PHNOM PENH, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Cambodia has expressed its pride after it had won a bronze medal at the first Youth Olympic Games in Singapore.
Nhan Sokvisal, Chef de Mission who led the Cambodian athletes to the Games said Saturday that upon arrival in Phnom Penh on Friday, the female medalist was cheerfully escorted back by many Cambodians including the Minister of Tourism who was head of Cambodia Olympic Committee.
Nhan Sokvisal said "it was a big pride for Cambodia" to have won the medal.
He said Som Sothea, 15, was one of the four Cambodian athletes who attended the games and won the bronze medal.
She won the game of Judo, while the other three who competed in wresting, running and swimming did not win the medal.
However, Nhan Sokvisal said there were about 3,600 athletes who competed the first Youth Olympic Games in Singapore.
Those athletes came from 205 countries and regions in the world and Cambodia was classified as 79th following a bronze medal as won by Cambodia.

why didn't KI-media remove the 1:28 AM?
1:28 AM, Cambodians are sportman and sportwoman, we are not thief like Siams.
1:28 AM,
You tried, but she made a judo move on you, the perv, and that resulted in ireparable brain damage on you.
The proof of the brain deficiency and complication was clearly shown in your short memory statement.
1:28 AM
Hey, what's up! you told me it was your mom....but not her.
1:28 AM has been using too much drug thats why he got messed up . If he wants to test on her , I bet she will kick his stingy ass.
1:28AM If some one says that to your mother, what do you think? Did your mother tought you to say that language? 1:28AM you're a bad person as far as I am concerned you should be removed from KI-Media reader list for a bad language and look down to own athelic. If I am not wrong, this 1:28AM guy is a foulist gangster and should be locked up in jail and never allow to see daylight again.
1:28 AM,
Shame on you!
I feel really sorry for your parents who cannot be proud of you at all for your dirty talk.
However, believe me she can physically put you down with her skilful judo and you will never last for one round in a ring.
You are a man, but a coward one with your stupid remark on her.
Judging by the fact that so many people here respond to your shameful remark, I guarantee you that you will be in big trouble if we can see you fact to face!
I think KI Media should filter out any inappropriate comments from now on.
Congratulation, Sothea! You made Cambodian proud.

Thank you very much once again to KI Media Team for removing the obscene comment from your site.
Doing so will never be considered a restriction on the freedom of expression, but rather demonstrates clearly your desire to maintain professionalism on your respectable news site.
Once again, thank you very much and keep up the very good work you have been doing.

You have done nothing for Cambodia, but used time to blame others.
Of course all the world knew, she represent Cambodia & the Khmer people at the Youth Olympic Game in Singapore and is not "Youn" Olympic Game as you beleived.
