The top three gold medals in the 25th Barcelona Olympic Games were the Commonwealth of Independent States, the United States and Germany. Which country is CIS?

1992 The Barcelona Olympic Games was the last time that the former Soviet Union appeared in front of the world as a "group". At that time, 12 countries of the former Soviet Union (Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Russia, Uzbekistan, Ukraine, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan) participated in the competition, and they won the competition. It is also the last appearance of the former Soviet Union at the Olympic Games, and it is also a brilliant ending. Although Russia ranked second in the total number of gold medals in the next two Olympic Games, the former sports "Big Mac" has disappeared.

Now the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) still exists as an inter-state organization. Today, we will talk about the performance of CIS countries in Beijing Olympic Games.

Apart from eight gold medals won by Russia, Ukraine is the best performer among the CIS countries. As the second largest country in Europe, Ukraine's achievements in the Olympic Games after independence are average. But they won five gold medals at the Beijing Olympic Games, ranking tenth in the gold medal list. Ukraine's five gold medals came from shooting, archery, track and field and fencing, among which the fencing gold medal was the women's sabre team. In the final, they beat China by one sword, which was impressive, while men's archery beat Korean players by one ring, which was quite miraculous.

Other CIS countries have shown great strength in power events. Yesterday, Belarusian teenager Alamnov broke three world records and won the gold medal in the men's 105 kg weightlifting competition. Kazakhstan won the gold medal in the men's 95 kg weightlifting competition, Azerbaijan won the gold medal in the men's 75 kg judo competition, and all of Kazakhstan's 8 medals and Azerbaijan's 5 medals came from weightlifting, wrestling and judo. In addition to the five countries that won gold medals, Armenia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan also won medals.
