Vietnam has been sending teams at the Summer Olympics since 1980 Moscow only boycotting 1984 Los Angeles in between. With a population of around 97 million, it was one of the most populated countries not to have won an Individual Gold Medal. This all changed at Rio 2016 Games when Hoang Xuan shot for Gold in Men's 10 m air pistol event to bring Vietnam its first-ever Olympic Gold. To add to his stellar performance he got a silver in Men's 50 m air pistol as well.
