Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
This is boxing bronze medalist Bruno Julie, a bantamweight who became the first ever Olympic medalist for the island nation of Mauritius, population 1.3 million. Mauritius was one of a handful of countries that won its first Olympic medal at the Beijing Games. With athletes from 87 nations receiving medals, an unprecedented number of countries earned a gold, silver or bronze. The previous high was 80 countries earning medals at the 2000 Olympics.
Whether the high number of nations winning medals is a sign that sports are becoming more globalized, or whether this just happened to be a year with a lot of good athletes from small countries, people like Bruno Julie make for the best stories during the Olympics, the athletes who will leave Beijing and return home to a hero's welcome. He deserves it.
