	Like to see how many medals Vatican City has.

Comment below threshold: show it

	henstud:	Oct 7th, 2009 at 19:10 GMT		37 points
	you should allow 'st' instead of saint for the caribbean islands

	Roman:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 17:24 GMT		23 points
	Burma should be acceptable for Myanmar, CAr for Central African Republic and DRC for Democratic Republic of the Congo I prefer to call Myanmar Burma because the military regime changed the name against international law

	Vatican City does not have an Olympic committee and has never participated in an Olympic Games. Isn't Cape Verde missing from this list?

	nadivereb:	Dec 10th, 2009 at 12:29 GMT		8 points
	Cape Verde, Palau and the Maldives are missing. At least I think so.

	And in 2008 there was talk about the US being upset that China would bypass the US in a medal counting (with 4 times as many people)?

	I am glad Kyrgyzstan has medals :) also Bangladesh is hte largest county in population here never won a medal and Sudan in area

	I agree too much time.

	Colmar:	Aug 23rd, 2011 at 19:45 GMT		0 points
	South Sudan seems to be missing, unless they earned a medal in the last month.

	soshoreman:	Aug 23rd, 2011 at 20:01 GMT		12 points
	Standard practice on this site to allow St. DRC, and CAR.

	recklessness:	Aug 24th, 2011 at 11:57 GMT		1 point
	Non-Sporcle countries that compete in the Olympics missing: Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands, Guam

	ryan_hm:	Aug 24th, 2011 at 13:54 GMT		3 points
	64/69. Missed DRC, CAR and all the Sts. That really does need changing. Poor Monaco though, they'll win a medal one day!

	thebantams1903:	Aug 24th, 2011 at 14:29 GMT		1 point
	Either lower the time or randomise the order of answers

	bollocker:	Aug 24th, 2011 at 17:09 GMT		1 point
	No source, doesn't follow Sporcle standards on abbreviations, and several missing answers.

	riddler:	Aug 25th, 2011 at 13:51 GMT		5 points
	South Sudan should NOT be added - they've not had the chance to compete in an Olympics yet, neither had Vatican City!

	felineyx:	Aug 31st, 2011 at 00:23 GMT		2 points
	Really need some alternative answers on this. Typing out the whole Democratic Republic of the Congo is quite tiring, particularly if it occurs to you straight after Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. St Vincent, St Lucia, DRC, CAR, please!

	Tomodach1:	Aug 31st, 2011 at 13:14 GMT		1 point
	If you are going for an alphabetical order, please put cyprus amongst the "C", Democratic Republic of the Congo amongst "D" and Republic of the Congo amongst "R". Oh, and my compliments towards the Pope, since he seems to have participated in any Olympic game and even won a medal.

	Gundelinho:	Sep 4th, 2011 at 15:10 GMT		2 points
	Missing: Aruba, Cook Islands and American Samoa

	ZYX:	Sep 8th, 2011 at 19:44 GMT		2 points
	Completely agree about the abbreviations. I would have got 100% if you'd allowed St.

	BinroWasRight:	Oct 1st, 2011 at 10:32 GMT		0 points
	I'm rather surprised I got so many, only missed Albania (rather surprised by that one) and Antigua & Barbuda

	arkaithz:	Oct 3rd, 2011 at 10:16 GMT		2 points
	Should include dependencies and territories taht take part in the Olympics despite not being an independent country, i.e. Aruba, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands...

	ronny_jubber:	Nov 18th, 2011 at 01:38 GMT		3 points
	I'd love to see the pope doing the four man bobsleigh for the Vatican at the Winter Olympics.

	Cockroach:	Nov 25th, 2011 at 10:46 GMT		2 points
	Been over 2 years since it was said, but common Sporcle abbreviations really need to be added to this.

	cheeken:	Apr 12th, 2012 at 14:28 GMT		1 point
	first time alphabetical order got the better of me, i didnt try both congos because i saw that there were no more R or D countries left...perhaps this can be adjusted?

	hoipoi:	May 16th, 2012 at 02:11 GMT		-1 points
	American Samoa,Aruba,British Virgin Islands,Cayman Islands,Cook Islands,Crete,New Foundland,North Borneo,North Yemen,Palestine,Saar,South Vietnam and South Yemen are not current countries.

	ChileNoseJam:	Jun 17th, 2012 at 11:45 GMT		1 point
	@hoipoi: the quiz instructions specifically state that a country is included if it has competed in at least one Olympics in the past without winning a medal, even if it does not currently exist as a country - in fact half the fun was using the alphabetical order to work out which former countries (or territories which have never been independent countries) were in there.

	davebesag:	Jun 20th, 2012 at 13:15 GMT		2 points
	Sorry but there's some issues with this. Firstly, many of these have never been countries so the title is wrong. It looks like you've added non-countries without remembering to change the title. Secondly, I missed Democratic Republic of the Congo as you've put it after Dominica. Thirdly, Crete should not be there as the IOC no longer counts the 1906 competition.

	greeky:	Aug 3rd, 2012 at 18:17 GMT		1 point
	I finished the game. Saw countries like South Vietnam. Thinks to self"WHAT, SOUTH VIETNAM IS NOT A COUNTRY!!!!". Hastily reads instructions. Facepalm

	velcrofly:	Aug 7th, 2012 at 12:34 GMT		3 points
	And Cyprus and Grenada.
