New Zealand have athletes in 16 sports - allowing for two disciplines in equestrian, eventing and dressage, and four under the cycling umbrella, road, track, mountainbike and BMX.
Soccer, to these eyes a marginal Olympic sport at best, has the largest contingent in terms of numbers, two squads of 18; hockey has 32, two groups of 16; while rowing, the strong tip to be New Zealand's most fruitful sport in London, has 26 on the waters of Dorney Lake in Eton.
There is one first: women's boxing is making its Olympic bow and Indian-born flyweight Siona Fernandes and Alexis Pritchard, the Cape Town-born lightweight, will be donning the silver fern.
Among the questions to be pondered before competition begins, is how many medals New Zealand will bring home? You won't get any official predictions on that.
Ever since the government funding agency, then called Sparc, came out with a seriously inflated figure, and fell well short, in Melbourne at the Commonwealth Games six years ago, you won't find anyone shouting out numbers.
However, the New Zealand Olympic Committee has set its sights on 10.
That would bring the New Zealand century of medals - including Annelise Coberger's Winter Games silver in the slalom at Albertville, France, in 1992.
As an Olympics approaches, excitement grows. With that comes often outlandish talk on medal chances. Athletes who six months out might be rated a possibility to do well morph into having one foot on the podium.
This is not a line of thinking unique to New Zealand. Take the BBC, whose panel of Olympic experts came up with 95 British medals to be won at "their" Games. That includes 27 gold, and is about double what their own sports funding organisation, people whose business it is to know these things, believes can be won.
History can teach us about keeping feet planted on such matters.
At Beijing four years ago New Zealand won nine medals; four years earlier in Athens it was five, one more than Sydney in 2000. You need to go back to Barcelona in 1992 for the last time New Zealand reached double figures, with 10.
So it's do-able, if far from a given. And it'll be fun watching them try.
