I really feel South Asia is the black hole of olympic sports .......look at the statistics they are shocking 

 

Pakistan - 200 million population - 1 official quota + 2 tripartite 

Bangladesh - 168 million - None as of now +  2 tripartite 

Burma - 56 million - 1 official quota + 0 tripartite 

Afghanistan - 32 million - No official quota + 1 tripartite 

Nepal - 31 million - No official quota + 3 tripartite 

Bhutan ( smallest ) - 0.7 million - No official + 1 tripartite 

Srilanka ( most respectable ) - 21 million - 4 official + 5 tripartite 

 

If I leave out Srilanka and India out of it ................here you have a region of close to 470 million population and 2 official quotas - 1 shooter and 1 judoka  ( to put in perspective the entire population of south america is just 370 million or so :yikes:

 

Really this is the pits ....I think by comparison of course we at India  are doing reasonably well ....105 quotas ( 2 can be considered unearned  in part - swimming ) hoping to close at 115-120 .............

I have to remind you that Myanmar (Burma) is in Southeast Asia... Yes it is a pity that country like Bangladesh or Pakistan is struggling to qualify to the Olympics. In case of Myanmar, they will be happy if you can include Sepaktakraw in the Olympics :p

Romanian NOC has just officially aproved the team which will go to Rio; there will be 100 competitors.

 

Full list can be found here

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

no, well I am a bit familiar with the majority of the names so I know, how to say, assign them to their sports, so no need to translate. and as Romania has only 1 spot in womens Gymnastics and there 14 athletes allowed in Hadball, it´s not so hard to have the correct amount of 98 + 2 reserves :d
