Japan at the 2016 Summer Olympics
Template:Infobox Olympics Japan Japan competed at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 5 to 21 August 2016. Since the nation's official debut in 1912, Japanese athletes had appeared at every Summer Olympic Games in the modern era, except for two editions; they were not invited to the 1948 Summer Olympics in London because of the nation's role in World War II, and were also part of the United States-led boycott, when Moscow hosted the 1980 Summer Olympics.
With Tokyo will be the host city of the 2020 Summer Olympics, a Japanese segment was performed during the closing ceremony. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was present in the ceremony, while being dressed as Super Mario.[1]

Weightlifting
Japanese weightlifters have qualified three men's and four women's quota places for the Rio Olympics based on their combined team standing by points at the 2014 and 2015 IWF World Championships. The team must allocate these places to individual athletes by June 20, 2016.
The weightlifting team was named to the Olympic roster on May 28, 2016, with London 2012 silver medalist Hiromi Miyake remarkably going to her fourth straight Games.[67] Two further places were added to the Japanese weightlifting squad, as a response to Azerbaijan's omission from the ranking list published at the World Championships, due to "multiple positive cases" of doping on the nation's weightlifters.[68]
