28th of February ended Winter Olympic Games 2010 in Vancouver... The victory in the team event was won by the Canadian national team, whose athletes won 14 gold, seven silver and five bronze medals. The second position was taken by the German team (10-13-7), the third place was taken by the Americans (9-15-13). The top six also includes teams from Norway (9-8-6), South Korea (6-6-2) and Switzerland (6-0-3).
The Russian national team took 11th place, having won three gold, five silver and seven bronze medals.
In terms of the total number of medals, the Americans were the first (37), ahead of the Germans (30) and Canadians (26). The Russians (15) took the sixth position in the overall medal rating, conceding also the Norwegians (23) and Austrians (16).
The Russian national team showed the worst result in the history of the Winter Olympic Games in terms of the number of gold medals and place in the overall team classification. For the first time, only three gold were won. Previously, our compatriots did not win less than five victories (Grenoble 1968 and Salt Lake City 2002). In the team gold medal standings, the Russians were in 11th place. The national team of our country was out of the top three only at the last three Olympics, but in Salt Lake City-2002 it was the fifth, in Turin-2006 - the fourth. Among the leaders of the world winter sports, the Norwegians dropped out of the first 10th (Turin-2006 - 13th), which neither the Germans nor the Americans ever allowed themselves.
In terms of the total number of medals (15), our compatriots showed the third worst result in the history of the Winter Olympic Games after Grenoble-1968 and Salt Lake City-2002, when they won 13 medals each. However, only 35 sets of awards were played in Grenoble, and Soviet athletes won 12% of all awards. In 2002, there were already 78 sets of awards, and Russians have 13 medals or 5.5%. In 2010, 15 awards were won in 86 disciplines, or 5.8% of the total. Thus, the Russians showed the second worst after 2002 Olympic result by the total number of medals.
Russian biathletes performed more successfully than others, winning two gold, one silver and one bronze. Evgeny Ustyugov won gold in the 15 km mass start and became the bronze medalist in the relay 4 × 7.5 km s Ivan Tcherezov, Anton Shipulin and Maxim Chudov. Olga Zaitseva won the 4 × 6 km relay from Svetlana Sleptsova, Anna Bogaliy-Titovets and Olga Medvedtseva, and also became the second in the mass start at 12.5 km. In the team event in biathlon, the Russians became the third (2-1-1) after the Norwegians (3-2-0) and the Germans (2-1-2).
Only Russian sprinters were competitive in cross-country skiing. In the men's individual sprint Nikita Kryukov brought Russia the first gold of the 2010 Olympics, and Alexander Panzhinsky- the first silver. In a team sprint Nikolay Morilov and Alexey Petukhov won bronze, as did Irina Khazova with Natalia Korosteleva... As a result - one gold, one silver and two bronzes, which gave the fourth place in the overall skiing classification after the Norwegians (5-2-2), Swedes (3-2-2) and Germans (1-4-0).
V figure skating Russians have one silver Evgenia Plushenko in singles tournament and one bronze Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabalin in dancing. The last time our team was left without gold medals in figure skating was in 1960. In the overall standings, the Russians shared the fifth-sixth places with the Japanese (0-1-1). The top three are Chinese (1-1-0), Americans (1-1-0) and Canadians (1-0-1).
In speed skating Ivan Skobrev brought Russia the first medal at the Olympic Games in Vancouver - a bronze medal at a distance of 5000 meters. At 10,000 meters, Skobrev won silver. In the team competition among the speed skaters, Ivan's medals allowed Russia to take eighth place. The top three are South Koreans (3-2-0), Dutch (3-1-3) and Canadians (2-1-2).
The first Russian medal in Olympic snowboarding won Ekaterina Ilyukhina, which became the second in the parallel giant slalom. In the team event in snowboarding, the Russians shared the seventh-eighth places with the Finns. The leaders are Americans (2-1-2), Canadians (2-1-0), Australians (1-0-0) and Dutch (1-0-0).
The first Russian Olympic medal in a skeleton of bronze dignity won Alexander Tretyakov... In the overall standings, this allowed us to take fifth place, behind the teams of Great Britain (1-0-0), Canada (1-0-0), Germany (0-1-1) and Latvia (0-1-0).
In bobsleigh Alexander Zubkov and Alexey Voevoda won bronze in twos. In the team event in this sport, the Russians finished fourth after the Germans (1-2-0), Canadians (1-1-1) and the Americans (1-0-1).
In hockey, curling, luge sports, combined skiing, ski jumping, freestyle, short track speed skating, alpine skiing, that is, in eight out of fifteen sports, the Russians were left without awards. Medals have been won in seven sports, but only two of them (biathlon and cross-country skiing) have won gold.
Team Canada won 14 gold medals, beating the achievements of the USSR national teams in Innsbruck-1976 and Norway in Salt Lake City-2002, which won 13 victories in one Olympics. But the success of the USSR national team in 1976 still looks more significant, since 13 victories were won in 37 disciplines (35 percent of all gold awards). The achievement of Canadians is much more modest - 14 victories in 86 disciplines (16.3 percent).
The Norwegians in 2002 won 13 gold medals in 78 disciplines (16.6 percent). The German national team won 12 gold medals in one Olympics in Nagano-1998 and Salt Lake City-2002.
Team USA broke Germany's record for most medals won in a single Winter Olympics. At the 2002 Games, the Germans won 36 medals (12 gold - 16 silver - 8 bronze). In Vancouver 2010, Americans managed to win 37 awards (9-15-13).
The third result in terms of the total number of medals in history remains with the Americans at the 2002 Olympics (34). The German national team has twice reached the milestone of 29 medals - in Nagano-1998 and Turin-2006.
