The world’s youngest nation will send three athletes to compete in this year’s summer games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

世界上成立时间最短的国家将派三名运动员前往巴西里约热内卢参加今年的夏季奥运会。

Runner Santino Kenyi, 16, will compete in the 1500 meter race.

16岁的长跑运动员桑提诺·肯伊将参加1500米比赛。

"I really feel proud and I’m really very happy for the first time as we are representing our nation," said Kenyi, who knows he is making history for his country.

“第一次代表我们的国家参赛，我觉得非常骄傲和高兴。”知道自己将为祖国创造历史的肯伊如是说。

Although this is the first time South Sudan has sent an official team, it’s not the first time a South Sudanese has competed in an Olympic games.

虽然这是南苏丹第一次正式派队参加奥运会，但却不是南苏丹人第一次参加奥运会。

In 2012, South Sudanese runner Guor Mading Maker took 47th in the marathon at the London summer games. But he ran under an Olympic flag because South Sudan wasn’t yet recognized by the International Olympic Committee.

2012年，南苏丹长跑选手古尔·梅丁·梅克在伦敦奥运会上获得了马拉松比赛的第47名。不过他当时是在奥运旗下跑的，因为当时国际奥委会还没有正式承认南苏丹。
