Olympics. Belarus enters an anti-record medal collection schedule at the Summer Olympics

2016-08-11 01:12:24

In Rio de Janeiro, Belarus entered an anti-record medal collection schedule at the Summer Olympics. Until now, the worst figure was at the 2012 Games in London, when the Belarusian delegation received its first award only on the fifth day of the competition (Marina Shkermankova, weightlifting, category up to 69 kg).

At the 2016 Olympics, the fifth day of the competition did not bring any awards to our athletes. The piggy bank of the Belarusian national team in Rio de Janeiro is still empty.

So what?? What does it say?

Norway and Finland are northern countries, their strong point is the winter olympiads.

Yes, and I deeply doubt that bureaucrats in these countries set some kind of medal plan for their athletes, here are 20 medals and no less!

What is the Olympics in modern realities? This is essentially a clownery, many countries are tearing their ass on medals to demonstrate that their country is not the most backward in this world, i.e. a kind of "measuring peeps". Belarus is no exception, the more medals, the more we will perform for the whole world as a country with huge economic development, since athletes win, it means that the country has money to finance sports in the country.

However, the Belarusian teams have not yet reached the finals.

Olympic gold

Olympic gold was brought to Belarus by 20 athletes, who have won 18 medals.

Three gold medals at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi Daria Domracheva(biathlon), who received the title of Hero of Belarus and became one of the best athletes of the Games. On February 11, 2014, she became the Olympic champion in the pursuit. She won the second gold medal in the 15 km individual race. Daria got her third gold medal in the mass start race. Domracheva became the first biathlete in history to win three Olympic gold medals in individual races.

Ekaterina Karsten(rowing) - a participant in six Olympics, starting in 1992 in Barcelona. Two-time Olympic champion in the history of independent Belarus. At her first Olympic Games in 1992, she became a bronze medalist in the quad sculls. Then there were two gold medals in singles - in Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000, a silver medal at the 2004 games in Athens and a bronze medal at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.

Elina Zvereva(athletics, discus) - participant in five Summer Olympics (1988, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008). Bronze medalist in Atlanta 1996. At the age of 39, she won gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. After 8 years at the Beijing Olympics, she took 6th place.

Yanina Karolchik(athletics, shot put) - champion of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. In the final sixth attempt, she managed to put the shot to 20m 56cm and far outperform her rivals, in particular, the second-place experienced Russian athlete Larisa Peleshenko (19m 92 cm).

Yulia Nesterenko(athletics, sprint) became the main sensation of the 2004 Olympics in Athens, winning the 100 m race. In the final race, she swept in front of the crowded stands of the Olympic stadium in Athens in 10.93 seconds. Julia was ahead of the recognized sprint aces - Americans Colander and Williams, representatives of Jamaica Campbell, Bailey and Simpson, as well as the Bulgarian runner Lalova and the representative of the Bahamas Ferguson. After this victory, she was given the nickname "White Lightning".

At the 2004 Athens Olympics Igor Makarov(judo), performing in the weight category up to 100 kg, won the first gold for Belarus in the history of participation of our wrestling masters on the tatami in the Olympics. In the final bout, he defeated Sung Ho Jang from South Korea. According to the three-time Olympic champion in freestyle wrestling Alexander Medved, who watched the fight, only a few achieve such a result, and it became possible because Makarov stubbornly walked towards his goal.

At the XXIX Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008, twenty-year-old Andrey Aryamnov(weightlifting) was out of competition in his weight category (105 kg) and became a champion. Our hero during the competition set three world records. First, Andrei improved his world record in the snatch - 200 kg, in the second exercise - clean and jerk in the final attempt, he took another record weight - 236 kg and in the biathlon gained 436 kg - also a new world record.

Oksana Menkova(athletics, hammer) won the gold medal of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. In the final, in her fifth attempt, she threw the hammer at 76.34 m and set a new Olympic record (the previous one was 75.2 m).

Belarusian canoe-two crew consisting of brothers Alexander and Andrey Bogdanovich(canoeing, pair) won the gold medal of the 2008 Olympics. At 250, 500 and 750 meters, Andrey and Alexander were third. Everything changed a few tens of meters before the finish line: the Belarusian athletes found the strength for the final spurt and literally snatched victory from the German crew, ahead of them by only 0.223 seconds. Time of winners - 3 min. 36.365 seconds.

The crew of the Belarusian kayak-four Roman Petrushenko, Alexey Abalmasov, Artur Litvinchuk and Vadim Makhnev(kayaking, quad) won Olympic gold in Beijing. They finished without letting anyone doubt their superiority. If for Alexey Abalmasov and Artur Litvinchuk the Olympic success was the first in their career, then for Roman Petrushenko and Vadim Makhnev this is the second Olympic award. Four years ago in Athens, they won bronze in the two-man kayak.

