The past Olympics in South Korea was remembered by the fans not only for scandals and incredible victories, but also for disappointments. Russian viewers hoped for the first gold medal in figure skating in the team tournament, but their expectations were not met.

Evgenia Medvedev rolled back her program with a world record, which brought us closer to the highest reward, but men did not support her success. Most disappointed is Mikhail Kolyada. He completely failed his program, allowing a series of falls and gross errors. At the same time, not only the fans but also the former figure skater Maxim Trankov reacted to such a statement, the "Sport Express". "Thank God I'm not at this team tournament. I would see him in the locker room - he would give a bream, "he confessed. As a result, the team took the second place, and the long-awaited gold of Russia was brought by Alina Zagitova in solo skating. The most disastrous was the performance of Russian biathlonists. They went in a very weakened composition. Fans and management still hoped for a medal. Particularly great chances for the athletes were in the mixed relay, but alas. The Russians finished only in 9th place with a two-minute gap from the winners. At the same time it turned out that the trainers, left by the decision of the IOC at home, did not even get in touch with their wards. It is obvious that at the end of the season, posts will be reshuffled. Our athletes in Pyeongchang have been riveted the attention of the whole world, but this is not due to the results, but to doping scandals. Unfortunately, in the body of the curler Alexander Krushelnytsky, who won bronze, found traces of a prohibited drug - meldonia. In this story there has not yet come a denouement, but the leadership and the athlete himself has a lot of questions. It is still not clear who could pour this substance on him, but it is obvious that he did not intend to use it. In samples, the content of meldonia exceeds the world record. CAS decides the fate of the athlete in the future, but the medal Alexander has already lost. Hockey for Russia ended in triumph, and the Swedish team despite the strong composition and successful performances at major competitions completely failed the tournament.

In the group stage, they did not meet resistance and dealt with their rivals, but already in the quarterfinals crashed. They sensationally lost to the Germans, who eventually reached the finals, with a score of 4: 3. Skeleton at the Olympics was missing from the Russian Alexander Tretyakov, and his main rival Latvian Martins Dukurs arrived at the competition with the hope of winning. However, his results were not enough for the podium and besides he was taken away a medal and given to Tretyakov, who achieved her fair work at the Games in Sochi.
