Who won the Olympic Games. 30. Women. France - Russia

On the night of August 21-22, the closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio ended. For Russia, these games have become very difficult, one might even say scandalous. However, our athletes overcame all the tests and ended up fourth in the medal standings. And this is what the Olympic medal ranking looks like.

10. Australia

There are 29 awards in total: 8 gold, 11 silver, 10 bronze.

On the first day of the Olympics, the Australians showed the best result in the 4 x 100 meter freestyle aquatic relay. The women's four set a world record of 3:30.65. However, it was not possible to maintain a vigorous medal pace until the end of the games; in the end, only 10th place.

9. Italy

The total number of medals is 28: 8 gold, 12 silver, 8 bronze.

Fabio Basile defeated the representative of South Korea in judo (weight up to 66 kg). One more gold medal foil player Daniele Garozzo, who was considered an outsider, will bring home, because his opponent was the vice-world champion in this discipline, American Alexander Massialas. And the Italians won as many as 4 gold medals in the discipline of shooting.

8. Korea

The total number of medals is 21: 9 gold, 3 silver and 9 bronze.

In the winter of 2018, the next Olympic Games will be held in Pyeongchang (a city in South Korea). The country's authorities have already promised to eliminate the language barrier that inevitably arises between participants in grandiose competitions. A number of scientific institutes and IT companies are already working on creating new programs for automatic translation.

7. France

There are 42 medals in total: 10 gold, 18 silver and 14 bronze.

For the first time since 1976, the French won in team dressage (equestrian sport). There is an interesting story connected with this victory: one of the finalists, Philippe Rosier, is the son of Marcel Rosier, who was an Olympic champion as a member of the French team in the same sport in 1976.

6. Japan

There are 41 awards in total: 12 gold, 8 silver and 21 bronze.

Japanese athletes took sixth place in the medal top 10. And Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike received the Olympic flag as the Japanese capital is set to host the 2020 Games.

5. Germany

There are 42 medals in total: 17 gold, 10 silver and 15 bronze.

Russia's longtime rivals in sports were unable to surpass our athletes in terms of the total number of medals. The highest awards were, in particular, won by canoeist Sebastian Brendel, in the 1000-meter singles and doubles, and kayakers Max Rendschmidt and Markus Gross, in the 1000-meter doubles and fours.

4. Russia

There are 56 awards in total, of which 19 are gold, 18 are silver and 19 are bronze.

A very pleasant surprise was the gold medal of our handball players, who managed to beat the Norwegians, who were considered favorites, and in the final match they defeated the strongest team from France. This is the first gold for handball since the 1980 home Olympics. And the famous “mermaids” Natalya Ishchenko and Svetlana Romashina carried the Russian banner at the closing of the Olympics.

3. China

There are 70 awards in total: 26 gold, 18 silver and 26 bronze.

For China, the Olympic Games in Rio were not without unpleasant surprises: the organizers of the games twice used their country's flag with incorrectly positioned stars. This happened at the awards ceremony for Chinese athletes, and then Chinese volleyball players.

2. UK

There are 67 medals in total: 27 gold, 23 silver and 17 bronze.

Residents of Foggy Albion turned out to be the strongest in triathlon (they took both gold and silver), at a distance of 5 thousand meters, rowing in fours and eights competitions and in equestrian individual competition.

1. USA

A total of 121 medals: 46 gold, 37 silver and 38 bronze

Team USA leads the top 10 on the 2016 Olympics medal list. At the same time, very strange concessions were made to American athletes. For example, the appeal jury allowed the US women's team to qualify for the 4 x 100 meter relay a second time. This decision was made after runner Allison Felix claimed that her opponent pushed her, causing Felix to be unable to pass the baton. There are already jokes circulating on the Internet about the topic “next time give all the gold to the Americans and let them go home.”

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.

2016 Olympics in Rio: Russian handball players became Olympic champions.

The women's handball team defeated the French in the Olympic tournament with a score of 22:19.

Let us note that Evgeniy Trefilov’s team did not suffer a single defeat at the Olympic tournament, and in the dramatic semi-final match they beat the reigning Olympic champions, the Norwegians, who had not lost for eight years.

Literally half an hour after the final whistle in handball, it became known that Russia would have two more golds - in rhythmic gymnastics and wrestling.

Olympics in Rio: Abdulrashid Sadulayev became the Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling in the weight category up to 86 kg. The two-time world champion confidently reached the final, allowing his opponents to score only one point in three fights. In the final bout, Abdulrashid defeated Selim Yashar from Turkey with a score of 5:0.

Bronze was won by Azerbaijani Sharif Sharifov, who lost to the Russian in the semifinals, and American Jayden Cox.

2016 Olympics in Rio: gymnast Mamun won Olympic gold in the individual all-around, Yana Kudryavtseva won silver.

In the individual all-around rhythmic gymnastics competition, the Russians performed so well that even before the end of the competition they guaranteed themselves medals, standing for their rivals. Based on the results of four types of the program, Mamun scored 76.483 points. Yana Kudryavtseva scored 75.608. Ukrainian gymnast Anna Rizatdinova (73.583) received bronze.

