Eddermys Sanchez Machado represented Belize in men's judo. He qualified by being awarded an invitational place by the Tripartite Commission in June 2012. Sanchez took part in the men's half-lightweight judo (66 kg) competition, which included athletes under 66 kilograms in weight. He was the oldest person to represent Belize at the London Games at the age of 32, and made his debut in the Olympic movement. Sanchez faced Miklós Ungvári of Hungary in the Round of 32 after receiving a bye and was defeated by his opponent after 19 seconds and therefore eliminated from the competition.
