They then paid a visit to the Olympic Museum in Lausanne. 

The Central African Republic first appeared at the Summer Olympics in Mexico City in 1968.

They then missed the next three editions in Munich, Montreal and Moscow, but have competed at every Summer Games since Los Angeles 1984.

At Rio 2016, the country sent six athletes to compete in athletics, boxing, swimming and taekwondo.

They are still awaiting their first Olympic medal of any colour.
