The Russian team moved up one position in the medal standings at the Beijing Olympics. This happened thanks to the skier Alexander Bolshunov, who took the silver medal in the 15 km race in the classic style. He brought Russia the fourth silver at this Olympics.

Thanks to the success of Bolshunov, the Russian team returned to eighth place in the unofficial medal team standings. Russia managed to overtake Italy. To date, Russia has two gold medals, four silver medals and six bronze medals.

Italy could have slipped back to eighth in the medal standings within the last hour, but biathlete Dorothea Wierer and speed skater Davide Ghiotto were bronze medalists in their respective disciplines, allowing Russia to maintain their position. Italy has two golds, four silvers and four bronzes.
