– The team is preparing, and suddenly 10 days before departure the players change! Those who have not undergone training are invited,” the legendary coach comments on the situation to the publication “Sport Day by Day,” “for example, setter Evgenia Startseva, who has been in the national team for 10 years, is removed, Irina Voronkova is invited. I don’t understand how you can take unprepared people and immediately throw them into battle?

– Am I ready to lead the Russian team? – Nikolai Karpol continues to answer questions. - What are you doing?! I left 12 years ago. I was 66 years old then. Now I’m already 78. I can really imagine what kind of strength working in the Russian national team requires. Nobody filmed me. I left myself. He announced his retirement after the final match in Athens. Who will be the coach is none of my business. We have a federation. If they consult with me about who is suitable for this role, then I will speak out. But I can’t suggest anyone.

A total of 12 sets of medals were awarded on the first day - in weightlifting, swimming, shooting and archery, fencing, road cycling and judo.

In addition to the Australians, the Hungarians won two gold medals, but the Australians also have a bronze, so they are in first place.

The first set of medals was awarded in shooting: American Virginia Thrasher won the 10-meter air rifle event. In the men's air pistol shooting, the hosts won their first medal at the Olympics: Felipe Almeida won silver, losing only to Vietnamese Hoang Xuan Vinh.

The judokas competed for two sets of awards on Saturday. In addition to the men's category up to 60 kg, the winners in the category up to 48 kg for women were determined. Here the Argentinean Paula Pareto excelled.

The epee fence competition ended in a sensation: the tournament favorite, Italian Rosella Fiamingo, lost to the Hungarian athlete Emesha Szasz in the final. Ten seconds before the end of the final match, the Italian was in the lead, but lost the advantage and lost.

The Belgian Gren van Avermaet took the lead in the group road race. This was Belgium's first gold in 20 years.

The day ended with a swimming competition. Four sets of medals were played in the Olympic pool. The main heroes of the day were the Hungarian Katinka Hosszu and the Australian women's team, who won their heats - the 400 m medley and the 4x100 m freestyle relay - with a world record.

And this was the last competition for today. Olympic Rio goes into the night, competitions will continue tomorrow at 14:30 Moscow time.

Swimming

Another world record! The Australians won the 4x100 freestyle relay with the fastest time in the world. Second place goes to the USA, third place to Canada.

Hungary, by the way, came out on top in the overall standings. So far it is the only country to win two gold medals.

Swimming

Brilliant swim by Katinka Hosszu! She didn't just win, she set a world record! She swam the 400m medley in 4:26.36. By the way, this is only the first Olympic medal for Hossu. Maya Dirado from the USA won silver at this distance, and Mireya Belmonte (Spain) won bronze.

Swimming

A very dramatic final in the men's 400m freestyle! Mack Horton won a touch against Sun Yan and Australia's first gold! Italian Gabriele Detti finished third.

A minor sensation in tennis. Venus Williams was eliminated from the tournament. The American lost to Belgian tennis player Kirsten Flipkens. However, Venus is not Serena: her defeats are not so unexpected.

Swimming

The first Olympic champion in swimming is known! Kosuke Hagino won the 400m individual medley. The second was the American Chase Kalish, the third was another Japanese Daiya Seto. The Japanese have now surpassed the Russian team in the overall standings: the Russians have one gold, and the Japanese also have four (!) bronzes.

Swimming

Now there are only swimming competitions left. Four sets are being played out in the pool today.

Volleyball

The Russian women's volleyball team started with a victory at the Olympic tournament: the Russians defeated the Argentine team in three sets.

Weightlifting

The first weightlifting competition has ended. In the category up to 48 kg, the winner was Sopita Tanasan. Sri Wahni Agustiani (Indonesia) took second place, and Japanese Miyake Hiromi took third place.

Basketball

Dream Team started with a confident victory over the Chinese - 119:62. Judging by the composition of the American team, the time for “uncertain” victories may not come.

Swimming

Russian Daria Ustinova will be able to compete at the Olympics. CAS acquitted the athlete, so she is already receiving Olympic accreditation and moving into the Olympic village. This is reported by

The standings for the 2016 Olympics show that Russia is now in fifth place in the ranking; previously the country was in seventh place. Russia's medals in Rio at the moment are 3 gold, 6 silver and 3 bronze medals.

Kommersant writes that the second gold medal, which 22-year-old debutant Khasan Khalmurzaev won for Russia in judo, was one of those expected.

