This summer you may have watched the Olympics, and seen the Russian team compete. It didn't do badly, but it wasn't ever in real competition with the US or China for total medals. There was a time--before you were born--when it went head to head with the US every time. That, of course, was back when the Cold War raged on, which we'll talk about on Thursday.
How many medals would the USSR have won?
