are they small and exotic nation in sport? C`mon, maybe Austria, Portugal? Uruguay? 

 

Well they will have less then 50 athletes.    Maybe 3 medal hopefuls.  No medals in london.  7 medals all together.  I think in Olympic terms we are pretty small.

Maybe not to Europeans...

 

Anyway, Israel is probably right at the borderline for what this project was designed for. They'll probably have around 40 athletes and while winning a medal is possible they aren't heavy favourites (women's -63kg in judo I think is their most likely medal)

Ill say right now its women 63 and men 100+  with Or Sasoon in great shape.  Also womens wrestling and triple jump.

I don't think that really goes as a an exotic nation in sports, but I'm open for discussion

I would have taken Nauru  But I'll take Micronesia, then. What exactly do I do after I've picked?

You support them  

 

Anything you want really, you can follow their Olympic qualifying, post any news you find or come across , maybe take a look at local media even  

On a Dutch forum where this idea comes from, someone is contacting the Swaziland Olympic Committee for example (unfortunately they're not responding yet), but those are all kinds of things you can do

 

And during the Olympics of course you'll keep us posted on the awesome results of the Micronesian heroes

Personally I'm not a fan of countries like Israel in this thread, and obviously I have nothing against Israel personally. A country like Iran is exotic for us Dutch people (as we never hear anything about them or their athletes), but we decided not to allow them on the Dutch forum since they're of course not an exotic sports nation. 

 

Of course if he wants to keep us updated about Israel and post all kinds of interesting news from Israeli media that's hard to find anywhere else, I won't ask Sindo to delete those posts and I'll read them with interest