Alexey Grishin(freestyle) in Nagano-98 was the eighth, in 2002 in American Salt Lake City he became a bronze medalist, in Turin-2006 he stopped a step away from the podium, taking fourth place, and received his gold at the XXI Winter Olympic Games in 2010 in Vancouver. This is the first gold medal in the history of Belarus won at the Winter Olympic Games.

Sergey Martynov(bullet shooting) - winner of the Games of the XXX Olympiad in 2012. In London, Sergei Martynov won his third medal at the Olympic Games. Prior to that, he won bronze twice - in Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004. In total, he took part in six Olympics, and four of them got into the finals. In the capital of Great Britain, the 44-year-old Belarusian had no equal in shooting from a small-caliber rifle at 50 m. In the qualifying tournament, he won an unconditional victory, setting a new world record - 600 points. In the final round, Sergei Martynov was again outrageously stronger than his opponents, once again improving the world achievement with a total of 705.5 points.

Maxim Mirny and Victoria Azarenka(tennis, mixed doubles) won the final of the mixed doubles tennis tournament at the London Olympics. The Belarusian duet Azarenka/Mirny is unique. It included two current world No. 1s: Victoria Azarenka was then the current World No. 1 in women's singles according to the WTA rankings, and Max Mirny led the ATP rankings in men's doubles. At the 20th Olympiad in London, Victoria Azarenka also became a bronze medalist in singles.

Alla Tsuper(freestyle, acrobatics) - champion of the XXII Olympic Games in 2014. Alla Tsuper's Olympic gold became a sensation. At the Olympics, she constantly lacked a little: she took 5th place in 1998 and 9th place in 2002. However, in Sochi, Zuper used her chance to one hundred percent, not allowing judges and rivals to doubt her superiority. Alla Tsuper's gold is the first Olympic award in the history of Belarusian women's freestyle.

Belarusian freestyler Anton Kushnir(freestyle, acrobatics) became the Olympic champion in 2014 in Sochi. In the final round of competitions in the Rosa Khutor Extreme Park, a 29-year-old Minsk resident perfectly performed a jump with the highest coefficient of complexity - a triple somersault with 5 screws, and received the highest score among all competitors - 134.59 points.

At 15.30 cyclists will start the 237-kilometer race. Belarus will be represented Vasily Kirienk oh and Konstantin Sivtsov, however, are not among the favorites of our participants.

Kiriyenko will certainly not give all the best before the “cutting”. Sivtsov, on the other hand, should be in the group of leaders until the decisive showdown, but it will be extremely difficult for the champion of Belarus to fight with Valverde, Froome and Nibali.

Two-time Olympic champion and six-time world champion in rowing Ekaterina Karsten, who celebrated her 44th birthday on June 2, will start in her seventh Olympics, and is not going to be an extra again. Although it will be much more difficult for Catherine the Great to fight for medals than in previous years, as strong young competitors have grown up.

Yulia Bichik and Tatiana Kukhta(17.00), as well as Stanislav Shcherbachenya in competitions of men's singles (14.30).

The results of the performances of the sportsmen of the BFSO "Dynamo" at the XXXI Summer Olympics-2016 in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil)

The representation of the regional organizational structures of the BFSO "Dynamo" looked as follows:

1. Brestskaya - 10* people in three sports (boxing, rowing, athletics);

2. Vitebsk - 3* people in three sports (cycling, judo, athletics);

3. Gomel - 4 people in four sports (Greco-Roman wrestling, rowing, rowing and canoeing, athletics);

4. Grodno - 8 * people in three sports (freestyle wrestling, athletics, bullet shooting);

5. Minsk - 20 * people in nine sports (freestyle wrestling, artistic gymnastics, academic rowing, judo, athletics, sailing, diving, bullet shooting, table tennis);

6. Mogilev - 1 person in one sport (weightlifting).

Note: * Asterisk marks athletes who give credit to two organizations (5 people in total).

The Olympic team of the Republic of Belarus won nine medals at the 2016 Games (1 gold, 4 silver and 4 bronze). They were awarded to 12 athletes. It should be noted that the Dynamo athletes are the owners of four medals. "Silver" for Daria Naumova - weightlifting, Mogilev OOS (regional organizational structure), for Ivan Tikhon - athletics, Grodno OOS; "bronze" for Ibragim Saidov - freestyle wrestling, Grodno OOC, Marina Litvinchuk - rowing and canoeing, Gomel OOC.

Fourth places went to Vladimir Samsonov - table tennis, Minsk International Organizational Organization (Interterritorial Organizational Structure), and Marina Litvinchuk - kayaking and canoeing, Gomel Regional Environmental Organization. Seven Dynamo players took fifth places (Vasilisa Marzalyuk - freestyle wrestling, Melitina Stanyuta - rhythmic gymnastics, Maria Kadobina - rhythmic gymnastics, Maria Kotyak - rhythmic gymnastics, Arina Tsycilina - rhythmic gymnastics, all - Minsk MOS, Stanislav Shcherbachenya - academic rowing, Gomel OOS, Tatyana Kholodovich - track and field athletics, Brest OOS), three - sixth places (Ekaterina Galkina - rhythmic gymnastics, Minsk MOS, Marina Litvinchuk - rowing and canoeing, Gomel OOS, Ilya Chergeiko - bullet shooting, Grodno OOS / Minsk MOS), one - seventh (Anna Malyshchik - athletics, Brest OOS) and three - eighth (Yulia Bichik - academic rowing, Tatyana Kukhta - academic rowing, both - Brest OOC, Alena Dubitskaya - athletics, Grodno OOC).

