PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) — Kosovo is sending eight athletes to its first Olympics.
The Kosovo Olympic Committee introduced the eight on Tuesday; two swimmers, two judokas, two in athletics, one shooter, and a cyclist.
Kosovo gained membership of the IOC in December 2014.
Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, but Serbia does not recognize it.
It also became a member of FIFA and UEFA this year, and will compete in 2018 World Cup qualifying.
