In sports, it is well known that the result begins long before the start of the competition. Behind every medal and every record are months and years of hard work, discipline, and the ability to keep going after setbacks.
Dear athletes, coaches, sports veterans, and everyone for whom movement has become a part of life! I congratulate you on Physical Culture and Sports Day!
The war has changed the sporting life of Donetsk Oblast. But even when training has to take place outside our native region, our athletes continue to compete, win, and raise the Ukrainian flag on international arenas.
Special gratitude goes to the coaches who kept teams and young athletes together, and to everyone supporting the sports of Donetsk Oblast far from home.
I wish you strength, good health, new starts, and victories that all of Ukraine will be proud of time and again.
Happy Physical Culture and Sports Day!
