8. Korea
The total number of medals is 21: 9 gold, 3 silver and 9 bronze.
In the winter of 2018 in Pyeongchang (a city in South Korea) will host the next Olympic Games.

A number of scientific institutes and IT companies are already working on the creation of new programs for automatic translation.
7. France
There are 42 medals in total: 10 gold, 18 silver and 14 bronze.
For the first time since 1976, the French won the team dressage (equestrian sport). An interesting story is connected with this victory: one of the finalists, Philippe Rozier, is the son of Marcel Rozier, who was the Olympic champion in the French team of the same sport just in 1976.

Russia's long-standing rivals in sports could not beat our athletes in terms of the total number of medals.

This is the first gold for handball since the 1980 home Olympics. And the famous "mermaids" Natalya Ishchenko and Svetlana Romashina carried the Russian flag at the closing of the Olympics.
3. China
A total of 70 awards: 26 gold, 18 silver and 26 bronze.
For China, the Olympic Games in Rio were not without unpleasant surprises: the organizers of the games twice used the flag of their country with the wrong stars. This happened at the award ceremony for Chinese athletes, and then for Chinese volleyball players.
2. UK
A total of 67 medals: 27 gold, 23 silver and 17 bronze.
Residents of foggy Albion turned out to be the strongest in the triathlon (they took both gold and silver), at a distance of 5 thousand meters, rowing in competitions of fours and eights and in equestrian sports in an individual competition.
1. USA
121 medals in total: 46 gold, 37 silver and 38 bronze
Team USA tops the top 10 medal list for the 2016 Olympics. At the same time, very strange concessions were made to American athletes. For example, the Jury of Appeal allowed the U.S. women's team to run the 4 x 100m relay qualification for the second time. This decision was made after the statement of the runner Allison Felix that the opponent pushed her, which is why Felix could not pass the baton. Jokes are already circulating on the Web on the topic “next time give the Americans all the gold and let them go home.”

Judoka Khasan Khalmurzaev the day before, on August 9, brought the third gold medal to the Russian team at the Olympics. The 22-year-old athlete performs in the weight category up to 81 kg.
The scoring table of the 2016 Olympics shows that Russia is now in fifth place in the ranking, previously the country was in seventh place. Russian medals in Rio this moment– 3 gold, 6 silver and 3 bronze medals.
Kommersant writes that the second gold medal won for Russia in judo by 22-year-old debutant Khasan Khalmurzaev was from the expected category.
Khalmurzaev Khasan 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 still go to Rio: me or the bronze medalist of the London Games Ivan Nifontov,” Khasan Khalmurzaev recalls. “I felt that the choice fall on me, but before the official announcement of the composition on June 30, he forbade himself to rejoice. Already here, Ezio Gamba said that I should not think that the Olympic tournament is somehow special. “Are you ready? So don’t worry, come out and fight the way you can.”
Khasan Khalmurzaev, whose nationality is of interest to many today, comes from Nazran, Ingushetia.
In the final, the Russian athlete fought with Travis Stevens, an American judo veteran who became fifth in London. The American initially sought to squeeze the maximum out of his crown fight on the ground. But it soon became obvious that this number would not work for him, after which Khalmurzaev very competently disposed of the situation that had arisen: 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. My 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 was preparing for it aimingly, 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.”
Judoka Khalmurzaev brought Russia the third gold of the Olympics in Rio. The first gold medal was won on the first day of the competition by Beslan Mudranov, judo, the third gold medal by Yana Egoryan, fencing.

The 2016 Olympics, whose medals are considered by fans around the world, however, disappointed the Russians the day before. Swimming was disappointing. Not to say that our swimmers were favorites in any of the types of the program, but they could take at least one medal from the four sets played out. And if in swimming in the 200m freestyle for women and in the 200m butterfly for men, the Russians did not even make it to the final, then in the men's freestyle relay race, where Danila Izotov, Alexander Krasnykh, Nikita Lobintsev and Mikhail Dovgalyuk competed, a ghostly 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 in the course of the decisive swim, but could not stand the pace and finished the relay in fifth place. The Americans became the champions, the British team pulled out the silver in the very end, the bronze went to the Japanese.
