Summer Olympics appearances (overview) | |
Myanmar Olympic Committee sent only two women to compete only in archery and weightlifting, respectively.[2] Weightlifting coach U Hla Win was among the officials and coaches who carried their national flags in the opening ceremony.[1]
Myanmar, however, has yet to win its first ever Olympic medal. On August 14, 2004, weightlifter Nan Aye Khine managed to achieve a fourth-place finish in the women's 48 kg class, but the International Olympic Committee decided to expel her from the Games when she was tested positive for an anabolic steroid three days later.[3]
