In his welcoming speech Serhiy Arbuzov noted that our athlete had managed not just to
win the deserved award. “In such hard period for the country Vita Semerenko
could have instilled optimism with her strength of spirit and her will to win
to all Ukraine’s citizens who believe and feel pride for the country, who
have used to augment the glory of our nation with their hard labour, to demonstrate the whole world unexhausted potential
of the internal energy, a desire to win in the fair fight. We are proud of
Vita and all our Olympic sportsmen. With joining efforts our biathletes could
have managed after 8 years to make the world consider the power of Ukrainian
sports in whole and biathlon in particular,” the acting Prime Minister said. Serhiy Arbuzov
wished the bronze winner Vita Semerenko, her sister
Valentyna who had also participated in the sprint
race and all Ukrainian sportsmen strong health, family welfare and new
victories for the sake of Ukrainian nation. “Sport, just as life, doesn’t
forgive any mistakes. But not failures that everyone can have,
appear a decisive factor in the question – whether you win or lose. A motivated
person just learns from failures not to blunder!” the acting Prime Minister
said and expressed hopes that the bronze in biathlon was not the last medal
of Ukrainians during the Winter Olympic Games of 2014. As is known Vita Semerenko came third in 7.5
km sprint race. Vita Semerenko has brought the
first award to Ukraine during the Olympic Games in Sochi. |
