Newcomers per Sport at the Summer Olympic Games 2016


Recommended Posts

Another idea for a list which I thought could be interesting, which got in my mind thanks to a post in the table tennis thread.

 

Apparently, Fiji will be represented in table tennis for the first time in Olympic history, which got me thinking, which other nations will have these kind of "firsts" in the different sports?

 

- Kosovo doesn't count, as it'll be their first Olympics (same thing for South Sudan?)

There are plenty of nations that will be making their debut in certain sports. Dominican Republic, Palestine, Qatar, Chinese Taipei and Zimbabwe qualified for the first time ever in equestrian, for example.


New sports (golf, rugby) and new nations (Kosovo and South Sudan) shouldn't count here.

Rugby and Golf doesn't count right? 

I'm doubting about rugby, because it has been at 4 Olympics, but not in the rugby sevens format...

Golf was in the 1900 and 1904 Olympics so technically every country there would be new, but maybe it'd be more interesting if we don't look at rugby and golf indeed.

True, although I wouldn't say that's a nation :p 

 

 

 Once again a great idea man. interesting thread :yes

 

for SVK it´s not official, but the things looks fine (at least I hope) for our first ever entry in beach volleyball. It´s true that for now our pair "Domi/Nata" are in fact under the qualifying ranking line, but I´m confident here

    • Here, the Masters is on national TV.  Are major golf tourneys in the USA shown in other places?   (I work at a private school that's just about an 80-minute drive from Augusta.  Many of my students are able to go watch the tournament in person.  I've never paid attention to golf until this year...it's a beautiful course!)

    • Orban had one big plus- he built modern football stadiums in Hun and several modern swimming pools in Budapest. Maybe we should hire him as our sports minister and infrastructure
    • Btw. I once read that Denmark has the best democracy in the world - in the sense that it has the most equal system, unlike, for example, North Korea or Eritrea on the other side of the political ocean.
    • This is Tisza's only chance, because without a constitutional majority, Orbán would return for several years. Hopefully, Tisza wins that majority.
    • Seems like a supermajority for Magyar
    • so, one of the most boring world cup stages ever has ended    if it wasn't for  and , winning 1 gold medal each, a  sweep would have come true, as they won all the remaining 8 gold medals (and a bunch of silver and bronze, too)    while some sports are brcoming more and more global, it looks that (rifle and pistol) shooting is going the other way round, it's becoming less and less global, with just 1 or 2 dominating Countries and a few others filling the (minor) gaps here and there, with always less Nations capable to win medals (only 12, out of 10 competitions) and even make the final    now the Rifle and Pistol world cup takes a break to allow most Continental championships to take place between the end of April and May.   It will be back in  Munich in the last week of May.   In the meantime, the Shotgun specialists will be on stage from May 2nd through May, 11th in  Almaty.
