Palau time
Palau had reasonably successful games. 5 athletes competed in 4 sports. Medals were always impossible, but some decent results were achieved (for the first time in history a Palauan athlete advanced from first round, and that happened twice!).
ATHLETICS
Rodman Teltull advanced from preliminary round after winning his heat with 10.53 (only 0.01 outside of his own NR). In his quarterfinal race he finished 8th out of 9 with 10.64.
CANOEING - SPRINT
Marina Toribiong was the first Palauan kayaker at the Olympics. She competed in both women's K1 events and qualified for semfinals in 200m sprint.
SWIMMING
Shawn Dingilius-Wallace and Dirgulbai Misech competed in 50m races, finishing 72nd and 65th, respectively. Both of them broke national records.
WRESTLING
Florian Temengil competed at his second Olympics (first were in 2008). He was defeated by Hungarian wrestler Ligeti in the round of 16 via technical superiority.
Temengil will be the Palauan flag bearer at the closing ceremony.
