Chisinau, Aug. 12 /MOLDPRES/- 26 champions who represented the Republic of Moldova at the Olympic Games in Paris have managed to unite an entire country. For the first time Moldova won four medals - the best performance in the history of our country's participation in the Olympic Games. Prime Minister Dorin Recean made the statements today. He sent a message of gratitude to our athletes who participated in the Summer Olympics.

The Republic of Moldova ranked 72nd out of 206 countries taking part in the Paris Olympics, ahead of Slovakia, Albania, Peru and Qatar.

Silver medallist Anastasia Nichita became the first Moldovan athlete to win an Olympic medal in women's wrestling.
