Depends how you count the German medal totals. Most tables don't amalgamate them given that having two countries gave them twice as many athletes as other countries in sports like athletics and swimming. Indeed would modern Germany want to include East German medals given the controversies associated with the way in which they were won?

 

As for Russia they haven't yet reached the thousand mark although the former Soviet Union did and are second only to the US in the all-time table. 

 

Germany doesn't include GDR, because the twice the athletes rule, but it has West Germany and Unified team included.

 

Soviet Union was Russia so....

 

Be happy you are the 4th nation to reach the 1000th milestone.

Stadium went entirely quite right after the finish and in the background we saw some people running to Girma....I really hope we can soon see him sit up or something, that looked awful.
