Federated States of Micronesia National Olympic Committee (FSMNOC) selected a team of five athletes, two men and three women, to compete only in athletics, swimming, and women's boxing (the country's Olympic debut in Rio de Janeiro) at the Games. The nation's roster was similar to those sent to Sydney (2000), Athens (2004), and Beijing (2008). Among the Micronesian athletes were freestyle swimmer Debra Daniel, who competed in her third consecutive Games, and lightweight boxer Jennifer Chieng, who led the squad as the nation's flag bearer in the opening ceremony.
