I’ll provide updates on San Marino here every once in a while Before the 2020 Olympics, San Marino had never won an Olympic medal. In Tokyo, things changed, and they managed to win TWO medals at Tokyo in shooting (Silver- Mixed Trap, Bronze- Women’s). Although the mixed trap event will be removed for the Paris 2024 Olympics, they should have two chances at the podium in men’s/women’s trap, along with Myles Amine in men’s 86kg wrestling.
