Why have 160 Million Bangladeshis failed to win a single Olympic medal in 50 years?

Much brouhaha is made about India's perforamce..at least India manages to win medals...But 160+ Million Bangladesh has failed to win a single medal in 50 years!!! Even Pakistan does better as Pakistan has won a medal merely 29 years back....Is it due to Bangladeshi genetics?






Bangladesh, with an approximate population of 170 million, is the most populous country in the world never to have won an Olympic medal

It has to be genetics as according to pdf ,bangladeshis are richer than indians thus their govt must have spent billions on sports infrastructure.....

It has to be the bengladeshi genes.

@Juggernaut_Flat_Plane_V8 not you man. The thread there is not a troll fest, at least for now. Don't do it.

It's not the genes but the kind of games played in Olympics are the reason why countries like India, Pak and Bangladesh haven't able to do well in Olympics.

Although Bengal tigers also suck in cricket

@Maira La How does genetics contribute to Bangladeshi Olympic success?

@Juggernaut_Flat_Plane_V8 Why does my government send 6 athletes for sightseeing when your country sends 126 highly trained athletes? You guys do your best, and I don't see the same from our side. Write an open letter to BD government and help us out.

Okay maybe it's time for change, ask my government to send 126 highly trained athletes from all over BD.

So your athletes are not highly trained?

Maybe or maybe not, but 6 athletes and 10-12 non-athlete officials means it's more of a sightseeing tour for those officials using public money.

How is it same? Does your Olympic team have more gov officials than athletes? So what is it, a team of 500 with 126 athletes? Else you cannot say it's the same.

ecess govt officials in entourage doesnot affect the athlete's performance

But it does say something about the main purpose of the trip.
