The Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan has never won a medal of any kind at the Asian Games, much less the Olympics.
The country's fame, instead, comes from its billing as one of the happiest places on earth. In fact, the government promotes a concept it terms "Gross National Happiness" as a way to measure success.
"People at home are not unhappy we have not won," Younten Tshedup, a reporter for the national newspaper Kuensel, told the Associated Press at the Asian Games.
"Everyone is happy, even with no medals. But medals this time would be icing on the cake."
"We don't have the facilities. Maybe that's why we are not winning. In Bhutan we (athletes) are all students and we only practice for four hours. In other countries they are almost practicing for a whole day."
