Congrats to the countries of Bahrain, Botswana, Cyprus, Gabon, Grenada, Guatemala & Montenego!!!!

These countries all won their first Olympic medals this olympics!!!!

For countries like the USA we think it's all about winning the most medals. But it's a national celebration for these countries to bring one home and a big honor for the winners no matter the color!

Can't even imagine what it must feel like to win a FIRST Olympic medal for them. Gotta be like bouncing off the walls.

Congrats to you for thinking of them!

I'm pretty sure this Montenegro's first crack at at, since they just recently separated from Serbia. They're a pretty tall and athletic people, though, and I'm sure it won't be their last.

In order: a bronze in Athletics, a silver in Athletics, a silver in Sailing, a silver in Taekwondo, an Athletics Gold, a silver in Athletics, and a Handball silver.

All real sports too; not a single synchronised horse-crapping medal in the list or anything like that.
