The brother Polyansky Dimitri, Polyansky Igor , took the 3rd place. One more representative Russian Federation, Bryukhankov Alexander , did not finish.

"Here for us 2016 Summer Olympics also ended with br with br, unfortunately, not as all of us wanted. First of all thanks to all fans for support, we are very glad that you at us are! There is a strong wish to apologize for unsuccessful performance. I want to tell a couple of words about race. Everything began not bad, we perfectly began a swimming stage, the truth on the first anchor buoy I after all got under terrible zames in spite of the fact that floated the 4-5th, it removed me, by my calculations, a place on the 10-11th.

All remained distance I got over forward because understood that the 10-11th place will not suffice for hit in a separation. Fortunately, I managed it, and at the end of meters for 200 up to the end I again removed in the first five. Was worse further, especially did not manage to recover after the swimming, after all the first hill through only 1 km, and it became shock for my feet, and for me became shock that my feet were so acidified. Very much and very offensively, after all I here did not expect a puncture and was confident in a driving uphill. After descent there were no forces to catch up with group going literally in 5-10 meters. Thanks to the brother that tried to secure me, but, probably, thereby as lost opportunity to go in the first group.

Further race was heavy, the weather forecast again deceived us, and the terrible heat was given for our start. For two circles to the finish directly in the pack center from descent there was a blockage, and only the miracle helped me to go round it. As a result after a drift on brakes I and 4 more persons lagged behind the second group. I directed the last efforts to help to work Fernando Alarz in our small group, other athletes did not come for change. When jumped off from the bicycle, thought that I will fall directly in a tranzitka for fatigue and exhaustion, feet were simply turned in. Through 1 km ran up more or less and forced itself to run up to the end though was very much and it is very morally heavy to run from the third group when you had to arrive in the first. To run for … a nadtsaty place when had to fight for a medal. The figure of the brother ahead helped. But all the same it was the hell. These are the Olympic Games. Once again thanks to all fans, friends, native, to trainers, sponsors and everything who kept for us the fingers crossed! I regret if disappointed. I will try to be rehabilitated with your help in the future", - Polyansky Dimitri on the page in Sotsialnaya set Facebook .
