The 2017 Universiade in Taipei has come to an end, the Russian team at the 29th Summer World student games took fourth place in the team event, for the first time since 2001, in terms of the number of gold medals, not falling into the top three teams.
The Universiade lasted from 19 to 30 August. During this time, 271 sets of awards were played in 21 sports, more than 7.5 thousand athletes from 144 countries took part in the competition. The Russian delegation included 348 athletes representing more than a hundred universities of the country, including athletes who are students of foreign universities.
On the first line of the medal standings is the Japanese team (37-27-37), the second position was taken by the team South Korea(30-22-30), the third place belongs to the Taiwanese team (26-34-30). The Russian team won 25 gold, 31 silver and 38 bronze medals. In total, the Russians won 94 awards and were second only to the Japanese (101) in the total number of medals.
Most successful Russian athletes performed in rhythmic gymnastics where they won seven gold, four silver and two bronze medals. They also showed good results in diving (4-3-3), where the country, in particular, was represented by world champions Ilya Zakharov and Evgeny Kuznetsov. The Russian team won the most awards in swimming - 16, but only two of them are gold (2-5-9).
The plight of athletes
The last time the Russian team remained below the top three was in 2001, when Beijing hosted the Universiade. In the Chinese capital, the Russians also finished fifth, leaving behind the teams of Ukraine, Japan, the USA and China.
President of the Russian Student Sports Union Sergei Seiranov, commenting on the results of the competition, identified two reasons why the national team failed to stay in the lead. In many respects, the fact that they could not perform in Taipei prevented Russian athletes. Ongoing suspension All-Russian Federation track and field athletics (VFLA) allowed the Russians to compete at the Universiade only in a neutral status, as happened at the recent World Championships in athletics However, the decision was made to abandon this idea. Although at the last Universiade, which was held in Kazan, athletes brought 29 medals to the Russian team, 12 of them were gold. In Taipei, 50 sets of awards were played in athletics.
"The second blow - we knew that China was ignoring the Universiade, but the fact that they would bring such "passengers," Seiranov said about the second reason. table tennis, and the Chinese have only one gold! As a result, all these medals that the Chinese were supposed to win (badminton, rollersport, table tennis) were played among themselves by three Asian countries: Japan, South Korea, Taiwan.
Deserved victories
It was also understandable that the Japanese team wanted to show their best side, whose capital will host the summer matches in three years. Olympic Games. "Japan has never shown such an attitude towards the Universiade before," Seiranov noted.
This was also noted by the country's leadership. Throughout the tournament, the President of Russia noted the contribution to success national team Universiade winners.
Following the results of the competition, Vitaly Mutko, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation for Sports, Tourism and Youth Policy, sent a government telegram to the athletes. "You showed your best athletic qualities, confidently fought against worthy opponents, and brought well-deserved medals to Russia," the telegram says.
