Was blanking on #2 and #3...then read "Some countries/teams no longer exist" and crushed it for 100% with 2:57 remaining.

I should have read the notes...I guessed all the former Yugoslavia countries, and didn't even think of the Soviet Union.

Only 68% for Serbia. People are guessing here. They did not watch final game this year :)

It's a pretty boring sport for most of the world's tastes. As a spectator sport, the wheelchair basketball is so much more fun.

"Soviet Union" is probably worth a 13th medal - in 1992 the "Unified Team" (all of the just-dissolved Soviet Union, minus Georgia) won the women's gold.

I don't know the quizmasters rules, but I always separate the Unified Team from the Soviet Union because it was less than the Soviet Union (just the republics minus Georgia, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania), and more than just Russia.

Yugoslavia actually has 8, Biggie Smalls is correct, but those are only the men's medals for Yugoslavia. The women won bronze in 1980 and 1988. Serbia does only have two.

on a recent QM quiz, the united team is counted along with the Soviet Union. I think I would group them together, as well. The medals don't belong to any one country... the athletes had been training together because they used to be Soviets... I think it makes the most sense to award them posthumously to the USSR.

Sorry, my mistake - Georgia WAS a part of the Unified Team. The ones that were not were Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania.

Cool quiz! I would probably cut the time in half since there's only 9 answers though.

I had 30 secs remaining until I noticed the description that it includes former countries!

If 3x3 basketball was to be added to this Quiz we would have 2 more countries that would join the list:

Serbia (Silver (M) and Bronze (W) in 2016, 3x3 Bronze (M) in 2021)

China (Silver (W) in 1992, Bronze (W) in 1984 and 3x3 Bronze (W) in 2021)

Does 3x3 Basketball count?

i think you got one wrong. 4+4+4 is 12, not 13, so 12 medals, not 13.

I gave up when I realised that I was just naming countries at random.

Do these medals come from men's and women's basketball?

Ah, it must be both as I'm pretty sure that our bronze medal at this year's Tokyo Games is the Boomers' very first one.
