XXII Olympic Winter Games

The medal count has been reshuffled. Russia has surpassed the other nations. They won the Men's 4x7.5-kilometer Biathlon Relay, the last competition for the Sochi Games.

Norway has the even won when the last leg of the race went to Russia when Norway could not finish their final shooting requirement and took a penalty for leaving one target intact. 

Russia came into the final shooting range behind Norway, rapidly fired at the required targets and was the first out of the blocks of the shooting range. The crowd roared with joy for this victory. 

There were 88 countries competing, some for the first time. The blue nations are making their debut at the winter games.

Of the 88 countries, 26 are taking home medals, but, all are taking home great stories.
