According to Wikipedia, Bolivia won the women's doubles title at the 2018 Racquetball World Championships. This is probably Bolivia's first ever gold medal in any sport at the world championships.

I think so...moreover, they never won an Olympic medal at all in their entire history (but at the 2010 YOG they won the men's Football Gold)...

Which is why in 2015 I put them in 2nd place in a ranking of worst nations in the Olympic history  (thanks to a lot of statistics from sports-reference.com)

Monaco has an Olympic medal, they can't be that bad.

Use Google Translate and you'll see I don't count the architecture medal, much like the IOC  

 

Also one might see India for example as piss-poor in terms of sports, seeing as they have literally more than a billion people yet barely perform better than most much smaller countries, but I specifically made the choice only for countries without official medals

Unofficial medal is still better than no medal.

What's the main criteria for sports, their federation should be part of SportAccord or whatever it's called nowadays?

I think that we can count the SportAccord's federation, do you have other ideas?
