Everyone today was discussing about what a political correctness shitshow the Olympics opening ceremony was. Well not everyone but a lot of people. Personally I didn't get to watch it other than the occasional quick segment on Twitter so I will abstain from voicing an opinion until I do. But to be fair...What the fuck is this degeneracy? Lol.
Anyways, today I want to talk about yet another interesting yet totally useless bit of trivia related to the Olympics.
Bangladesh is a big country, that is something we all know. With approximately a population of 170 million people. That is a lot of people!
Yet, despite having such a big pool of potential athletes they have never won a single Olympic medal! Not even a bronze one. Making them the biggest country with the poorest Olympic performance. The same is true for the Paralympics. As for the Winter Olympics the country has never participated in any.
Even when it comes to just the number of participants the performance is still remarkably low. For example in the 2024 Olympics the country is participating with just five athletes.
Yeah I know the country is super poor and stuff which probably is the main reason for the poor performance mentioned above. Yet I think it's still fascinating, sort of, that's such a big country fails to achieve better results!
Hopefully one day Bangladesh will see... better days both in the Olympics and in regards to economy and corruption.
Okay friends, this is it for today! Stay tuned for more interesting stuff!
