Overall result of the Olympiad.

August 14, 2016.

On the ninth day of the competition, Russian athletes won 3 gold, 2 silver and 2 bronze medals.

Greco-Roman wrestler Roman Vlasov (up to 75 kg), gymnast Aliya Mustafina (bars) and tennis players Ekaterina Makarova and Elena Vesnina (doubles) brought gold to Russia. Gymnast Maria Paseka (vault) and shooter Sergei Kamensky (rifle, 50m, three positions) won silver, cyclist Denis Dmitriev (individual sprint) and yachtswoman Stefania Elfutina (RS:X) won bronze.

Russia has the first medal in sailing since 1996. In the RS:X class (windsurfing), 19-year-old Stefania Elfutina won bronze.

The Frenchwoman Charlene Picon became the Olympic champion, the silver went to the Chinese Chen Payne.

Stefania Elfutina from the very first day, August 8, joined the fight for medals and never lost contact with the leaders. After the first day of competition, she was second, after half of the scheduled flights - third, a day later she was one point closer to the leader of the regatta - Flavia Tartaglini from Italy. According to the results of the penultimate racing day, Elfutina became the leader of the overall standings. Alas, after one of the numerous protests, Tartaglini got an extra point and caught up with Elfutina. And since she has a victory in one of the flights, and the Russian woman does not, the Italian has returned the leading position.

The line-up for the Medal Race, a "medal race" where all points are doubled, was as follows: Tartaglini - first (55 points), Elfutina - second (55), from third to fifth places were occupied by Chinese Chen, Frenchwoman Picon and Israeli Davidovich (60 points each). ). It turned out that in a bad scenario, the Russian woman could have been left without medals at all, especially considering that she scored all the points due to stability, never winning a single flight in the entire regatta.

Officially, the women's Medal Race in the "RS:X" class was supposed to start at 14:05 local time, but time passed, conflicting information came in, and nothing started. Finally at 15:35 the start was given. The wind was not strong - about 10 knots (15 is considered good). But a red flag was lit in front of Elfutina. All rivals went into the race, and the Russian woman had just started.

“I’m very ashamed, but I still don’t understand why I was given a warning,” Elfutin told reporters after Elfutina: “There are no complaints against the judges, which means she deserved it. But what exactly happened, I don't know right now."

Probably, only she knows that it cost her half an hour almost calm to rise from the last, tenth, to sixth place, overtaking the favorite, Tartaglini, and snatch this bronze: “I just thought that I had two options: give up and wait another four years or do something about it. And then I decided: no, four years is too much, I’ll try now.”

She was desperately "gliding", trying to accelerate and get far-gone rivals! Of course, it was lucky that the wind was very weak: Elfutina is good in such weather due to her physical strength, and this allows her to keep the board in “gliding” much longer than her rivals (she says that she calmly does 20-25 pull-ups, but maybe more).

Absolutely - this moment will go down in the history of our sailing.

Aliya Mustafina is a two-time Olympic champion.

She was ahead of her main rival American Madison Kochyan in the uneven bars exercise by 0.067 points. The bronze medalist was the German Sophie Scheder.

"Everything went well," Aliya said after the performance: "Moreover, I think it was my best combination of the four made at the Olympics. It turned out cleaner than the rest. I collected this combination when I arrived here in Rio. Trained from base 6, 5, but performed from a base of 6.8. Once I came to the gym and realized that I didn’t want to perform with a simple program, that I would gather all my strength and do a complex one.

In the all-around, I did not show my maximum on three shells at once - on the balance beam, on the uneven bars and in floor exercises. But on the other hand, it would be very difficult for me to overtake the Americans, only in case of their mistakes it was possible.

Gymnastics

The Russian women's gymnastics team won a silver medal in the team competition at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The main struggle ensued between the US and Russian teams. According to many fans, it was clearly visible that the judges sympathized with the American gymnasts. All marks were overestimated for athletes from the United States and exactly the opposite, all marks were underestimated for Russian gymnasts.

Thanks to the judges, after each type and passage of shells, the American gymnasts went ahead in terms of the number of points, while the Russian ones lagged behind. Although they performed at a very high level, and sometimes just excellent.

Because of this situation, until the very end of the competition, it was not clear whether our gymnasts would even be among the winners of the Olympiad in this type of competition. According to the estimates in each event, the Russian team was in 4-5 places until the very last - the jump. And only after summing up the final results, it turned out that the women's national gymnastics team of Russia took second place and won silver medals.

7. France

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

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

1. USA

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

Team USA tops the top 10 medal list for the 2016 Olympics. At the same time, very strange concessions were made to American athletes. For example, the Jury of Appeal allowed the U.S. Women's Team to run the 4 x 100m Relay qualification a second time. This decision was made after the statement of the runner Allison Felix that the opponent pushed her, which is why Felix could not pass the baton. Jokes are already circulating on the Web on the topic “next time give the Americans all the gold and let them go home.”

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

The final action on the main arena of Brazil was accompanied by a downpour, which slightly spoiled the mood of the participants in the "parade of heroes", spectators in the stands and the organizers of the ceremony. Although for those who leave Rio in good spirits, with a sense of accomplishment and a medal won, such a trifle as rain is unlikely to spoil the impression of the first Olympic Games in South America.

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

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

Russia until the penultimate day of the competition fought desperately with Germany for fourth place and eventually managed to get ahead of the competition, having won two gold more. Freestyle wrestler Soslan Ramonov brought the final medal of the highest dignity to the Russian national team.

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

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 (!) times Olympic Champion. It is difficult to even imagine that someone will even be able to approach such indicators in the near future.

...and "heroes of the Olympics"

Athletes of the US women's team in the semi-finals of the 4x100 meters relay dropped the baton and could not qualify for the decisive race. The Americans filed an appeal, stating that Brazilian athletes prevented them. The appeal was granted. Team USA was allowed to run the semi-finals in splendid isolation. During the second run, they showed the time better than that of 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 there are other heroes in Georgia who won the hearts of fans not only in their homeland, but also in the world.

Canoeist Zaza Nadiradze was extremely happy when he was able to qualify for the Olympics. More could not even be dreamed of. But Nadiradze successfully performed in the qualification and advanced to 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 Yuriy Cheban and four-time World and European champion Valentin Demyanenko. But in the final, nervousness and lack of experience in participating in competitions of this rank affected. As a result, Nadiradze took fifth place, but won the hearts of thousands of fans.

Seoul Olympic Champion (1988) in sport 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 final of the competition, but in the end she was left without a medal. After the completion of the performances, she said that she would most likely be preparing for the Tokyo Olympics - 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 had a good start, but on the 25th kilometer he felt a sharp pain in his side. For almost two kilometers, he did not run, but simply walked and even thought of withdrawing from the race. However, he found the courage and crossed the finish line. In the end, he took 72nd place, but was in the first half of the finishers and left behind 93 athletes.

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), shot put for men (Benik Abrahamyan), high jump for women (Valentina Lyashenko).

Green water Rio

The water in the pool of the water sports center in Rio de Janeiro, where the diving competition was supposed to take place, suddenly turned green, which baffled even the technical staff. Later it turned out that this was due to 160 liters of hydrogen peroxide accidentally poured into the pool. The substance neutralized chlorine, which contributed to the growth of "organic compounds", including, possibly, algae. Despite the fact that the water did not pose a threat to the health of the athletes, it still had to be replaced.
