it should also be noted that the Dominican Republic, Grenada & Cyprus claimed their first ever Olympic medals the other day, dropping the number of countries to never win a medal from 80 to 77. |
Didn't Felix Sanchez of the Dominican Republic win gold in 2004? |
sorry, fixed it to say Guatemala instead of the Dominican Rep. |
No problem.
And that's great for those 3 countries to have their first Olympic medalist. |
Botswana can now be added to the list as Amos Nijel won silver in the men's 800m. |
Bahrain is now officially on the list as Maryam Yusuf Jamal won bronze in the women's 1500m. Also, with Montenegro in the women's handball gold medal match & Gabon's Anthony Obame in the taekwondo men's 80kg+ gold medal match, both countries will be added to the list later today.
