The message reads, in part:
“I am happy to congratulate you on your outstanding performance at the World Championships, where you won gold medals in canoeing and kayaking in non-Olympic disciplines. I also want to extend my congratulations to Zakhar Petrov and Yekaterina Shlyapnikova on winning two gold medals.
Such impressive and well-deserved success is a testament to your skill and team cohesion. It is also a significant contribution to the rich traditions of our national canoeing and kayaking school.”
