The Olympics is coming up again in 2008. If I am not mistaken I think it will be in Beijing. What sports do Uruguayans participate in?

Trackbacks

Trackback specific URI for this entry

No trackbacks.

Comment #1 PokerPrincess from Canada, Earth -

That's a very interesting question. I don't think I recall the Uruguayans participating in the Olympics at all. I could be mistaken but I watch most of the Olympic games and I just don't recall anyone from Uruguay.
Now it could be because they didn't win anything so they were not recognized. If anyone knows anything about this I would be interested in hearing about it.

Comment #2 ribbon from around town -

Now that you asked, I can't recall what they could have participated in. I checked out the Olympic website and found that in 2000 Uruguay did participate and won a silver. It seems like the silver was won in mens cycling.

In Sidney 2000 , cyclist Milton Wynants gave Uruguay its first Olympic Medal ( SILVER) in 36 yrs, after finishing second in the 40 km by-points event ( spanish claimed the gold/russian got the bronze) .
Uruguay 's last athlete to step to teh podium had been boxer Washington Rodriguez who took bronze in Tokyo 1964 games.
