. Garstang took part in the men's 100 meter and finished last in his heat, while Nemra competed in the women's 800 meter and came sixth in her heat. Neither athlete won a medal in their respective events. The Marshall Islands sent two swimmers to the 2012 Olympics: Giordan Harris and Ann-Marie Hepler. Giordan finished 46th in the men's 50 meter freestyle and Ann-Marie finished 49th in the women's 50 meter freestyle.
