Burma will field just four athletes in this summer’s London Olympics, according to a report by the Democratic Voice of Burma. Citing an official from the government’s Sports and Physical Education Department, the report said the athletes would compete in shooting, archery and rowing events.

The 2012 London Olympics Games, which start on July 27, will host more than 10,000 athletes from around 200 countries.