Khasan Khalmurzaev previously won the June European Championship in Kazan; in the final, he effortlessly dealt with the famous world champion from Georgia Avtandil Chrikishvili.

“Weight up to 81 kg is one of the most competitive weights in Russia, so the coaches decided until the last moment who would go to Rio: me or the bronze medalist of the London Games Ivan Nifontov,” recalls Khasan Khalmurzaev. “I felt that the choice will fall on me, but before the official announcement of the lineup on June 30, I forbade myself to rejoice. Already here Ezio Gamba told me not to think that the Olympic tournament was anything special. “Have you prepared? So don’t worry, go out and fight as best you can.”

Khasan Khalmurzaev, whose nationality interests many today, comes from Nazran, Ingushetia.

In the final, the Russian athlete fought with Travis Stevens, an American judo veteran who came fifth in London. The American initially sought to make the most of his signature wrestling on the ground. But it soon became obvious that this trick would not work for him, after which Khalmurzaev very competently managed the situation that arose: taking the upper hold, he finished off Travis Stevens, securing a clear victory for himself.

“Everything worked out, and there is no limit to joy. “Mine and all the people involved in this victory - specialists and relatives, who prepared and believed in me,” the Olympic champion told reporters. “The Olympic tournament cannot be compared with ordinary tournaments. After all, everyone prepared for it with precision, and first of all psychologically. And with the American, by the way, he is a good and very strong guy, I already fought and beat him in January. So I knew roughly what to expect from him.”

Judoist Khalmurzaev brought Russia its third gold at the Rio Olympics. Beslan Mudranov, judo, won the first gold on the first day of the competition, the third gold medal was won by Yana Yegoryan, fencing.

How many medals did Russia win in Rio?

The Rio 2016 medal standings show that Russia has risen from 7th to 5th place in the overall medal standings. In terms of the total number of awards (12), the Russians take fourth place.

Russia's medals in Rio at the moment are 3 gold, 6 silver and 3 bronze.

Olympics 2016, medal standings

Now the US team is in first place (nine gold medals). The second place is taken by the Chinese team (eight gold medals), followed by representatives of Hungary (four gold medals).

On the fourth day of the competition, the medal table for the 2016 Olympics was replenished for Russia with two medals. The first was brought by Khasan Khalmurzaev, the second by the women's artistic gymnastics team. The girls were able to repeat the success of the men's team and took silver.

The 2016 Olympics, whose medals are counted among fans around the world, however, disappointed the Russians the day before. Swimming was a disappointment. Not to say that our swimmers were favorites in any of the events of the program, but they could take at least one medal out of the four sets that were competed. And if in the women's 200 m freestyle and men's 200 m butterfly the Russians did not even make it to the finals, then in the men's freestyle relay, where Danila Izotov, Alexander Krasnykh, Nikita Lobintsev and Mikhail Dovgalyuk performed, illusory hope remained until the very end. end, writes Gazeta ru.

The Russian four made it to the final with the third time and seriously claimed bronze during the decisive swim, but could not keep up the pace and finished the relay in fifth place. The Americans became champions, the British team snatched silver at the very end, bronze went to the Japanese.

The real hero of the day was the great swimmer Michael Phelps, who earned two more gold medals for victories in the 200-meter butterfly and relay and became a 21-time Olympic champion.

Diary of the 2016 Olympics, medal standings, will be updated today. On the fifth day of the competition, 20 sets of awards will be drawn.

Olympics in Rio de Janeiro 2016. Medal standings as of 08/12/2016. How many medals does Russia have? Diary of the Olympics

1. USA – 36 (14-12-10)

2. China – 29 (11-8-10)

3. Japan – 21 (7-1-13)

1. I slept through Efimova’s swim at night. Gold?

No, swimmer Yulia Efimova again brought silver to the Russian team. She fought with her rivals to the last, but in the end she lost to the Japanese and overtook the Chinese. The situation in the pool has already become better for Efimova: there is less criticism and whistling, more positive emotions. The four-time world champion once again proved her worth at the highest level. There is a suspicion that the decision of the Court of Arbitration for Sport to admit Efimova to the Rio 2016 Olympics is one of the most appropriate and correct in the endless history of doping.

By the way, Efimova’s swimming medals did not end on August 12; the initiative was supported by 19-year-old Evgeniy Rylov, who won bronze in the 200-meter backstroke. Rylov is a native of the city of Novotroitsk, Orenburg region. Rylov is a bronze medalist at the World Championship, three-time champion of the Youth Olympic Games. The father of the Olympic bronze medalist is a footballer who once played for the Yekaterinburg Uralmash and Nosta from Novotroitsk.

