On August 4, Beijing time, the eighth day of the Paris Olympics has ended, and on this competition day, two small countries won the first gold medal of this Paris Olympics, that is, Dominica and Saint Lucia, while India, as a population superpower, has 8 days and 0 gold medals, only three bronze medals, which is undoubtedly very bad, India sports are too bad, currently Dominica and Saint Lucia are ranked 32nd in the gold medal list, while India is in 53rd!
On the eighth day of competition, the track and field event ushered in the second day of competition, and the result was that the two small countries Dominica and St. Lucia won the first gold medal of the tournament on the same day, and not only that, but also made history together, because this first gold medal is also the first gold medal in their Olympic history, which is a huge breakthrough!
In the women's triple jump final, because the most dominant defending champion in this event, Venezuela's Rojas, failed to participate, so the gold medal became suspenseful, and as a result, the Dominica athlete Lafont came back, after six jumps, finally won the gold medal with a score of 15.02 meters, and was the only player to break the 15-meter mark, it is worth mentioning that this gold medal contains a lot of gold, this is the first gold medal in the history of the Dominica Olympics, which can be called a breakthrough, very meaningful!
A similar scene occurred in the much-anticipated women's 100m trapeze final, where defending favourites Jamaica star Thompson also did not participate, and Jamaica's 37-year-old veteran Fraser also withdrew early in the final, making the situation out of control, and the title race is also very suspenseful. The result came from St. Lucia Alfred, facing the encirclement of the United States three, still alone with a time of 10.72 seconds to win the women's 100m gold medal, which is not only the first gold in Saint Lucia's event, but also the first gold in the history of the Saint Lucia Olympics, and a huge breakthrough!
Many people don't know that Dominica and St. Lucia, both of which are small countries with small populations, Dominica has 77,000 people and St. Lucia has 180,000 people, and the interesting thing is that both teams sent four people to participate in the competition this time and won a gold medal, which is very remarkable. Look at India, the population superpower, this time sent a 117-person luxury lineup to participate, and the result was to win three bronze medals in the shooting event, even inferior to these two small countries, I have to say that India is really too bad, it is a big surprise!
