Some countries are great at the Olympics, some, not so much. Bangladesh is the eighth-most populous country on earth home to 171 million people, but its Games record makes for sorry reading.
Bangladesh not only has never won a medal but until golfer Siddikur Rahman his spot in Rio by finishing 55th out of 60 in final qualifying, no athlete had reached the Olympics on merit.
The disappointing tale means Bangladesh boasts a worse Games record than Bahrain, Barbados, Bermuda, Botswana, Burundi and plenty of other nations with different first letters-all of the aforementioned have won one, and only one, medal in their history.
Other than Bangladesh, war-torn Democratic Republic of Congo and Myanma until recently cut off from the wider world by its dictatorial government, are the other countries in the top 40 of the population never to have won an olympic medal, summer or winter.
In past Olympics the only for Bang spots ladeshi athletes came through the wildcard system, which offers places to countries that had not met typical qualifying criteria and otherwise would have no involvement.
