I don't know what a hell Hun Sen government doing because of all every sport Khmer had never gotten any medals even if Sea games ( the region games) Khmer lose all the time. May be we don't have the budget or may be the bad gorvernment never thought about it.

Do they practice everyday or they just warming up when it is close to the competition?

I don't know if this is true, but sometimes sports represents the amount of money the nation is willing to spend in training resources and sponsorships of athletes. Theres no way our current government can support this under a dictatorship/tyrant whos nontheless corrupt. Within a few years if the government changes I'm willing to bet that Khmers will be successful in alot of sports namely track/soccer.

Most of us in Cambodia are crippled. How can we have enough men/women powers to compete in sports? Plus, the current Cambodian gov't officials has no idea of what sports is. The majorities of them probably has never play sports in their whole life. These guys sucks at sports but good at corruption and oppression. If those two were to be sports, Cambodia gov't would be the best at it.

Lame lame very lame excuses. Most of us are not criple.

In 1971, the second year Cambodia (seems) to enter in the SEA Games, it won 17 gold medals. Not Bad! This was the second year it went, the first time in 1961, it won 1 medal. The Sea Games are held every two years, the first one was in 1959.

So don't say we are losers! It's just that Cambodia is a poor country now, you can't expect athletes to put all their efforts into sports when many are poor and have bigger things to put their mind into.

I'm pretty sure we would be the Kings of South East Asia if it werent for the stupid commies.

Khmer athletes need support financially and mentally,not to mntion nutritions so they can perform their sports, who have the energy to think about sport when there're 3to 4 kids to feed,and who will support the family? khmer sport ain't glamarous as we westerner.

Have you been to Cambodia lately?

OK, The lastest news is Khmer got 4 bronzes Medal. Lao got 1 Gold, 3 sillvers and 5 bronzes. Khmer still a loser.

May be the East Timor, a Newest country will be surpass Khmer, an oldest country but loser.

LOL. Sad.

It's okay! Anyone that crosses the finish line will always be a winner! Remember what Mohatma said! Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment, full effort is full victory.

dont make fun of khmer,cuz in olympic you're all losers

I can not agree with you guy. The fact is in Olympic 2004, Thailand won 3 golds 1 silver and 4 bronzes, Total 8 medals. We are not loser but winner. Khamer can use a Thai Coach to help develops Khamer sport, even come to practise with Thailand in the sport you have potential enough. Khmer should focus on the sport you have the most potential and put more resources on that sport, one or two, should be enough for start.

This is Olympic 2004.

Cambodia is the last member of the SEA games....

During the 60s and 70s Cambodia is one of the strongest sporting nations in SE-Asia, even better then Vietnam. But years of warfare under Pol Pot and after has caused Cambodia to lag behind other nations, and now not just Cambodia but both Vietnam and Laos is still struggling to find any success.

Again, winning GOLD in SEA Games doesn't mean anything if the country can't win $hit at Olympics.

seriously Camodia was one of the Top eh wow thats surprising

You have no idea how good we can be. But it doesn't matter, because at the end, there is only one result. RIP!

I hope next SEAGAME Khmer will be better. I see what Laos did is better than the past. She can win a gold medal. Khmer is in the same rank with East-Timor.

Finally, Vietnam cannot stay in the second rank. Thailand is a second now.

Cambodia got 4 BRONZE!

At least Cambodia got something. I guess helping alleviate poverty is better than spending money on sport.

Vietnam is trailing Thailand with just one gold medal with 63 Golds at the moment.

At the moment the total medal count for Cambodia is 9 medals, 8 bronze and 1 silver.

Laos got 3 golds 4 silvers and 12 brz. Loas quite develope faster than Cambodia. That is not bad for small country, but Cambodia have to tried hard. Do someting, not just speek louder. It's help nothing.

Seeing Laos and Cambodia on Olympics is funny because they always finish last.

poor Laos

You know what? Maybe Cambodia need to return to communist, I knew Laos just celebrate their 30 years National Day, they(loas) still governed under a Communist banner.

Communist countries usually invest more in sports for propaganda purposes, thus Laos outperforming Cambodia by a tad bit is pretty good in my opinion.

I know for a fact that WE KHMER are not suck in sport. It is our governments that is suck in sport. They probably sends their incompent sports participant within their own government to compete. They thought that by sending their own players to compete, they can STEAL something. Well, obviously not and the current Khmer government is still suck.
