The Moroccan delegation competing in the 2016 summer Olympics arrived in Brazil last week to prepare for the kingdom's 13th appearance at the international games. The team of 51 athletes will be competing in 13 events, Aug. 5-17.
At the London Olympics in 2012, Abdalaati Iguider won Morocco’s only medal, a bronze, in the men’s 1,500 meters, and in Rio, Moroccans are betting on the country's track and field athletes to secure places on the podium to add to the 22 medals Moroccans have so far won in the history of the games.
