Tina Karol emphasized that the meeting with Yamashito is an important signal for Ukrainian athletes, because he is a guru for them, who is respected by all generations of sports.

In turn, Mr. Yasuhiro Yamashito expressed his full support to the Ukrainian people and highly appreciated the Ukrainian athletes.

" We will make such a proposal to the Japanese government and ask them for help,"

The meeting was also attended by the Olympic champion, Japanese judoka Kosei Ino? ye.
