I just looked it up that the Gold medalist's name is Igor Polyansky. This was the Men's 200 m backstroke at the 1988 Olympics. In the ultimate irony, according to his Wikipedia article, Igor Polyansky is now living in NEW ZEALAND where he apparently runs a swimming school in Auckland with his wife. So it's ultimately a win for both Soviet Union and New Zealand.
Thank you everyone here for viewing this. Was a fun day for sure. The announcer apologized to me after the event and was very gracious. His only two errors in the entire meet.
Nah he’s no Soviet. 😐 He’s not based. Putin’s a reactionary Russian nationalist who believes more in the Tsarist Russian Empire than anything Soviet which ofc was formed in opposition to the Tsars.

It's been 34 years since the iron curtain fell and the Soviet Union are still second on the list of most medals won in the Summer Olympics and number four on the list for the Winter Olympics.
