Liberia competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom from 27 July to 12 August 2012.
The team comprised four Liberians: three athletes, and for the first time, one judoka.
Among these athletes, American-born decathlete Jangy Addy was the only one to compete at his second consecutive Olympics.
Sprinter Phobay Kutu-Akoi, a psychology graduate from St. John's University in New York, was the nation's flag bearer at the opening ceremony.
It later transpired that Saryee had been proposed for selection by the national judo federation despite never having taken part in any judo competition and being unfamiliar with the rules of the sport.
