Bhutan: No medals yet in the Asian Games _ but still happy


nextprevThe Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan has never won a medal of any kind at the Asian Games, much less the Olympics. "People at home are not unhappy we have not won," Younten Tshedup, a reporter for the national newspaper Kuensel, told the Associated Press at the Asian Games. By comparison, Bhutan's giant neighbor China has won more than 3,000 medals — about 1,500 gold — in Asian Games competitions. Archery has many participants, but the disciplines practiced at home are different than those on the Asian Games and Olympic sports programs. Bhutan has sent athletes to every Asian Games since 1990, according the country's profile on the Asian Games website.
