The National Olympic Committee for Samoa was created in 1983 and recognized by the International Olympic Committee that same year.

Samoa was retroactively awarded its first medal at the 2008 Games in Beijing after originally finishing fourth in the women's +75 kg category in weightlifting, as the silver and bronze medallists were stripped of their medals in 2016 for doping.

gollark: I may need to replace my phone at some point soon because the battery is degraded horribly and it's not replaceable, and it looks like basically all newish phones, even cheap ones, have trendy but impractical things like non-rectangular screens, non-replaceable batteries, metal cases, and that sort of annoying thing.
gollark: How would you actually make it? It seems to just be some diamonds magically stuck together.
