    MOSCOW (AP) Russian nationalist parliament members are calling for top sports officials to resign because of the country's mediocre showing so far in the Winter Olympics.

    Igor Lebedev, the leader of the Liberal Democratic Party's faction in the State Duma, says Russia's performance has brought "bitterness and insult" to the country.

    Russia had only three medals one of each color putting it 11th in overall standings. Russia generally has been one of the Winter Games' dominating forces.

    In a statement Thursday, Lebedev said Russian Olympic Committee head Leonid Tyagachev should resign immediately and that sports minister Vitaly Mutko should go if Russia's performance doesn't improve.

    lol I love how they blame the sports guys and not the fact that their economy is a hunk of shit and can't afford the training/facilities that the rest of the Western world can. Oh, and that a lot of their best athletes GTFO of that country as soon as they get the chance.

    its never made sense why they don't have better skiers. its not like they are a warm weather place with no mountains and no population. somebody has to have some natural talent at it.

    bobsledders too! tiny switzerland and germany kick ass at bobsledding, you think they cant find a few studs Russia, its huge! i know, its right over there!

    their overall failure makes me as happy as seeing al davis alive. keep it up!

    Disagree with the Russian officials stance. Have you seen the Russian woman's curling team?
