As soon as one of the opponents gains obvious control over the other, the match is considered over.

The final action on the main arena of Brazil was accompanied by a downpour, which slightly spoiled the mood of the participants in the "parade of heroes", spectators in the stands and the organizers of the ceremony. Although those who leave Rio in good mood, with a sense of accomplishment and with a medal won, such a trifle as rain hardly spoiled the impression of the first Olympic Games in South America.

medal standings

Sputnik, Maria Tsimintia

Few doubted that the US team would win the team event. In 1992, during the Games in Barcelona, the Americans took second place, losing to the unified CIS team. Since then, they have consistently been among the leaders of the team standings. The only "misfire" happened in Beijing in 2008, where they lost the lead to the Chinese.

The British, who at the Games in Barcelona (1992) and Atlanta (1996) did not even get into the top ten, and closed it in Sydney (2000) and Athens (2004), became the second.

Until the penultimate day of the competition, Russia fought desperately with Germany for fourth place and eventually managed to get ahead of the competition, having won two gold more. Freestyle wrestler Soslan Ramonov brought the final medal of the highest dignity to the Russian national team.

The Georgian team at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro won seven medals and total won awards repeated the result of the London Games. However, it surpassed them in terms of quality. Four years ago, Georgians only once rose to the highest step of the podium. This time the Georgian anthem was played twice in Rio de Janeiro.

Georgian medalists of the XXXI Summer Olympic Games

Lasha Talakhadze (weightlifting, +105 kg)

Vladimir Khinchegashvili (freestyle wrestling, -57 kg)

Irakli Turmanidze (weightlifting, +105 kg)

Shmagi Bolkvadze (Greco-Roman wrestling, -66 kg)

Geno Petriashvili (freestyle wrestling, -125 kg)

It is impossible not to note the amazing progress of the Azerbaijani Olympians, who won 18 medals (1-7-10) at the Games in Brazil. They exceeded the London figure by eight awards.

Heroes of the Olympics...

Swimmer Michael Phelps, who, for a moment, is already 31 years old, again "came, saw, conquered." At the Rio Games, the American won five gold medals and became a 23 (!) times Olympic Champion. It is difficult to even imagine that someone will even be able to approach such indicators in the near future.

Michael Phelps (USA), winner gold medal in the men's 200m individual medley at the awards ceremony of the XXXI Summer Olympic Games.

American Kathy Ledecky (swimming) and Simone Biles ( gymnastics) were slightly behind Phelps, winning four gold each.

Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt again won three gold medals: 100 meters, 200 meters and 4x100 relay, becoming a nine-time Olympic Champion. At the last three Olympics, Bolt has consistently won in these disciplines.

...and "heroes of the Olympics"

Athletes of the US women's team in the semifinals of the 4x100 meters relay dropped the baton and could not qualify for the decisive race. The Americans filed an appeal, stating that Brazilian athletes prevented them. The appeal was granted. Team USA was allowed to run the semi-finals in splendid isolation. During the second run, they showed the time better than that of their rivals from China, and the latter were "asked" from the final. The appeal of the Asian athletes was not satisfied, and the Americans became Olympic Champions.

Georgian Heroes of Rio

If we do not take into account the Georgian athletes who won medals at the Rio Games, then there are other heroes in Georgia who won the hearts of fans not only in their homeland, but also in the world.

Canoeist Zaza Nadiradze was extremely happy when he was able to qualify for the Olympics. More could not even be dreamed of. But Nadiradze successfully performed in the qualification and advanced to the semi-finals of the single canoe competition at a distance of 200 meters. In the semi-finals, he finished first, leaving behind the current Olympic Champion Ukrainian Yuriy Cheban and four-time World and European champion Valentin Demyanenko. But in the final, nervousness and lack of experience in participating in competitions of this rank affected. As a result, Nadiradze took fifth place, but won the hearts of thousands of fans.

Seoul Olympic Champion (1988) in sport pistol shooting Nino Salukvadze came to Rio for her eighth Games in her career. A unique achievement among women in this sport. Salukvadze was able to reach the final of the competition, but in the end she was left without a medal. After the completion of the performances, she said that she would most likely be preparing for the Tokyo Olympics - the ninth in a row.

David Kharazishvili became the first marathon runner in the history of Georgia to win a license for the Olympic Games. The Georgian athlete had a good start, but on the 25th kilometer he felt a sharp pain in his side. For almost two kilometers, he did not run, but simply walked and even thought of withdrawing from the race. However, he found the courage and crossed the finish line. In the end, he took 72nd place, but was in the first half of the finishers and left behind 93 athletes.

40 Georgian athletes went to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, which is a record figure. For the first time in the history of independent Georgia, the country was represented in such sports as: women's weightlifting (Anastasia Gottfried), women's judo (Esther Stam), shot put for men (Benik Abrahamyan), high jump for women (Valentina Lyashenko).

Green water Rio

Water in the pool of the center aquatic species Sports in Rio de Janeiro, where the diving competitions were supposed to take place, suddenly turned green, which baffled even the technical staff. Later it turned out that this was due to 160 liters of hydrogen peroxide accidentally poured into the pool. The substance neutralized chlorine, which contributed to the growth of " organic compounds", including, possibly, seaweed. Despite the fact that the water did not pose a threat to the health of the athletes, it still had to be replaced.
