[QUOTE="Brigantine, post: 814473, member: 73940"] Is South Sudan a country? or, East Timor? Samoa? I suppose you mean "never been part of any country that won a medal". Still doesn't seem right. Tonga: Nope, they got a medal once. Vatican City: holy crap, even they got a medal once Malta: had their own Olympic team within the empire from 1928-1964, but 1896-1924 they competed with a country that has won medals. Plausible. But not quite true - There's Bhutan and Andorra. Alternatively, you mean Liechtenstein is the only country that was won medals at the *winter* Olympics, but not the summer Olympics. Well, I can't make a lie of that one.
