Russia came out on top in the medal standings of the 2022 Winter Olympics through scandals and humiliation – when was this?
Through scandals and humiliation. Russia returned to first place in the medal standings of the Olympics
The last time our team was the first at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. But this leadership was not enough for us.
Let’s stop and fix a very important historical moment.
At the beginning of the third medal day of the Olympic Games – 2022 in Beijing, the Russian team is in first place in the medal standings: our team is the best, both in terms of the total number of awards won and in gold. We now have beautiful 2 – 2 – 2.
Yes, it seems to be a trifle. The whole Olympics is still ahead, almost a hundred sets of awards in the drawing, and, most likely, the Swedes are about to move us from the top line, the coverage is still completely gold. But after the victory of the skaters, we need to fix that we are in first place. The world needs to notice this!
Do you remember how the German publication Bild announced a boycott of Russia at the 2016 Olympics? By the way, our team still worked under its own flag. But the line with her medals in this German newspaper was simply crossed out. Didn’t order. They didn’t print.
Try it now. Ignore the medals of Russia!
It hasn’t been worse yet. The results of the performance of the Russian team at the Olympics
It was even worse in 2018. And it’s good that we were left without a flag and an anthem, it’s good that with the White Olympic flag and the faceless name “Olympic athletes from Russia”, so a number of leaders of our team were not taken to the Olympics. Why were they deprived of their Olympic dream?
Then it was easy to ignore Russia in the medal standings, because we didn’t have too many medals. Gold – only two: in women’s figure skating and hockey. Obviously, with the results, we were very, very far from the places.
“The UAR is like the USSR. Soon everything will fall apart and gather dust on the shelves.”
Do you remember the last time we were in first place in the medal standings? Presumably not difficult – on the last day of the Olympics in Sochi after the triumphant marathon, in that Russian skiers took the entire podium. Only in eight years we have been deprived of this. After the revision of the medal results of the Games in Sochi, we are no longer the first. And whether it is necessary to laugh, or cry from that, or it is easy to take away those labor awards from us.
Humiliation, not victory. Russia was given a reason to rejoice, but thrown out of international sports
And now we’re back in first place.
The Russian team went through scandals and humiliation, through trial and disqualification. Yes, she works under the ROC flag. Yes, I can’t listen to my anthem. But everyone celebrates and is pleased that today it is Russian athletes who are the best in the world.
Remember this moment.
