Romania

The East European country hasn’t participated in all the Olympics and has not even got the opportunity to host the quadrennial event even once. But the country’s athletes have rarely disappointed, giving the country 301 medals with 88 Golds.

Gymnastics has been Romania’s strongest suit where they have 72 medals and 25 Gold medals. After Hungary, Romania has the most number of medals for a country who have not been able to host the Games.
