Anatoly Boyko, a patron of the CF "The Future for Children" spoke about the goals of the project

"When we first started working on the "Olympic Dreams 2022" project, our main result was not future victories, which our young athletes will definitely gain, but all their safety. However, today, when we have such an impressive result, as demonstrated by Anastasia Chizhevska, it becomes clear that our efforts and hopes were not in vain. Therefore, on behalf of myself and the Foundation team, I congratulate Nastya on her bronze medal. I am sure that this will not be the last such important award that our athletes will win in the near future," Anatoliy Boyko, patron of "The Future for Children" Foundation, noted.
