Big for nothing?

It's called punching below your weight.

Mongolia actually has four medals.

Botswana sent 4 athletes - 1 medal

Afghanistan sent 6 athletes - 1 medal

Bahamas sent 10 athletes - 1 medal

Kuwait sent 11 athletes - 1 medal

Tajikistan sent 16 athletes - 1 medal

Guatemala sent 19 athletes - 1 medal

Saudi Arabia sent 19 athletes - 1 medal

Mongolia sent 29 athletes - 4 medals

Iran sent 53 athletes - 9 medals

Nigeria sent 55 athletes - 0 medals


The fact that we could only muster 55 athletes with our population in the first place says a lot.

o.k replace it with Vietnam

I think Nigeria is the country that sent in the most competitors without winning a single medal.

I knew something was very wrong with Nigerian athletes the moment an Indian girl overtook a Naija chick in the 4x 400 relay (Commonwealth games to win a gold medal. The Indian chick ran down the Naija girl and passed her! Something did not look right.) What about your football team? Remember they won gold in 1996 and brought the country together. You mean they could not string a team together to qualify?

The Indian relay team were on drugs (they were later exposed).... but you can find an example in this Olympics that was equally as bad. I'm even getting annoyed when we get through as fastest looser because I know we probably end up being last again..
Its like Dante's inferno.. constant rewind of torment ...

52 athletes.

3 were not actually in London....I think doping. Check the official site..the likes of Vivien never participated.

Talking of doping. I never believed Carmelita Jeter for one second. Her muscular frame and improvements in speed after age 30. Just like we saw in Flo Jo...well, the s..t is about to hit the fan ...forgive my language for I never curse.
