On the night of 21 to 22 August, the closing ceremony of the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio ended. For Russia, these games have become very difficult, one might say, scandalous. However, our athletes have overcome all the tests and were the fourth in the medal standings. And this is how the medal rating of the Olympics looks.

For the first time since 1976, the French won a team dressage( equestrian sport).With this victory a curious story is connected: one of the finalists Philippe Rosier is the son of Marcel Rozier, who was the Olympic champion in the French national team of the same sport in 1976.

2. Great Britain

The inhabitants of the foggy Albion were the strongest in the triathlon( they took both gold and silver), at a distance of 5 thousand meters, rowing in quadruple and eights competitions and in equestrian sport in a personal contest.
1. USA
Total 121 medals: 46 gold, 37 silver and 38 bronze
The US team leads the top 10 medal list of the 2016 Olympics. At the same time American athletes made very strange concessions. For example, the appeal jury allowed the women's part of the US team to run again the qualification of the relay for 4 to 100 meters. This decision was made after the statement of the runner Ellison Felix that the rival pushed her, making Felix unable to pass the baton. On the Web, jokes are already on the topic "next time give the Americans all the gold and let them go home."
