Jag är helt ointresserad av sport, men inte ens jag har lyckats undgå att vinter-OS hålls i Sydkorea.

Jag läste denna artikel:
https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/a/p6W5yo/maste-se-till-att-overleva-det-har
som handlar om Pita Taufatofua
Han tävlade i Taekwondo för öriket Togo i OS i Rio 2016.
Och nu har han lyckats kvala till vinter-OS där han ska åka 15 km längdskidor fristil.

Vilket fick mig att fundera:
Vilka är de mest udda deltagarna i OS genom tiderna (både sommar- och vinter)?
De jag kom på var:

"Eddie the Eagle" som ställde upp i backhoppning för England i vinter-OS i Calgary 1988.

Jamaicas Bobsleigh-team, också i vinter-OS i Calgary 1988.

Kejsar Nero.

Pikiwedia said:
In 67AD Nero participated in the Olympics. He had bribed organizers to postpone the games for a year so he could participate, and artistic competitions were added to the athletic events. Nero won every contest in which he was a competitor. During the games Nero sang and played his lyre on stage, acted in tragedies and raced chariots. He won a 10-horse chariot race, despite being thrown from the chariot and leaving the race. He was crowned on the basis that he would have won if he had completed the race. After he died a year later, his name was removed from the list of winners.
