The only thing I can think of is: ducks. For some kind of shooting event. I would have no clue as to what year.

Hmmm, well didn't Spain host it recently - I'm thinking 2004? Oh, wait, maybe that was Seoul.... I immediately thought of Olympic bullfighting. Could such a thing exist?

My only other thought was Olympic fishing of some sort.

Ducks or some other bird makes sense since shooting has been a Olympic event for a long time.

Is this a trick question? Were they ever made from gold?

I'll guess the Summer Olympics right before WWII broke out, so 1936.

Sticking with the Olympics theme: Which country has won at least one gold medal in every Summer Games?

It's small indeed, and democratic, but not the one that's the smallest.
