Croatia left Rio de Janeiro with a total of ten medals (five gold, three silver and two bronze), finishing seventeenth overall in the medal tally. This was also the nation's most successful Olympics since its debut in 1992, surpassing the amount of six medals earned from London 2012. The gold medals were awarded to Josip Glasnović (shooting), Martin and Valent Sinković (rowing), Šime Fantela and Igor Marenić (sailing), Sara Kolak (javelin throw), and Sandra Perković (discus throw).

Weightlifting

For the first time since 2004, Croatia has received an unused quota place from IWF to send a male weightlifter to the Olympics, as a response to the complete ban of the Russian weightlifting team from the Games due to "multiple positive" cases of doping.^[29]