Russia has been undefeated in the individual all-around in rhythmic gymnastics since 2000. All that remains now is to defend the champion title in the group competition.

Literally another couple of minutes passed, and the Russian team’s piggy bank was replenished with another gold medal - won a gold medal at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in the pentathlon competition. Based on the sum of all types of the program, he scored 1479 points.

Silver went to Ukrainian Pavel Timoschenko (1472 points). Bronze - Mexican Ismael Marcelo Hernandez Uscanga (1468).

According to the results of the penultimate day of the competition, the Russian team rose and strengthened in fourth position medal standings, having 53 medals - 17 gold, 17 silver and 19 bronze. The USA is still in the lead with 116 medals (43-37-36). Next come the UK - 66 (27-22-17) and China - 70 (26-18-26).

The 31st Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro will occupy a special place in history. After the era of boycotts that remained in the 80s of the last century, each subsequent games were bigger and better than the previous ones, but in Brazil they pulled the brakes slightly.

The country simply failed to hold two of the most ambitious sports summits in a row, two years apart - the FIFA World Cup and the Olympic Games. Internal problems emerged like grass through the asphalt.

However, even the impeachment process against President Dilma Rousseff is nothing compared to what could have happened with the games themselves.

A unique case when the Olympic truce was needed by the sports world, and not by the warring parties. IOC President Thomas Bach actually declared this truce twice, but the war did not end, it was simply postponed for a short time.

It launched the mechanism of self-destruction of the entire Olympic movement, but at the very last moment it was stopped, for now. One of the most successful commercial and civilizational projects in the world is still under threat. The struggle for its purity can lead to the death of the patient himself - and then it will be the cleanliness of the morgue.

Football is unthinkable without Brazil, hockey without Canada, and the Olympics without Russia. Every Rocky Balboa needs an Ivan Drago. The gold medals from the Moscow and Los Angeles Games were devalued without competition between the main geopolitical rivals, so keeping our team at the games was as important to the IOC as it was to Russia. It is difficult to say how it would have ended if the blow struck against Russia had not rebounded on the IOC.

Paradoxical as it may seem, while destroying Russia’s sporting reputation, WADA, in alliance with the world’s media, did exactly the same thing with the authority of the IOC, and with its own, although this does not bother doping fighters at all. All these large-scale alleged scams that the head reported about independent commission Richard McLaren, first of all, is a deafening failure of this particular organization, which was unable to ensure the doping control process at the Olympic Games in Sochi.

It was WADA that signed a contract with a company that made invulnerable containers that supposedly could be opened, it was WADA that took over the room with holes in the wall, and WADA did not control who had access to this room and when. This is quite enough for him to resign, but the ranks of this chamber of inquisitors do not even think about it, moreover, they continue to make political statements, not without a share of narcissism and intoxication with their own role.

Judging by individual statements by authoritative members of the IOC, this is beginning to irritate thoroughly, especially since responsibility for the final product still lies with the IOC. If the revelations, disqualifications and trials do not stop, then the show itself will lose its meaning. No matter how cynical it sounds, competition organizers sell emotions and involvement in victory, and if the world is convinced that success is impossible without cheating, then who will pay for this surrogate?

WADA’s attack on Russian sports would have been impossible without support in the media. It was a well-established process according to a clear pattern - “stuffing - commission - sanctions - reaction in the press...”

As soon as the information trail from the next stuffing died down, a new one followed. For a year and a half, almost every day, the entire planet read, heard and watched opuses about how Russian athletes cheat and deceive. One of the main whistleblowers, German television journalist Hajo Seppelt, stretched out his epic over several episodes. With each new one there were fewer and fewer sensations, and more and more doubts about the veracity of the material, but the effect continued to work.

You can be ironic about the conspiracy theory as much as you like, but Seppelt somehow knows what is written in the addenda to the famous McLaren report, while IOC President Thomas Bach Additional information WADA refused to provide it with the astonishing comment “It’s not time yet.” The time will undoubtedly come, since the process in this case is more important than the result and it is far from finished. We expect clarifications to the report, additions to clarifications, and clarifications to additions, with inevitable continuation on screens and pages.

The goal of this informational Hiroshima has been partially achieved. People were convinced that collective responsibility is the norm, an athlete who has already served his disqualification should not participate in the Olympics, and the holder of a passport of a certain country must prove that he is not guilty, and in general it is better if he leaves his country and throws away this passport.

Make from Russian athletes The universally despised outcasts, of course, did not succeed, but a cool attitude was sometimes encountered. However, our team has found the best answer to various commissions and whistleblowers. Deprived of hundreds of elite athletes, under total control and in a zero-tolerance regime, the Russian team achieved a brilliant result, comparable to what was shown in Beijing and London.

This means that our athletes can and do win without any substitution of samples or cocktails of steroids and alcohol.
