In some countries, if you win a bronze medal at the Olympics, you become a national hero -forever!
Despite making appearances at 12 Olympic Games since
1936, Afghanistan has secured just one medal — a bronze in Taekwondo at
the 2008 Games. Rohullah Nikpai, who won the medal, was given a house by

“send a message of peace to my country after 30 years of war.”
There are 21 countries that have one only one Olympic medal -but that
list may change soon.
