A bronze medal, the nation's first Olympic medal, was won by female trap shooter Alessandra Perilli. With this San Marino became the smallest country, by population, ever to have won any Olympic medal.[2] Just two days later, on 31 July, Perilli and Gian Marco Berti won the country's second medal, a silver in the mixed trap shooting event. San Marino then took home its third medal on August 5, with Myles Amine winning bronze in the 86 kg freestyle wrestling event. With 5 competitors in 4 sports, San Marino won the most overall medals per population.[3]
