The Bahamas πŸ‡§πŸ‡Έ at the Olympics

 Today is the Bahamas πŸ‡§πŸ‡Έ turn. They became the Bahamas Olympic Committee in 1952 and was in their first summer Olympics that year. Have been in every summer Olympics since then, with the exception of 1980 (remember the boycott?). They have never been a winter games yet. They have won 8g, 2s and 6b for 16 total overall. All medals were won in sailing and athletics. First medal won was a bronze in sailing star class in 1956 by Durwand Knowles and Sloane Farrington. First gold was also in sailing star class in 1964 by Durwand Knowles and Cecil Cooke. First bronze was the womens 4x100m team in track. Debbie Ferguson, Eldece Clark-Lewis, Chandra Sturrup, Savatheda Fynes and Pauline Davis-Thompson. Highest amount of medals in one games was 3 in 2000. First flag bearer was Harold Munnings in 1960, although I think there was one or two before. Debbie Ferguson carried the most times at 2 (2004 and 2008). Here is the flag of the Bahamas.
