Notes

PyeongChang 2018 – pair of ski poles used by Yohan GOUTT GONCALVES (TLS). Yohan Goutt Goncalves made his Olympic debut representing Timor Leste at the 2014 Games in Sochi. In 1974, before Indonesia invaded the country, his family boarded a fishing boat in Dili and went to Darwin, in Australia. The 500 passengers arrived safely and the family obtained the status of refugees. Although he later lived and trained in France, Yohan worked on several humanitarian projects in Timor Leste.
