Sochi 2014: The Countdown Series: Cameroon

103 days remaining until the opening ceremonies of Sochi 2014. Up next on the countdown: Cameroon.

 
Cameroon has only appeared in the winter Olympics only once: at Salt Lake City 2002, where only one athlete qualified for those games. 
 

Isaac Menyoli (pictured) is still to this day the only winter game athlete to represent Cameroon. The cross country skier did not bring home a medal, but did participate at Salt Lake City 2002 in both the men's sprint and 10/10km pursuit.

As of now, no participants confirmed for Sochi.

Up next: Canada

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
