With the start of the Summer Olympics, the attention of millions of people around the world is riveted to the medal rating of the Olympic teams. Achievements of athletes fill the hearts of fans with pride.
The current Summer Olympics is anniversary - it is the thirtieth in a row since 1986. The London Games are also record-breaking in the number of sports - medals are played in 39 disciplines. For the first time in history, female boxers compete, and tennis hosts Olympic mixed-race competitions.
The Olympics took place until August 12. Every day brings new rewards to the piggy banks of 204 states, forming Olympic team rating. Leadership in the number of medals is a reason for pride not only for athletes, but also for the nation as a whole. The Russians, no doubt, have every reason to hope that the 2012 Olympics rating will clearly reflect the high achievements of our athletes. As part of the Russian national team, 286 athletes traveled to London: 228 women and 208 men from 59 regions. The average age of our team is 26 years.
The successes of each team are evaluated according to two criteria: the total number of medals and the number of gold awards. The traditional favorites of the games are the teams of the USA and China, although the hosts of the Olympics, the UK team, show really excellent results this year. The teams of South Korea, France, Italy and Germany perform well.
Russia in the Olympic ranking For all the years of his performance at the Summer Games, he has always been one of the three leaders in the sum of medals and the number of gold awards.
In addition, the current Olympics was designed to smooth out the unpleasant sediment from the 6th place won by our athletes at the 2010 Winter Games.
Among summer disciplines, Russians traditionally show outstanding results in athletics, rhythmic and artistic gymnastics, tennis, synchronized swimming, basketball and handball.
Sports experts predicted that Russia at the end of the Games will fight for third place in the number of gold medals. In our piggy bank there were 24 awards of the highest dignity. The main competitor of Russians is the UK team.
