Untitled[edit]

I have included the medals won by Lithuanian players while playing for the USSR (and Lubinas for the USA) because, as Arvydas Sabonis said in this interview (in Spanish)

^[1]

2:01 “We were privileged because we lived that era and then the new era... and our kids don't understand that”
2:15 “Some things were good, some bad. But it is your history, you cannot cut and say 'I don't remember anything'”
2:26: “As an athlete, you won a lot there and here... in the medal it is not written”
2:32: “The medal is yours because you worked, neither communists nor capitalists”

At the bottom there is a collapsible full table, but it so big that it is not very practical. I have broken down the table to hopefully visualize it better. I have sorted the medallists by the number of total medals, then gold-silver-bronze, then most recent first, then alphabetically.

If preferred, maybe the Soviet flags could be replaced by a cell with a red background or similar. D0nc0s (talk) 19:39, 19 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
