The Russian team has moved up one point in the medal standings at the Beijing Olympics. This happened thanks to the skier Alexander Bolshunov, who took the silver medal in the 15 km race in the classic style. He is Russia’s fourth silver at this Olympics.
Thanks to the success of Bolshunov, the Russian team returned to eighth place in the unofficial medal team standings. Russia managed to overtake Italy. To date, Russia has two gold medals, four silver medals and six bronze medals.
Italy during the last hours could return to eighth place in the medal standings, but biathlete Dorothea Wierer and speed skater Davide Ghiotto are bronze medalists in their disciplines, which is guided by their position in Russia. Italy has two golds, four silvers and four bronzes.
