Worst Summer Olympics By Country

For each country, enter the year of that country's worst ever performance in the Summer Olympics, according to gold medal rank, with absolute number of medals, followed by number of golds, as tiebreakers. See the opposite quiz here and the Winter version here

If the country earned 0 medals in multiple Olympics, any of those years will work.

Years in which fewer than five athletes from the relevant country participated are discounted.
