In the past Russia has always seemed to dominate the Olympics, until this year when they came out with only 3 gold medals. The president of Russia Dmitry Medvedev shockingly said that "if those responsible for preparing the athletes don't resign he will make them". Why do you think, since Russia has moved towards a capitalist country has their Olympic medal count gone down?