However, the most serious achievement should still be attributed to the USSR national team, which won 27 medals in Innsbruck-1976, when only 37 sets of awards were played. For example, in Nagano 1998 there were 68 kits, in Salt Lake City in 2002 - 78, in Turin in 2006 - 84, in Vancouver in 2010 - 86.
It is worth noting that the record for the number of awards won is beating at the third of the last four Winter Olympics. With an increase in the number of awards being played, the new American achievement may be beaten in the next Winter Games.

Soviet writer, author of the novel How the Steel Was Tempered. Both Ostrovsky's main novel, depicting the formation of a revolutionary, and the personality of the author (who wrote despite a serious illness, paralysis and blindness) in the Soviet Union were surrounded not only by the official cult, but also by the sincere popularity and veneration of many readers. N.A. Ostrovsky was born in the village of Viliya, Ostrozhsky district of Volyn province (now - Ostrozhsky district of Rivne region, Ukraine) in the family of a distillery worker Alexei Ivanovich Ostrovsky and a cook. He was admitted to the parish school ahead of schedule "because of his outstanding abilities"; He graduated from school at the age of 9 (1913) with a certificate of honor. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Shepetovka. There Ostrovsky since 1916 worked for hire: in the kitchen of a station restaurant, cuber, material warehouse worker, an assistant fireman at a power plant. At the same time he studied in a two-year, then a higher primary school (1917-1919). He became close to local Bolsheviks, during the German occupation he participated in underground activities, was a liaison of the Revolutionary Committee. On July 20, 1919, he joined the Komsomol, on August 9, he volunteered for the front. He fought in the cavalry brigade of G.I. Kotovsky and in the 1st Cavalry Army. In August 1920 he was seriously wounded in the back near Lvov (shrapnel) and was demobilized. Participated in the fight against the insurgency in the special forces (CHON). In 1921 he worked as an assistant to an electrician in the Kiev main workshops, studied at an electrical engineering school, and at the same time was a secretary of the Komsomol organization. In 1922, he built a railway line for the supply of firewood to Kiev, while he caught a bad cold, then fell ill with typhus. After his recovery, he was the commissar of the Vseobuch battalion in Berezdovo (in the border area with Poland), was the secretary of the Komsomol district committee in Berezdovo and Izyaslav, then the secretary of the Komsomol district committee in Shepetovka (1924). In the same year he joined the CPSU (b). Ostrovsky's health was affected by his injury and difficult working conditions. His joints ached. The final diagnosis of N. Ostrovsky - Progressive ankylosing polyarthritis, gradual ossification of the joints. In the fall of 1927, he began to write an autobiographical novel "The Tale of the" Kotovtsy ", but six months later the manuscript was lost in transit. 
From the end of 1930, with the help of a stencil he invented, he began to write the novel How the Steel Was Tempered. The manuscript sent to the magazine "Molodaya gvardiya" received a devastating review: "the derived types are unreal." However, Ostrovsky achieved a second review of the manuscript, regarding which the party organs were instructed. After that, the manuscript was actively edited by the deputy editor-in-chief of Molodaya Gvardia, Mark Kolosov, and the executive editor, Anna Karavaeva, a well-known writer of that time (the writer Yuri Buida even credits her with the real authorship of the novel). Ostrovsky recognized the great participation of Karavaeva in the work with the text of the novel; he also noted the participation of Alexander Serafimovich, who "gave me whole days of his rest." In TsGALI there are photocopies of the manuscript of the novel, which recorded the handwriting of 19 people. It is officially believed that Ostrovsky dictated the text of the book to "voluntary secretaries". Professor V.V. Musatov asserts that "the very process of creating the text of the novel was precisely of a collective nature." In doing so, he refers to the testimony of M.K. Kuprina-Iordanskaya, who transmitted the words of the literary critic Heinrich Lenoble (died 1964), who called himself one of the co-authors of the novel. According to her, Lenoble said “that seven people did the novel“ How the Steel Was Tempered ”. The author's version of the novel was completely unreadable. " Kuprina-Iordanskaya asked Lenoble: "Why did you go for this deception?" N. Ostrovsky in his letters tells in detail about his work on the novel, there are memoirs of his contemporaries - witnesses of the writer's work on the book. Textual research confirms the authorship of N. Ostrovsky. In April 1932, the Molodaya Gvardiya magazine began publishing Ostrovsky's novel; in November of the same year, the first part was published as a separate book, followed by the second part. The novel immediately became very popular. 
In 1935, Ostrovsky was awarded the Order of Lenin, a house in Sochi and an apartment in Moscow were presented to him, and the title of brigade commissar was conferred on him; For the past few months, he has lived on the street of his name (formerly Dead Lane), hosting readers and writers. He made a commitment to write new romance"Born by the Storm" (under the same title as the lost early novel, but on a different plot) in three parts and managed to write the first part, but the novel was recognized as weaker than the previous one, including by Ostrovsky himself. The manuscript of the novel was typed and printed in record time, and copies of the book were presented to loved ones at the writer's funeral. Died in Moscow on December 22, 1936. In 1940, the Nikolai Ostrovsky House-Museum in Sochi and the Memorial Museum in Moscow were opened. A street in the Zheleznodorozhny District of Kursk is named after him. Ostrovsky's works have been translated into the languages of the peoples of the USSR and many foreign languages. In 1935 Ostrovsky was awarded the military rank of brigade commissar. He was awarded the Order of Lenin. Laureate of the Lenin Komsomol Prize (1966). Memorial museums of Ostrovsky are located in Moscow (since 1940) and in Sochi (since 1937), where Ostrovsky lived in 1928-1936 (with interruptions), as well as in the writer's homeland.
