Russian sportsmen results at The Olympics
ReplyDeleteSpeaking about place among other teams, our coutry showed the best result in 1994 winter games in Lillehammer. As for summer games, we have the second place even two times successively in 1996 (Atlanta) and 2000 (Sydney).
As regards sports, the most successful in number of medals were athletics at summer Olympic games and cross-country skiing at winter ones. However, the best results were shown in synchronized swimming, because the biggest number of feasible medals were given to Russia.
To conclude, I suppose that russian sportmen showed rather high results at all Olympic games and most of us are proud of it
Post in your blogs. You understood everything ;з
DeleteThank you very much for your feedback.
DeleteOlympic Games approaching , and before they start I want to analyze the results of our Russian team. If we talk about the Winter Games that were most successful in 1994 , we have received 23 medals in total. 11 of them gold, 8 silver and 4 bronze . 11 gold medals for Russia is the best result at the moment. But still ahead of the Olympic Games in Sochi . In total we have 91 medals at the Winter Olympics . Figure skating ( 14 gold ) Cross Country Skiing ( 16 gold ) Biathlon ( 11 gold ) . In conclusion, I want to wish all our participants in the Olympic Games of luck and great achievements ...!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot. You are a true supporter of our country.
DeleteIf you look at the statistics, you will see that Russia has shown the best result at the Winter Olympics in Norway in 1994. 23 medals , 11 of them gold - a decent result. Worst result Russian team showed in Salt Lake City in the United States . As for the Summer Olympics , the best figure in Athens , the worst - in Atalanta .
ReplyDeleteBut it is in the past . The Olympic Games in Sochi - the first Olympic Games in the history of modern Russia , the first Winter Olympics in the subtropics in the history of the Olympics. Russia always took medals in hockey, figure skating and ski sports. And the Sochi Olympics - is no exception . It's time to prove to ourselves that we are the best! Forward Russia!
Great! Very emotional and loyal to our country.
DeleteI want to analyze Olympics results of Russian team.
ReplyDeleteSo let’s start with team of Russian empire. The first and the last gold medal they won in 1908 in London. 3 silver medals they won in wrestling. They haven’t medals in sailing at all.
Then I want to tell you about the Soviet Union team. They ranked first in the medals count 6 times at summer games, and seven times at winter games. The most successful in number of medals were gymnastics (summer games) and cross-country skilling (winter games). The worst were field hockey, only 2 bronze and alpine skiing,only 1 bronze.
Now let’s analyze unified team. They were the best in 1994 in Lillehammer. And the worst result they show in 2010 in Vancouver. The most successful also athletics (summer games) and cross country skiing (winter games)
At the end I want to say that I believe that in Olympics games in Sochi we would take all gold medals, and rank first in the total number of medals.
Thanks a lot. It`s great that you mention all periods in history of our country.
