Uganda sent a delegation of 26 competitors (24 men and 2 women) across 5 sports, but among all the 26 competitors Uganda didn't win any medal. This marked a break in Uganda's Olympic medal streak, which had seen the country win medals in the three previous participating Summer Games (1968, 1972, and 1980).
