London 2012: The Countdown Series: Ivory Coast

170 days to go until the start of the London games. Up next on the parade of nations: Ivory Coast (or Cote D'Ivoire) (CIV).


The nation has participated in the summer Olympics since 1964, and only one medal was won by one of their athletes.


The late sprinter Gabriel Tiacoh brought Cote D'Ivoire their only medal to date-a silver in the men's 400m (athletics) at Los Angeles 1984.

As of now, 2 athletes from the country will participate in the two sports: men's 100m and 200m (athletics) and women's 67kg (taekwondo).

Up next: Croatia
