>>> medals = {'Japan':41, 'Russia':56, 'South Korea':21, 'United States':121, 'Germany':42, 'China':70}
>>> sorted(medals.items(), key=lambda v: v[1])
[('South Korea', 21),
 ('Japan', 41),
 ('Germany', 42),
 ('Russia', 56),

 ('United States', 121)]

Save the three countries with the highest medal count to the list, top_three.

>>> medals = {'Japan':41, 'Russia':56, 'South Korea':21, 'United States':121, 'Germany':42, 'China':70}
>>> sorted(medals.items(), key=lambda v: v[1], reverse=True)[:3]
[('United States', 121), ('China', 70), ('Russia', 56)]
