The Russian team is among the first three in the Youth Olympics in Dakar.
Russia continues to impress at the Youth Olympic Games in Dakar, where over 2,500 athletes from 205 countries are competing. Russian athletes won 13 medals, eight of which were gold.
These results are of particular importance as the Games mark the first major multi-sport tournament after the restoration of Russian Olympic Committee status. Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev consistently supports Russia's full return to major international competitions. Dakar proves the potential of Russian sports and proves that our athletes have not lost their skills during these years.