2. We win medals in gymnastics. This is encouraging.

There hasn't been a day in gymnastics without a medal. Team competitions are over, individual competitions have begun. Seda Tutkhalyan and Aliya Mustafina were in the leading group after three rounds, but exercises on the balance beam buried our hopes for a medal of the highest standard. On this apparatus, both Mustafina and Tutkhalyan made a decent number of mistakes - and in the end they let the Americans go ahead, who left no chance for their rivals in the floor exercise.

As a result, Mustafina won bronze, who after the competition told reporters that she once had the thought of not competing at the Olympics.

“Now my goal is to continue to perform with dignity,” Mustafina said. – I never wanted to be a coach. I devoted so much time to the gym that after finishing my career I wouldn’t want to spend as much time in the gym. You need to finish the competition, then go home, rest and think about what to do next.

3. Fettling. Again??

Again we missed the medals. On the sixth day, only judokas did not support the tradition. But the epee fencers in the team championship reached the semi-finals, but lost to the Romanians. Our girls got angry - and in the fight for third place they destroyed the Estonians. Olympic medalists were Violetta Kolobova, Tatyana Logunova, Lyubov Shutova and Olga Kochneva.

4. Team sports. How are we doing?

On the next competition day, the volleyball players did not disappoint: the men's team beat Egypt with a devastating score and practically guaranteed themselves a place in the playoffs.

2 Olympic match records

– 54 minutes: the fastest match in the history of the Games

– 25:9 – the most devastating score in the Olympic history of volleyball games

The water polo players were revived: after the defeat in the first match inflicted by the Australians (4-14), Alexander Gaidukov’s team coped with the Brazilians. Final score: 14-7. For reference: water polo players from Brazil are at the Olympics for the first time; any opponent in the playoffs in the match against our team will be considered a favorite.

5. Michael Phelps won his 22nd Olympic gold medal and broke a 2,000-year-old record.

No comments.

6. Terrible injury of an Armenian weightlifter. It was something...

Yes, Andranik Karapetyan was one of the favorites. After the snatch, Karapetyan was second, but everything ended in the clean and jerk.

It was not possible to lift a barbell weighing 195 kg on the first attempt, but the second shocked everyone: the athlete’s elbow twisted out and a scream was heard. Karapetyan, screaming, left the hall, accompanied by doctors. The nature of the injury has not yet been reported.

7. A Russian swimmer was robbed...Is it serious?

The robbers got their hands on Evgeny Korotyshkin, silver medalist at the London Olympics.

– Today, on my way to a restaurant for lunch in the Ipanema beach area, I was robbed by two unknown men with weapons. I hasten to report that everything is fine with me. We parted ways amicably. I give them everything out of my pockets in exchange for an exciting story for posterity. Not expensive. But it’s exciting,” Korotyshkin wrote on his Instagram.

8. What's funny, what's interesting?

Ethiopian swimmer Robel Quiros Habte came into the spotlight. Quiros weighs 179 pounds (approximately 81 kg). According to him, the car accident was to blame for everything - before it, Robel was in good shape. Not everyone was charmed by the Ethiopian's appearance: whale is the softest of his new nicknames.

At the Rio Olympics, Quiros swam the 100m in 1:04.95. The winner's result is 47.58 seconds.

Diary of the Olympics in Rio 2016.

The XXXI Summer Olympic Games will be held from August 5 to August 21, 2016 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. For the first time in history, the main sports forum of the four-year anniversary is being hosted by South America.

This Olympics will feature a record number of medal sets (306) with the participation of a record number of countries (206), including for the first time the citizens of Kosovo and South Sudan, as well as representatives of the refugee team, will take part - under the Olympic flag.

Compared to the 2012 Games in London, the program includes two new sports - golf and rugby sevens. Thus, the total number of disciplines will be 42.

Due to the huge doping scandal and subsequent sanctions, the participation of representatives of the Russian Federation in competitions was in question until recently. Strict selection criteria were introduced especially for domestic Olympians; instead of training, many of them had to engage in litigation.

As a result, our delegation lost all weightlifters and track and field athletes, except for jumper Daria Klishina, and the lion's share of rowers and cyclists.

271 Russian athletes made it to Rio, although the team’s initial application included 389 people.

At the previous Games - in Beijing 2008 and Athens 2004 - the Russians came third, and in London 2012 they missed out on this position to the hosts of the competition - the British.
