July 12 (Reuters) - Golfer Siddikur Rahman has become Bangladesh's first athlete to qualify for an Olympics after finishing 56th in the final eligibility rankings for the Rio Games.
Bangladesh has been given four wild card spots for next month's Games so far, with swimmers Mahfizur Rahman Sagor and Sonia Akter Tumpa, archer Shyamoly Roy and shooter Abdullahel Baki set to represent their country in Rio.
The International Golf Federation published the final Olympic rankings on its website on Monday, with Rahman's position enough to qualify for Rio when golf makes it return to the Games for the first time since 1904.
