London 2012: The Countdown Series: Cameroon

180 days to go until London. Next up on the parade of nations: Cameroon (CMR).


The central African nation has been to the party (when it comes to the summer games) since 1964, and only won five medals. Three of them are gold.


Their most successful Olympian to date is Francoise Mbango Etone. She won two medals in the women's triple jump-at Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008.


Their other gold in the summer games was won by the men's football (soccer) team at Sydney 2000, that includes a young Sam Eto'o (pictured).

As of now, 22 athletes from this country will be represented in five events-including in wrestling as well as various athletic events. The women's football team will be there at London as well as they have qualified.

Up next: Canada
