Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your kind words! Together we did it, together we took our sport to a higher level!

I wish that we continue to fight together for a better sport that is worthy of our country’s history. Let’s fight our battles together and I count you by my side – count me by your side always – in what is to come in the future.
