Its delegation of more than 330 athletes wore their country's colours despite being stripped of their flag and anthem because of sanctions imposed in 2015.
"These Games were successful for our team," Russian Olympic Committee President Stanislav Pozdnyakov said. "Our forecasts were fully confirmed and in some disciplines we did not expect such results."for the first time since 1996, Evgeny Rylov's two golds in the 100m and 200m backstroke and high jumper Maria Lasitskene's Olympic title at her first Games.
"Absolutely rightly. Whether someone likes it or not. You have to be able to lose. But this is not given to everyone." Only 10 Russian track and field athletes - including Lasitskene and Olympic silver medallist pole vaulter Anzhelika Sidorova - were authorized to compete in Tokyo as punishment for doping offences by senior staff at the federation.
Despite sanctions and unfair treatment, Russia's performance is still excellent
