The results of the Russian participation in the Olympic Games.


    Summer Olympic Games results:

    The most successful results were in Atlanta in 1996 and in Sydney in 2000 where Russia took the second places. The third places were taken in Аthens in 2004 and in Beijing in 2008. In London 2012 Russia took the fourth place. The  largest number of golden medals were earned in Sydney (32) and the fewest number in Beijing (23).The total number of medals from 1996 to 2012 is 397.

     Winter Olympic Games results:

      In 1994 in Lillehammer Russia took the first place with 11 golden medals. It was the greatest result for Russia although there were only 113 athletes. A good result was achieved in Nagano in 1998 (4-th place) and in Turin in 2006 (5-th place). Only in Vancouver in 2010 Russia took the 11-th place with 15 medals, but it is not the fewest number in this year.
     
       The results of the Winter Olympic Games in Sochi:
     
       Now Russia is on the 6-th place with 5 medals.Golden medal was earned by Julia Lipnitskaya and Evgeni Plushenko.
     
       I wish Russia to achieve great results in Sochi Olympic Games!
