But, interestingly, the more pressure they put on us, the more our country supports sports, its athletes, and the more it cheers for them, worries.

In fact, despite all the limitations, the result was wonderful. Of course, we can use different methods to calculate where we are, but if we take the total number of medals won by our team, we have achieved an excellent result. Second place in the world, ahead of China and the United States. 32 medals is just a brilliant result. Athletes from Moscow also had a brilliant result – 13 medals. You fought selflessly, fought to the end, put all your strength, and we were all very worried about you. On behalf of the Muscovites, I would like to say a huge thank you for defending the honor of Moscow and our country and for your worthy performance. Thank you very much, congratulations! – quotes Sobyanin “Match TV”.
