"Choeyang started to smile when she was passing the Tibetan flags
and somehow, her smile never left her beautiful face... ."
A 22-year-old young woman named Choeyang Kyi made history in London by becoming the first-ever Tibetan to participate in the Olympics... and, she came away with a Bronze medal, finishing 14 seconds behind the new world record in 20km women's race walking.
"I'm extremely honored to take part as the first representative of the Tibetans at the Olympic Games and to win a medal," she said, adding that she was deeply encouraged by Tibetans cheering her on as she ran along the course.

This is so gladdening.
Congratulations Choeyang!
We are very happy with you!!!
And the official record reads...
Bronze: Qieyang Shenjie – China.
Invisible as usual.
Don't be disheartened my dear friend. Time will come when it will read "Tibet". This is just the beginning. We should feel proud about the fact that first ever Tibetan Olympian and a lone participant came out with a bronze medal that too only fourteen seconds behind hold record. You can imagine the outcome if there was a team.
