    \nThe question asks to arrange the given countries based on the total medals earned in the Rio Olympic 2016 in ascending order (from fewest medals to most medals).
    \n<\/section>\n
    \nThe total medal counts for the specified countries in the Rio 2016 Summer Olympics were:
    \n1. United States: 121 medals
    \n2. China: 70 medals
    \n3. Great Britain: 67 medals
    \n4. Russia: 56 medals
    \nArranging these countries in ascending order of total medals:
    \nRussia (56) < Great Britain (67) < China (70) < United States (121)\nThe corresponding numbers from the list are:\n4 (Russia), 3 (Great Britain), 2 (China), 1 (United States).\nSo the ascending order is 4, 3, 2, 1.\n<\/section>\n
    \nThe United States traditionally tops the medal tally in the Summer Olympics. Great Britain had a very successful performance in Rio, finishing second in the gold medal count and second to the US in total medals among these four countries. Russia’s participation was affected by doping controversies, leading to exclusion of some athletes.
