Moldovan sportsmen are the best ambassadors of our country through their performances abroad. The message was sent by founder "Edelweiss" Vlad Plahotniuc, who met today with Tatiana Salcutan and Alexandrin Gutu, gold medalists at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires. Champions said that this is just the beginning and motivated to excel in the international arena.
Still little, the athletes have proposed to overcome their own ambitions and to make their country proud of them. Swimmer Tatiana Salcutan made her dream to come true. She won the gold medal at the 200 meters back swimming test.
And the Greek-Roman style fighter Alexandrin Gutu put his opponents to the ground in two strokes and three moves, becoming an Olympic Champion. The success of the young people impressed the founder of "Edelweiss", Vlad Plahotniuc, who said that he finds himself in the spirit of fighters.
Vlad Plahotniuc congratulated the Olympians for their performance and told them that their work is appreciated here at home.
"You are the best ambassadors of the country abroad through the performances you get, you show a beautiful exercise done. We not only pride ourselves, but also see other countries and the news about us, what we do, comes from what what do you do? You have our support and you will have further support", said Vlad Plahotniuc.
As an appreciation for the work and results of the athletes, Vlad Plahotniuc's foundation "Edelweiss" offered them prizes to champions and to their coaches.
"We have prepared for each of you a voucher worth 50,000 lei and a support for your coaches worth 25 thousand. To carry us proudly the name of Moldova outside the country," said Lidia Cucoş, Executive Director of Edelweiss Foundation.
Still excited and tired after the Youth Olympic Games, Moldavian athletes confessed that the feelings experienced in the championship will motivate them to persist further.
"The championship was very beautiful, it was one of the best experiences of my life. I liked it very much and the emotions were big. Everyone needs support, especially when it comes to athletes. work depends on the results and involves a greater responsibility", said the swimmer Tatiana Salcutan.
"We did it because I worked a lot for this and it was my dream for which I was fighting for seven years. When we are backed up and the courage is a bit different and better we go ahead", said the fighter Alexandrin Gutu.
"Of course we hope for a medal, but you know how it is in sports, sport is not mathematics and we thought it would be a medal, but ... We go forward and achieve bigger results", said coach Roman Zgardan.
These are not the only obtained medals at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires.
