You almost don't notice them with Azerbaijan and Qatar on headlines. I guess that's because they are not as successful in terms of medals/good results. Also Singapore, who has many Chinese-born athletes, but they are nothing like Bahrain. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcro 10,172 Posted May 5, 2016 #9 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Also both Palestinians currently qualified are German-born. But you can't blame them, they didn't buy them. Their marathon runner is of Palestinian heritage (and she has Arab name) while their dressage rider is just a great enthusiast.
