Athletes who have won Olympic medals under the olympic flag?
Answers
hey sakna here
4 Independent Olympic athletes have won Olympic medals at the 1992 & 2016 Olympics. 3 of them were Yugoslavian (Barcelona 1992) and one from Kuwait (Rio 2016) and all the medals were in Shooting.
the medalists are:
1.Fehaid Al-Deehani, Gold medal in Men's double trap.
2.Jasna Šekarić, Silver medal in Women's 10 m air pistol.
3.Aranka Binder, Bronze medal in Women's 10 m air rifle.
4.Stevan Pletikosić, Bronze medal in Men's 50 m rifle prone.
There are many reasons why athletes will compete independently, e.g.:
1.Political transition
2.International sanctions
3.Suspensions
4.Geopolitical changes
The reason Al-Deehani compete under the Olympic flag is that the Kuwait Olympic Committee has been suspended by the International Olympic Committee due to governmental interference.
The reason the Yugoslavian medalists compete under the Olympic flag is:
The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) was under United Nations sanctions which prevented the country from taking part in the Olympics. However, individual Yugoslav athletes were allowed to take part as Independent Olympic Participants.
