For the first time in the last 20 years Russia was not among the top three at summer Olympic games. Russian athletes won 23 gold medals, behind the USA with 46, China with 38 and the UK with 29. Russia scored five medals less than the host of the London Olympics and was not among the top three as a result of the London Olympics for the first time in the last 20 years. Russia has not experienced such embarrassment for a long time since independence. Shame on Russia and shame on Putin, he lost the Olympics.
How many gold medals did Russia win?
GREAT JOB KAZAKHSTAN! KEEP IT UP! HURRAY! HURRAY! HURRAY!
We are proud of our countrymen when they win! Worthy of respect are their rivals! But why do they always hoist crumpled flags at the awards ceremony? In my opinion, this is a flagrant breach of international protocols and a symbol of disrespect for the world community.
