Rio Olympics 2016: 5 small countries who have prolific medal tallies

Cuba

Cuban boxers have dominated Olympics in the last half a century or so

The small North American country that has remained staunchly Communist over the years under Fidel Castro has also continuously produced world class boxers apart from achieving excellence in other Olympic sports. In the 27 Olympics that it has taken part in, Cuba has amassed a whopping 202 Olympic Medals.

Cuba have won 72 Gold 67 Silver and 69 Bronze. One can only wonder how many medals could the Cuban athletes have brought home had the country not been embroiled in Cold War rivalries. Cuba has specially dominated Boxing at the Olympics with 34 Gold and a total of 67 medals.