Unfortunately, the athletes of the Brest, Vitebsk and Minsk organizations did not manage to do this, representing a total of 30 members of the Olympic team of the Republic of Belarus.

The result of the performance of the athletes of the BFSO "Dynamo" could have been much higher if there had not been an unforeseen suspension of the men's rowing and canoeing team from participating in the Olympics.

Now the Dynamo Olympic podium for the entire period of participation in the Olympiads from 1952 to 2016 is 87 people who won 127 medals (40 + 38 + 49) in 16 sports out of 27 developed in the BFSO "Dynamo".

News of Belarus. They prepared for it for 4 years, and she raced in 17 days. The Olympics in Rio ended on the night of August 22, and Belarusian athletes are already returning home. All of them undoubtedly received valuable professional and life experience, and some athletes also received medals, proving to the whole world that they are the best in their disciplines.

In the final medal standings, Belarus was 40th (out of 87). We have 9 awards - from gold to bronze. Let's remember, as they say, names, appearances, flogged!

No. 1. Silver Daria Naumova

Belarusians waited for the first medal for 7 whole days. The 20-year-old weightlifter Daria Naumova opened the account for the awards. In the weight category up to 75, the athlete lifted 258 kg and won a silver medal at the first Olympic Games in her life! And this is all the more significant because the girl came from light to weightlifting only 5 years ago.

No. 2. Gold of Vladislav Goncharov

Vlad is also only 20 years old, and the Olympics in Rio is also the first for him, as well as the medal in trampolining for Belarus in the entire history of our athletes' participation in this sport. The first - and immediately golden!

Number 3. Silver Vadim Streltsov

The history of this medal is from the category of the legend of the Phoenix. In the status of the country's most promising weightlifter, Vadim participated in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. But he arrived there injured and failed miserably. Career began to crumble before our eyes: in 2013, Streltsovets was directly offered to leave big-time sports. And with the support and thanks to the personal initiative of coach Viktor Leonidovich Shershukov, he rehabilitated himself - he became the world champion in weightlifting in 2015 and a silver medalist in Rio! By the way, Vadim is unlucky at the Olympics: he performed in Brazil with a sore knee.

No. 4. Bronze of Alexandra Gerasimenya

Alexandra Gerasimenya pleases us with the second Olympics in a row! In London 2012, the athlete was a 2-time silver medalist in the 100 and 50 m freestyle heats. In Rio Alexandra, only the 50-meter race succumbed, but its weight is immeasurable in metal. Here the matter is in the results of competitions in the inter-Olympic period. At the 2015 World Cup in Kazan, Alexandra failed at both crown distances: at the “hundredth” she became the penultimate one in the semifinals, at the “fifty dollars” she did not even leave the “preliminary”. And many hurried to write off our "goldfish" from the accounts ... But no such luck!

No. 5. Bronze by Javid Gamzatov

26-year-old Javid Gamzatov brought a bronze medal in Greco-Roman wrestling for Belarus, but also to the delight of Dagestan. 10 years ago, the athlete moved to the Gomel region. He trained first in Mozyr, then in Gomel. And the fact that the Olympic medalist grew out of Gamzatov must be thanked to his older brother, who brought the 9-year-old Javid to the wrestling section.

No. 6. Silver Maria Mamoshuk

This medal is especially valuable for Belarus - it is the first in women's wrestling in the history of the country's participation in the Olympic Games. And it was won by a 23-year-old girl from the small village of Zyabrovka, 18 kilometers from Gomel. Mashenka grew up there, and a serious athlete Maria Mamoshuk was brought up in the Gomel Olympic Reserve School!

No. 7. Silver Ivan Tikhon

The medal of Ivan Tikhon is more than the award of the main start of the four years in the piggy bank of Belarus. This is a triumphant return of an athlete to big sport after almost 8 years. This is the restoration of a seriously tarnished reputation. This is a personal victory for those who have always believed in Tikhon. This is beyond words, read here:

No. 8. Bronze women's kayak-four

Margarita Makhneva, Nadezhda Lepeshko, Olga Khudenko and Marina Litvinchuk brought medals in the 500m. The girls, as they say, with their breasts stood for the entire Belarusian rowing and canoeing in Rio. Because of the men's team from the Olympics, the women's team played in Brazil without their "second half" and without a coach, who, for the same reason, was forced to stay in Minsk.
