Russia at the 2012 London Olympics
|
B11 |
There are different opinions as to the results of the Russian team at the London Olympics. In medal-winning terms, Russia’s 2012 performance is better than that at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, improving from 23 gold medals to 24 and up from a total of 73 medals to 82. |
Perform |
|
B12 |
But the British were more successful with 29 gold medals, moving Russia into the fourth place. |
Success |
|
B13 |
The reaction in Russian during the first days of the Olympics was largely negative, but then changed as more and more medals were won. |
Negation |
|
B14 |
Yet, we have to admit that in some ways our sportsmen were unlucky. For example, there were no gold medals in weightlifting this time, though we usually had had a number of them at the Olympics. |
Luck |
|
B15 |
Alexander Zhukov, president of the Russian Olympic Committee, explains China’s success is the following way: «They have actually copied the Soviet system of children’s training.» |
Train |
|
B16 |
He adds, «It is rather difficult for us to return to the Soviet system now and, besides, I doubt whether it is reasonable in this day and age.» |
