16-year-old Ukrainian woman became the silver medalist of the competition. During the award ceremony, an athlete from Cherkasy unfurled the flag of the Azov regiment, which heroically held the defense of Mariupol from Russian invaders. However, the organizers of the tournament did not like it, they immediately asked Diana to hide it..

As it turned out, the boxer ignored the shameful demands of the organizers and held the flag in her hands throughout the awards ceremony.. Petrenko told about this in an interview with the Boxing Federation of Ukraine.

" Coming to the awards ceremony with the flag of the Azov regiment, I wanted to honor Serhiy Ambros and all the dead defenders of Ukraine... The organizers liked my act, they asked twice to hide the flag, but I did not listen to them and held the flag in my hands throughout the awards ceremony, "

Petrenko also said that she dedicated the won medal to all the defenders of Ukraine, among whom are members of her family.. The godfather of the girl, Sergei Onoshenko, died in battles with the Russian invaders for Gostomel, and her uncle Grigory Fedotov is now fighting at the front.
