The Bermuda Olympic Association sent a total of 8 athletes to the Games, 5 men and 3 women, to compete in athletics, equestrian, sailing, swimming, and triathlon. Five of them had competed in Beijing, but failed to advance past the first round of their events. Triathlete Tyler Butterfield made an Olympic return from the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, after an unsuccessful attempt to qualify for the Beijing games. Open skiff sailor Zander Kirkland, competing at his first Olympics, was the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.
Bermuda, however, failed to win its first Olympic medal since the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, where Clarence Hill won the bronze for boxing. Long jumper Tyrone Smith qualified for the final rounds, but finished down the standings.
