What a medal count in the Olympics. The richest countries in Olympic gold
Russian national team at the 2018 Olympics, medals: what place does Russia have in terms of medals in 2018 - read about this in the material.
What place did Russia take in medals at the 2018 Olympics?
In Pyeongchang, South Korea, the XXIII Winter Olympic Games came to an end, during which a record 102 sets of medals were awarded in 15 disciplines.
Athletes from 30 countries won awards, and athletes from the Russian Olympic team, as our team was called at these Games, took 13th place in the overall medal standings.
Last December, the IOC suspended the Russian Federation from participation in the Olympics, but allowed a number of our athletes to compete in competitions under a neutral flag. During the closing ceremony, as was the case at the opening of the 2018 Olympics, our athletes were not allowed to walk under the national tricolor.
How many medals does Russia have at the 2018 Olympics?
At the end of the 2018 Olympics, Russian athletes won 17 awards - two gold, six silver and nine bronze medals.
Olympic medal standings 2018: table
Our athletes have won 17 awards. Two of them, the highest denomination - gold, were brought to the country by figure skater Alina Zagitova, who was called the very discovery of the season, because the girl managed to surpass even the famous Evgenia Medvedeva in the technique of performing numbers. Also, unexpectedly for themselves, the hockey players won gold - the team has not won first place at the Olympics since the times of the USSR, and therefore the current victory was perceived by society almost as a real feat.
We have six silver awards.
Silver was won by: skiers Andrey Larkov, Alexander Bolshunov, Alexey Chervotkin and Denis Spitsov (4x10 km relay), Bolshunov in the 50 km race, Spitsov and Bolshunov in the team sprint, figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva (women's singles), Russian national figure skating team team competitions (Medvedeva and Zagitova, Mikhail Kolyada, Evgenia Tarasova/Vladimir Morozov, Natalya Zabiyako/Alexander Enbert, Ekaterina Bobrova/Dmitry Solovyov), skeletonist Nikita Tregubov.
The country has nine bronze medals.
Bronze medalists were: skiers Natalya Nepryaeva, Yulia Belorukova, Anastasia Sedova, Anna Nechaevskaya (4x5 km relay), Belorukova (individual sprint), Spitsov (15 km individual race), Larkov (50 km race), Bolshunov (individual sprint) , freestylers Ilya Burov (ski acrobatics) and Sergei Ridzik (ski cross), speed skater Natalya Voronina (5000 meters), short track speed skater Semyon Elistratov (1500 meters).
The IOC made an official statement that the medals will not be given back to Russia as such - they all belong to athletes from Russia, and the country’s participation in the Olympics will not go down in history in any way.
Athletes from Norway undoubtedly took first place in terms of the number and value of awards. The guys took home 14 gold, 14 silver and 11 bronze medals. Germany was in second place - here the number of medals is 14-10-7. In third place was Canada with medals in the ratio 11-8-10.
The top ten most “awarded” countries also included athletes from the USA, the Netherlands, Sweden, South Korea, Switzerland, France, Austria. By the way, in terms of the number of awards, the Russians caught up with the holders of seventh place, Korea, but the hosts of the Olympics had much more gold medals.
Almost half of Russian medals - eight out of 17 - were earned by skiers. On Saturday, February 24, Alexander Bolshunov and Andrey Larkov became silver and bronze medalists in the marathon. Previously, Denis Spitsov won bronze in the individual freestyle race, Bolshunov took bronze in the individual sprint classic style. Both won silver in the team sprint, and together with Larkov and Alexey Chervotkin, a similar medal in the relay. Russian Yulia Belorukova won bronze in the individual sprint in the classical style, as well as the women's relay team (Natalia Nepryaeva, Yulia Belorukova, Anastasia Sedova, Anna Nechaevskaya).
Thus, the team of Russian skiers earned more medals at the 2018 Games than the combined Olympic teams of Hungary, Ukraine, Belgium, Kazakhstan, Latvia, and Liechtenstein, who each had one medal each various types sports
Several athletes were caught doping during the Olympics. Among them are two Russians. Traces of meldonium were found in the body of curling player Alexander Krushelnitsky. The athlete denied the fact of deliberate use of doping, but also refused to fight for justice. At the hearings in Sportivny arbitration court(CAS) he decided not to participate, resulting in CAS canceling the hearing itself. As a result, Krushelnitsy parted with the bronze medal, which he won with his wife Anastasia Bryzgalova in double mixed doubles. It was handed over to the Norwegian pair, who lost to the Russians in the match for third place.
The intense 2018 Olympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea are over. The medal table has been finalized today. The leaders and outsiders of the medal standings have already been determined.
For Russia, these Winter Games turned out to be difficult. They were accompanied by scandals and disqualifications. What can we say if the IOC even banned Russian symbols - the flag - at the 2018 Olympics.
It was difficult, but Russian athletes proved in practice that even the second team of our team is worthy of respect and should be taken seriously - two gold medals were added to the treasury of the Russian team. Thanks to these awards, our country did not remain “in the back” and took 13th position in the medal table. In the future, undoubtedly, the experience gained by our young athletes will be useful to them, and they will show what real triumph is.
