Template:Infobox Olympics British Virgin Islands

The British Virgin Islands competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, which took place between 27 July to 12 August 2012. The country's participation in London marked its eighth appearance at the Summer Olympics since its debut in the 1984 Summer Olympics.

The British Virgin Islands delegation included two track and field athletes, 100 meter sprinters J'maal Alexander and Tahesia Harrigan. Harrigan reprised her role to be the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.

Alexander failed to progress through the heats whilst Harrigan was eliminated in her event's quarter-finals. This meant that British Virgin Islands won no medals at this Summer Olympics.

Background

The British Virgin Islands participated in eight Summer Olympic games between its debut in the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, United States and the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.[1]
