Nicaragua’s Beijing Olympic Update

Nicaragua has been waiting since 1968 to win a medal at the Olympic Games. It has been a goal that has eluded the courageous and hardworking athletes from the country in all of the last nine Olympic Games and for now, as the Beijing Olympics progresses, Nicaragua has placed its hope in the events that still remain. In 1996, the team came very close to the bronze medal, as the baseball team made it through to the semifinals, but tragically lost to the USA team. But all hope is not lost, as athletes and supporters back home hold onto the dream of winning a medal.
