Russia, referred to by its formal name; the Russian Federation, by the International Olympic Committee, has competed at the modern Olympic Games on many occasions, but as different nations in its history. As the Russian Empire, the nation first competed at the 1900 Summer Olympics and returned again in 1908 and 1912. It would be forty years until Russian athletes once again competed at the Olympics, as the Soviet Union at the 1952 Summer Olympics. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia competed as part of the Unified Team in 1992, and finally returned once again as Russia at the 1994 Winter Olympics.

The Russian Olympic Committee was created in 1991 and recognized in 1993. The Soviet Union hosted the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, and the Russian Federation hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

In twelve appearances from 1994 to 2016, Russian athletes won a total of 422 medals at the Summer Olympic Games and another 120 at the Winter Olympic Games. Russia's 542 total medals, including 193 gold medals, are second behind only the United States in that timespan.

In 2017, Russia was suspended from competing at the Olympic Games due to the state-sponsored doping scandal. Russian athletes were allowed to participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics as the Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR). They were also allowed to compete at the 2020 Summer Olympics and the 2022 Winter Olympics, representing the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC).[1]

Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) allowed Russian athletes to participate at the 2024 Summer Olympics and 2026 Winter Olympics as Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN).[2][3] The suspension of the ROC was provisionally lifted in July 2026, before the qualifying events for the 2028 Summer Olympics, with the IOC also stating that a decision on restoring the complete use of the Russia name and its national symbols at the Olympics will later be made "at the appropriate time."[4][5]

Hosted Games

[edit]

Russia has hosted the Games on two occasions. Moscow was the host of the 1980 Summer Games, when Russia (Russian SFSR) was part of the Soviet Union. Sochi was the host of the 2014 Winter Games, as part of the Russian Federation.

Combined medals

[edit]

The Russian Federation, the Russian Empire, the Olympic Athletes from Russia, and the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) are sometimes combined outside of IOC sources. The Soviet Union is often combined with the post-union team that competed in 1992.[6][7][8] Some sources combine the Soviet Union and Russia, despite the fact that many republics which subsequently gained or re-gained independence (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan) contributed to the medal tally of the USSR, and there are sources that combine all medals of RU1, URS, EUN, OAR, ROC and RUS.[9][10] On 31 January 1992, the United Nations recognized, without objection, Russia as legal successor of the rights and obligations of the former Soviet Union,[11] but this has no significance in medal tallies.

Neutral Russian athletes that competed as Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN) at the 2024 Summer and the 2026 Winter Olympics are also included in the table.

Notes

[edit]
  • On 9 February 2014, Russia captured the inaugural gold medal in the team figure skating event at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.[12] Yulia Lipnitskaya, at 15, becomes the youngest Russian Winter Olympic medalist.[citation needed]
  • On 10 February 2014, Viktor Ahn won the first short track speedskating medal for Russia competing as Russia. He won the bronze medal in the 1500m short track speedskating event at the 2014 Sochi winter Olympics.[13]
  • On 15 February 2014, Ahn won the second Russian gold medal in the 1000m short track speedskating event, leading the first Russian 1–2 finish in short track, with Vladimir Grigorev winning silver. At 31 years and 191 days, Grigorev also became the oldest man to win a short track Olympic medal.[14]
  • On 20 February 2014, Adelina Sotnikova won the first ever Russian ladies figure skating gold medal.

Stripped Olympic medals

[edit]

Due to doping violations, Russia has been stripped of 52 Olympic medals – the most of any country, four times the number of the runner-up, and 31% of the global total. It was the leading country in terms of medals removed due to doping at the 2002 Winter Olympics (5 medals), the 2006 Winter Olympics (1 medal), the 2008 Summer Olympics (14 medals), the 2010 Winter Olympics (2 medals), the 2012 Summer Olympics (20 medals), 2014 Winter Olympics (4 medals — 10 others were stripped and subsequently returned), as well as joint-most at the 2004 Summer Olympics (3 medals) and the 2016 Summer Olympics (1 medal). Also two medals were also stripped from Russian teams competing as OAR at the 2018 Winter Olympics (1 medal) and the ROC at the 2022 Winter Olympics (1 medal downgraded from gold → bronze).

2016–2026 suspension

[edit]

Russia was partially banned from participation at the 2016 Summer Olympics due to the state-sponsored doping scandal. Russian athletes were then allowed to participate in the 2018 Winter Olympics as the Olympic Athletes from Russia (OAR), and in both the 2020 Summer Olympics and the 2022 Winter Olympics as the Russian Olympic Committee athletes (ROC).[64][1]

Amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced in January 2023 plans to have Russian athletes introduced as Individual Neutral Athletes (AIN) at the 2024 Summer Olympics.[2][65] The IOC also published a statement stating that it supported the return of Russian athletes, as long as they did not "actively" advocate for the war and as long as their flag, anthem, colors, and organizations were excluded (thus preventing them from competing under the Russian Olympic Committee as in 2020 and 2022).[66] However, they could not compete in team events.[67] With the Russo-Ukrainian war extending into 2026, Russian athletes were also introduced as Individual Neutral Athletes at the 2026 Winter Olympics under the same rules used in 2024.[3] In July 2026, the IOC provisionally lifted the suspension of the ROC, in time for Russian athletes to potentially take part in qualifying events for the 2028 Summer Olympics, and stated that it will make the decision on the display of Russian national symbols at the Olympics "at the appropriate time."[4][5]
