EVENT: Get My Name Straight!

 Welcome to today's event.
Below, you will find a large collection of single names - scrambled (3 or 4 to a line) and in no particular order.    Your task is to sort through the names and find 25 combinations that are the real names of athletes competing in Rio 2016.   All final names consist of  2 or 3 names from the list. (There are no single name answers and no four or more name answers.)   There WILL be names leftover when you are done with your full list.  Pay special attention to spelling - all of the names below ARE spelled correctly for the names they are intended to be used in.

Example:
PHELPS          EMILY           POULSON
     MICHAEL     FLANNIGAN

1.   USA:   Michael Phelps

NOW for our set of rules:
1.  On a separate email back to me, with the subject:  Get My Name Straight, (your e-country), make a numbered list (1-25).
2.  Once you have unscrambled the names, you must list their COUNTRY and then the unscrambled Olympian's name.
3.  Your final list must be in alphabetical order by country name.  The list will only use the short version of all country names.   (i.e. China will just be listed as China, not 'People's Republic of....')
4.  ANY hyphenated names on the list below count as ONE name for the purpose of this competition and should NOT be separated.
5.  No entries will be accepted after 7pm EDT.
6.   Each line is worth 1 point for a total possible score of 25 points.   The fastest response with 25 points will receive gold, the next fastest the silver and the next the bronze.  If there are no 25 point entries, the fastest response with 24 points will take the gold, and so on and so forth.  
7.  The quicker your response and the more correct your answers, the higher your chances of bringing home the gold.

Now....go 'Get My Name Straight'!
