May these medals “be an inspiration and a shining example for the younger generation of young athletes,” says his congratulations, quoted by BELTA.
Viktor Lukashenko also noted the traditionally high-quality training of the Belarusian rowing school, which deservedly has the status of one of the best in the world, and thanked the coaching staff and all the specialists who made efforts to achieve medal results.
As you know, about 300 rowers from 48 countries took part in the global forum held on the Samarkand Rowing Canal. The world champions were Belarusian athletes Elena Nozdreva (canoe single, 1000 m), Nikita Borikov and Oleg Yurenya (kayak double, 1000 m), Yulia Trushkina and Inna Nedelkina (canoe double, 500 m), as well as a quartet consisting of: Nadezhda Kushner, Olga Khudenko, Vladislav Kravets and Dmitry Natynchik (kayak quad, 500 m, mixed).
And her compatriots Marina Litvinchuk (K1, 1,000 m and 5,000 m), Olga Khudenko and Dmitry Natynchik (K2, 500 m, mixed), as well as Angelina Bardanovskaya, Olga Klimova, Vladislav Poleshko and Vitaly Osetsky (C4, 500 m, mixed).
By the way, Vladislav Kravets (K1, 500 m), Olga Khudenko with Marina Litvinchuk (K2, 200 m) and Vladislav Poleshko with Inna Nedelkina (C2, 500 m, mixed) added bronze medals to the overall collection of national victories.
