Medal standings at the Rio 2016 Olympics - online table now 08/21/2016:

Russian rhythmic gymnastics team in group all-around

Rio de Janeiro / website Based on the results of the last, 16th competition day, the Russian team retained 4th place in the unofficial team medal standings of the 2016 Olympic Games. On Sunday, August 21, Russian athletes replenished their total collection with 3 awards, 2 of which were gold medals, one was silver. The overall standings of the Russian National Team as of August 20 are 56 medals, of which 19 gold, 18 silver and 19 bronze medals.

This is the worst result in 20 years that Russia has been competing as a separate team at the Summer Games. However, it must be remembered that at this summer Olympics the IOC and the sports federation suspended almost all Russian track and field athletes; weightlifters and most of the rowing team were unable to participate in the competition.

Russia achieved victories in those sports that were not affected by doping scandals organized by international sports organizations against Russia, without evidence and with the application of collective responsibility to Russian athletes, even to those who were never involved in doping.

Although many athletes from other countries who were caught doping came and performed at the last Olympics, no one limited their rights, and all international sports and anti-doping the organizations remained silent. Let the bullying of Russian athletes remain on their conscience.

Although those who leave Rio in good mood, with a sense of accomplishment and a medal won, such a little thing as rain is unlikely to spoil the impression of the first Olympic Games in South America.

Medal count

Sputnik, Maria Tsimintia

Few doubted that the US team would win the overall team competition. In 1992, during the Games in Barcelona, the Americans took second place, losing to the united CIS team. Since then, they have consistently been among the leaders in the team standings. The only misfire happened in Beijing in 2008, where they lost leadership to the Chinese.

The British, who at the Games in Barcelona (1992) and Atlanta (1996) did not even make it into the top ten, but finished in the top ten in Sydney (2000) and Athens (2004), became second.

Until the penultimate day of competition, Russia waged a desperate struggle with Germany for fourth place and ultimately managed to get ahead of its competitors, winning two more golds. The final medal of the highest dignity for the Russian national team was brought by freestyle wrestler Soslan Ramonov.

The Georgian national team won seven medals at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and, in terms of the total number of awards won, repeated the result of the London Games. However, it surpassed them in quality terms. Four years ago, Georgians climbed to the highest step of the podium only once. This time the Georgian anthem was played twice in Rio de Janeiro.

Georgian medalists of the XXXI Summer Olympic Games

Lasha Talakhadze (weightlifting, +105 kg)

Vladimir Khinchegashvili (freestyle wrestling, -57 kg)

Varlam Liparteliani (judo, -90 kg)

Lasha Shavdatuashvili (judo, -73 kg)

Irakli Turmanidze (weightlifting, +105 kg)

Shmagi Bolkvadze (Greco-Roman wrestling, -66 kg)

Geno Petriashvili (freestyle wrestling, -125 kg)

It is impossible not to note the amazing progress of the Azerbaijani Olympians, who won 18 medals (1-7-10) at the Games in Brazil. They exceeded the London figure by eight awards.

Heroes of the Olympics...

Swimmer Michael Phelps, who, for a moment, is already 31 years old, again “came, saw, conquered.” At the Rio Games, the American won five gold medals and became a 23 (!) time Olympic Champion. It is difficult to even imagine that anyone will even be able to approach such indicators in the near future.

Michael Phelps (USA), who won the gold medal in the men's 200m medley swimming, at the awards ceremony of the XXXI Summer Olympics.

Americans Katie Ledecky (swimming) and Simone Biles (gymnastics) were just behind Phelps, winning four golds each.

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt again won three gold medals: 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100 relay, becoming a nine-time Olympic Champion. At the last three Olympics, Bolt has consistently won these disciplines.

...and "heroes of the Olympics"

The US women's track and field team dropped the baton in the semifinals of the 4x100-meter relay and failed to qualify for the decisive race. The Americans filed an appeal, saying they were interfered with by the Brazilian athletes. The appeal was granted. The US team was allowed to run through the semi-finals in splendid isolation. During the re-run, they showed a better time than their rivals from China, and the latter were “asked” from the final. The appeal of the Asian athletes was not satisfied, and the Americans became Olympic Champions.

Georgian heroes of Rio

If we do not take into account the Georgian athletes who won medals at the Rio Games, then Georgia has other heroes who have won the hearts of fans not only in their homeland, but also in the world.

Canoeist Zaza Nadiradze was incredibly happy when he was able to qualify for the Olympics. I couldn't even dream of more. But Nadiradze performed well in qualifying and reached the semi-finals of the single canoe competition at a distance of 200 meters. In the semi-finals, he finished first, leaving behind the current Olympic Champion, Ukrainian Yuri Cheban, and four-time World and European champion Valentin Demyanenko. But in the finals, nervousness and lack of experience in participating in competitions of this rank took their toll. As a result, Nadiradze took fifth place, but won the hearts of thousands of fans.

Seoul Olympic Champion (1988) in pistol shooting Nino Salukvadze came to Rio for her eighth Games in her career. A unique achievement among women in this sport. Salukvadze was able to reach the finals of the competition, but in the end she was left without a medal. After completing her performances, she said that she would most likely be preparing for the Olympics in Tokyo - the ninth in a row.

David Kharazishvili became the first marathon runner in the history of Georgia to win a license for the Olympic Games. The Georgian athlete started well, but at the 25th kilometer he felt a sharp pain in his side. He didn’t run for almost two kilometers, he just walked and even thought about withdrawing from the race. However, he found the courage and crossed the finish line. In the end, he took 72nd place, but ended up in the first half of finishers and left 93 athletes behind him.

40 Georgian athletes went to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which is a record figure. For the first time in the history of independent Georgia, the country was represented in such sports as: women's weightlifting (Anastasia Gottfried), women's judo (Esther Stam), men's shot put (Benik Abrahamyan), women's high jump (Valentina Lyashenko).

Green water Rio

The water in the pool of the Rio de Janeiro aquatics center, where the diving competition was supposed to be held, suddenly turned green, which baffled even the technical staff. It later turned out that this was due to 160 liters of hydrogen peroxide accidentally poured into the pool. The substance neutralized chlorine, which promoted the growth of “organic compounds,” including, possibly, seaweed. Despite the fact that the water did not pose a threat to the health of the athletes, it still had to be replaced.

On the penultimate day at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, the Russian team won five medals, four of which were gold. This allowed the Russian team to move to fourth place in the unofficial medal standings, practically guaranteeing this position at the end of the competition.
