The Iranian Olympic mission comprises 63 athletes representing 14 sports federations including the Athletics, Archery, Boxing, Cycling, Fencing, Judo, Rowing, Shooting, Swimming, Table Tennis, Taekwondo, Volleyball, Weightlifting, and Wrestling federations.

The Iranian delegation looks forward to outdo its performance at London 2012, when it won four gold medals, five silvers and three bronzes.
Iran left London finishing seventeenth in the overall medal standings. This was also the most successful Olympics for the Middle East, winning the largest number of medals at a single games, and surpassing by just double the record from Athens. 
Notable accomplishments included the nation's first gold medals in men's Greco-Roman wrestling, and the nation's first ever medal in athletics, won by discus thrower Ehsan Haddadi.
The 2016 Summer Olympic Games will begin on August 5 and runs until August 21.
