The UAE has participated in the summer Olympics since 1984, and only one medal was won in the summer games by one of their athletes.
The lone medal for the UAE was won by Ahmed al-Maktoum (pictured), who won gold in the men's double trap shooting at Athens 2004.
As of now, the UAE will send 23 athletes to London to compete in four events, including judo and weightlifting. In addition, their men's football (soccer) team has also qualified for the London games as well.
Up next: United States. Look for about a two-to-three part segment on the USA.
