Nepal’s 60-year-old quest for an official Olympic medal

Tejbir Bura is the only Nepali to get a gold medal in Nepal’s Olympic history. During the 1924 Winter Olympics, he was part of a multi-national team of mountaineers and the gold was not recognised as official medal for Nepal.

Seven athletes, one pursuit—the first ever official medal at the Olympics. Be it a bronze, silver or even a gold.
