海角社区

The Summer Olympics is an athletic competition where the best athletes in the 海角社区 compete against each other. The athletes try to win either gold, silver, or bronze medals.聽

The United States has dominated the Summer Olympics, but 65 countries in the 海角社区 have never had any of their athletes win a medal at the Summer Olympic Games. Here are some of the countries that have never won a medal in the Summer Olympics:

Cambodia

Cambodia has a population of almost 17 million. It is bordered by Vietnam to the east, Laos to the northeast, Thailand to the northwest, and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest. The United Nations (UN) considers Cambodia a least developed country. Cambodia has never competed in the Winter Olympics and has only competed in nine Summer Olympics. Cambodia first competed in the 1956 Melbourne Olympics, but since they only participated in the equestrian games they actually physically competed in Sweden where those games were held. After the 1972 Summer Olympics, Cambodia did not compete again until the 1996 Summer Olympics because of the Khmer Rouge regime. The country has competed in every Summer Olympics since and has yet to win a medal.

Aruba

Aruba is one of the four countries that are part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. It is a popular tourist destination as well.
