With its track and field athletes banned from the 2016 Olympic Games, Russia could be excused for not looking back at Rio with any great fondness. However, the event still provided some memorable moments for the sporting powerhouse.
With 19 gold, 18 silver and 19 bronze medals, Russia finished fourth in the standings, behind the US, Great Britain and China.

It was the worst Olympic games results for Russia ever, it lost 1/3 of its potential winners due to the ban, while...

"after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) admitted it was unsure how long the substance – which was only banned this year – stayed in the body."

another legend Isinbaeva
"...was barred from competing in Rio following a blanket ban on the Russian track and field team..."
and so on...

I wonder what a pale parody the Games would be if Russia was banned at all.

Sorry, but you sound like Leni Riefenstahl at the 1936 Berlin games....

Who cares how many medals, unless there is a political agenda! "Hey! ...Look at us...!" Our Communist/Fascist government is the wave of the future!"

The West is disgusting, as usual. Failing to ban the whole Russian olympic team now they try to make revenge at disabled persons who find courage to be an athlete..

Removing a strong rival? Russia shocked by ‘cynical & political’ CAS ruling on Paralympic team ban

Does Russia knows that cheating isn't allow in the Olympics?
Apparently not.

Drydge, may I ask you a question? I just wonder. You support Trump, don't you? And you are one of the most Russophobic members here. While Trump is allegedly pro-Russian and pro-Putin, at least his opponents claim so. And he really seem not to be a fanatic and seems not to have prejudice and is ready to search for some common ground. And all this really can be called pro-Russian by people like you.
How all this lives together in your head, how can you support Trump while he is a "Russia's darling"? :)
