4 5 1 4 russian singles canada 2 1 . The Russian figure skater Evgenia Medvedeva won the short program in Sunday’s team competition.

If there is any enmity toward the Russians for a state-backed system of doping that operated at the 2014 Winter Olympics, it does not appear evident, at least publicly, in this most visible and closely followed of sports at the Games. The audience clapped politely on Sunday, and there seemed to be no booing. After the final round on Monday, the team of Russians won silver behind Canada, which took the gold medal. The United States claimed the bronze.

Russian ice dancer Dmitri Soloviev said. We felt that every person sitting in each corner of the stadium was yelling the name of Russia. Russian fans cheered for Medvedeva, a gold medal favorite in the women’s singles competition next week. Games in such a hard and unfair way. Figure skating is a much more established and celebrated sport. No country has won more Olympic skating medals than the former Soviet Union and Russia. And no sport other than hockey ratifies Russia’s history of dominant achievement at the Winter Games.
