However, Ukraine's 12 medals are the second worst result in history in terms of total number. Ukrainians had fewer awards only at the Games in Rio de Janeiro in 2016. At the same time, three gold awards are Ukraine's best result in 12 years at the Olympics. At the two previous Games, Ukraine won a total of the same number of medals: two – in Rio-2016 and one in Tokyo-2020.
