And yet, every time athletes demonstrate real miracles, looking at which you refuse to believe your eyes. So it happened this time.

Russian figure skaters again beat their own and world records. The battle for the first place broke out between Zagitova and Medvedeva and till the end it was impossible to guess its outcome. As a result, Medvedeva earned 238 points, and her younger rival - 239. Bronze went to Canada with K. Osmond.

Despite the annoying second-place run, Medvedeva in the short program managed to make the incredible - with an estimate of 81.6 she broke the world record. The figure skater T. Lipinski commented on the achievement of the figure skater: "60 points are won by good figure skaters, 70 points by excellent ... Those who gain more than 80 are just Russians."

Despite the fact that Russian athletes failed to deploy their flag at the Games this time, they still took 17 medals to their homeland, two of which turned out to be gold. Zagitova's victory was surprisingly beautiful, but predictable, which can not be said about the triumph of Russian hockey players - not so elegant and certainly quite unexpected.

Over the past 26 years, Russia was only once in the final of the Games and lost it, so conceding to the Germans this time would be simply unforgivable. And let the match was tense, Gusev with Kaprizov still got their gold debut.

A unique record was set in Pyeongchang by athlete from the Czech Republic. Esther Ledeckaya took a gold medal in two completely different sports - in the ski and snowboard. And if in the latter her victory was already indisputable, the ski gold turned out to be a sensation.

Russian skiers also brought to the country eight awards in different disciplines. The struggle turned out to be not life, but death, as it was harder than ever to compete with the Norwegians. Bjoergen beat the world record by becoming the eight-time Olympic champion. Her victory this time made her the most titled Olympic athlete.

Earlier this title belonged to her compatriot U.-E. Bjoerndalen, who was not allowed to the Games this time. And nevertheless, Russian skiers did not allow the Scandinavians to relax. Six awards for men and two for women - an excellent result. Alexander Bolshunov showed aerobatics, who became the first Russian skier to take 4 awards at once. 

What will be the Olympics in 2022 impossible to foresee, but it is absolutely certain that many years later many people will say with nostalgia: "Do you remember, in 2018?" Indeed, there is something to remember!
