I doubt it will do much to mollify Nashi, but after an embarrassing 11th place finish in the medal count at the Vancouver Winter Olympic games, Russia’s athletes performed quite well at this year’s Paralympics:
Just weeks after Russia suffered its worst-ever Winter Olympics, its team trounced the competition at the Vancouver Winter Paralympics to nab 38 medals, including 12 golds.
The Russians won more medals than any other team but placed second in the number of golds, one short of Germany’s 13. Germany won 24 medals overall.
The United States, overall winner at the Olympics, came in only sixth at the Paralympics.
